installation of fantasy, excess, and dystopia; a sonic environment that blurred the boundaries between artist and audience created by the xx; an
immersive Macbeth set in a Scottish heath and henge by Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh; tears become... streams become..., a genre - defying collaboration between artist Douglas Gordon and pianist Hélène Grimaud, which flooded the Armory's drill hall with an
installation of water, light, and music; and HABEAS CORPUS, a performance and
installation by Laurie Anderson based on the story of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee that
