For “Proposed and Delivered,” Versoza proposed Open, his scheme to “force open” the door separating the Cincinnati Art Museum from the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Timothy Rub, the then museum director, granted Joey his way, if only on opening day. Confounding the many museum guards who had never even noticed the door before, passersby slipped instantaneously between the adjacent institutions, rather than walk around the buildings as they had for decades. For The Ballad of Toma (2003/2011), Versoza stumbled across an online text written by an anonymous blogger named Toma the Great Explorer. This text became the source material for Dana Ward’s lyrics and musical composition, which Cincinnati pianist Bob Kellison transcribed into sheet music.
