"Whether you are a big deal or a small deal, there is always some kind of a deal happening."

Trouble (Sam Hillmer and Laura Paris) is a Brooklyn-based art collaborative devoted to creating extreme environments, public art both condoned and illegal, and other kinds of visual/sound art. Their work is about community, spirituality, craft, and beauty. The duo is responsible for the infamous 'You Are Here' Festival, a life-size sculptural maze that gets built bi-annually in New York City, and features three weeks of live music and performance under less than ideal circumstances. Recently the Duo has made work at the White Chapel Gallery and ICA in London, and EMPAC in Troy New York. There are evloving plans to bring the 'You Are Here' Festival back to New York in the spring of 2012, and to produce the same festival in Berlin as well that summer. Stay tuned, this is Trouble's blog.
