On a early fall evening, a packed audience at the Kitchen theater in Chelsea’s art district sat quietly as the visual artist and gallerist Emily Sundblad took the stage. Dressed in a red and black Proenza Schouler gown with suggestive cutouts and a dramatic slit, her long strawberry-blond hair cascading over one shoulder, she looked like a caricature of a lounge singer. Behind her were fellow friends and colleagues, notably Juliana Huxtable, a performance artist, writer, and DJ, as well as Ken Okiishi, whose multimedia works hang in major museums.
