Remedy for a Constitutional Crisis was a durational performance where rotating groups of participants read the United States Constitution over a several hours in a public setting. During performances long table discussions were held on topics such as the separation of powers, Federalism, and individual rights and attendees wrote their own amendments or modified existing ones.


The project was conceived in response to the 2016 election and was inspired by the book Madison's Music by Burt Neuborne, Professor of Civil Liberties at NYU Law School. Neuborne states that the First Amendment can be read as poetry, and he challenges the literal or originalist interpretation of the overall document.


Remedy was performed initially at the Abrons Arts Center on September 17, 2017by a rotating group of twenty-seven performers reading in English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Yiddish over eight hours. The project was later performed during the height of the pandemic on October 17, 2020 at Smack Mellon as part of Bound Up Together: On the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment curated by Rachel Gugelberger. It's final performance was on October 29, 2023 at the Old Stone House in Brooklyn, NY as part of Picturing the Constitution curated by Katherine Gressel.
