The Facts
Almine Rech presents Chloe Wise's film installation 'PsyFi*' for the first time in New York at the 86th Street Cinema, 210 East 86th Street, from November 13 to 16, 2026, daily from 12 to 8 pm. Admission is free with RSVP. The 30-minute, three-channel work draws from science fiction, religious iconography, and late-20th-century cinema and television, examining how storytelling and media shape understanding of experiences beyond logic or proof. The film was commissioned by Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger (KBH.G), Switzerland, where it debuted as part of the exhibition 'Extrasensory'.
The Signal
The New York presentation is curated for Performa by Job Piston, in partnership with Elephant, Library Fetish, and CAP99, as part of 'Double Feature', marking the re-opening of the 86th Street Cinema. A benefit evening for Performa on Thursday, November 12, 2026, hosted by Miles Greenberg and Chloe Wise, will feature the film's premiere. The presentation signals Wise's growing institutional presence and the continued integration of film and performance within gallery programming, while also highlighting Performa's role in activating historic cinema spaces for contemporary art.
