Since his solo show “The Limit as the Body Approaches” opened at Exit Art, Newark-born artist Rafael Sanchez has been presenting live performances on weekends, examining street fashion, chaos, masculinity, sexuality, love, and music. The performances conclude today with five pieces beginning at 12 noon and continuing through 6:00 pm, including “Can’t Keep Running Away” about avoidance coping; a reenactment of a Bad Brains song; “Habibi Adid,” in which Sanchez will be in a plexiglas case being filled with sand, honey, and ants; an improvised performance with four acquaintances of Sanchez; and “Diamond Sea (Part Two),” set to the Sonic Youth song.
