Autumn Knight Autumn Knight
Performance Space New York
May 5 – 12
Performance artist, Knight will present a suite of performances for three weekends described as “an ongoing investigation into the sweetness of nothingness” in NOTHING#122: a bed, according to the release. Part one is a social experiment, transforming the Keith Haring Theatre into a host club. Part two is a choreographic and installation-based work that pares down and formalizes Nothing #122’s approach to intimacy using the bed as a site for all things beginning and ending—where everything and nothing happens. Part three sees Knight alone onstage, responding improvisationally to the space, its architecture, its audience, and more. Find out more here
