In 2006, performance artist Dan Fishback mounted a show at P.S. 122 called NO DIRECTION HOMO, featuring all of his scattered and unrelated projects - bands, monologues, even a performance-based slumber pizza party. Six years later, he shows no sign of picking a focus. For a full weekend at BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange, NO DIRECTION HOMO: Volume 2 features three of Fishback's major projects -- a reading of his new musical, The Material World, a presentation by students from his performance workshop, Needing It, and the long-awaited release of his new full-length solo album, The Mammal Years - a record he would have finished way back in 2006 if he hadn't gotten so busy with everything else.
