The Brown Bear: Neither Particular nor General (2010) During a two-month residency at Recess Activities, A.K.

They offered free haircuts inside an installation that included an archive of LGBTQ fashion and hair esthetics. Burns and Hubbard organized weekly art salons with live events inviting fellow artist, MPA, Sergie Trecherpin, Corrine Fitzpatrick, to perform works that privileged senses other than the visual. The Poetry Parade... (2012 - ) The Poetry Parade is a series of live events that are an ongoing collaboration between Burns and Hubbard. As a feminist intervention into permanent collections, the artists gather a group of readers, pair texts with works, then read aloud, resulting in a recontextualization of their historical narrative. The Poetry Parade has taken place at the Museum of Modern Art (2012), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2015), and the Whitney Museum of American Art (2015). Collaborative publications (2010-2013) Burns co-founded and edited Randy Magazine with Sophie Mörner, an annual trans-feminist arts magazine from 2010-2013.
