Alysse Stepanian and Philip Mantione have been collaborating on videos, installations, multimedia performances and music for several years. In November of 2006 the couple began a one-year residency at Kunsthaus Tacheles.





“Dont be afraid, be ready” is an installation they created during their three-month residency at Imagine Gallery in Beijing. City Weekend magazine named this exhibition as number one of the top five art exhibits in Beijing (June 20, 2006).





L.P. Streitfeld, art critic and writer for the New York Times and The Advocate & Greenwich Times, has described the BOX 1035 work, “Utility of Obsession: All Things Orange,” as “...a wry and profound commentary on the conflicted state of Americas emotions.“
Recent exhibitions include "...until you slip" at the Islip Art Museum in New York.

In 2005 we abandoned the idea of having a home to pursue international projects. Our Post Office Box 1035 became a symbol for non-permanence, a nomadic existence motivated not by the needs of survival, but by an interest in experience and movement. Risk and uncertainty are perversely attractive, and in a sense this is life imitating art.








BOX 1035 emerged from the gradual melding of our ideas as individual artists. In combining the perspectives of the visual arts and music we have created work that is multisensorial, static and temporal, ephemeral and timeless. Our work is multilayered with social, political, philosophical and psychological references. Desire, obsession, fear and anxiety have been recurring subjects.
