QUERI: Providence Pop Up
Reception Thursday Oct 22, 6pm-8pm
Friday Oct 21–Sunday Oct 23, 10am–4pm
Dye House, Providence, RI
QUERI— Rhode Island’s largest archive of decision-paralysis relief tools —is coming to Providence’s Dye House for four-day interactive pop up starting Thursday, October 20th, 2023 from 6–8 PM.
The QUERI archive contains nearly 100 objects, most of which are functional. While aesthetically adjacent to the tools of fortune-telling, paranormal studies, lie detection, and astrology, QUERI’s objects— with some exception —tend to offer concrete answers. From double-sided coins and marked stones that call back to the earliest days of cleromancy, to mid-century liquid filled dice agitators, the archive is filled with objects that generate as many questions as they answer.
Rhody residents suffering from decision-paralysis: come get the relief you deserve! In addition to rare display-only objects, we’ll have a variety of stations set up for dice rolling, coin flipping, wheel spinning, and more. Beverages will be available at the opening for those seeking relief by other means.
Prospective attendees, please note that all answers should be viewed as fun, outside-the-box advice and are in no way intended to guide specific behaviors. QUERI is not responsible for any harm or anguish caused by implementing QUERI-generated advice in any individual’s life or organization’s operation. QUERI is, however, fully responsible for all positive outcomes.
To RSVP or schedule time to view the display, please visit the QUERI website. Friends of QUERI can also book a stay at Dye House with a friendly rate; just use the offer code DICEROLL.
