Episode 160: Secret Mall Apartment

This episode of Welcome To The Party Pal dissects Secret Mall Apartment, the documentary film directed by filmmaker Jeremy Workman that recounts the story of a group of young Rhode Islanders who built a secret apartment inside the Providence Place shopping mall in Providence in 2003, living there for four years until getting caught and charged with trespassing in 2007. At the center of the film is Michael Townsend, the artist whose work sparked the story — and this episode features an interview with Michael that delves into his motivations, his enduring and inspiring work with Tape Art, the blended line between art and everyday living that defines Michael’s life, and so much more.
