IN PROXIMITY: Ceremonies Out of the Air
Originally commissioned for the exhibition Bruce Nauman: Contrapposto Studies at Palazzo Grassi - Punta della Dogana In Proximity makes its US premiere at MoMA PS1 this January. Developed from Ralph Lemon’s research into movement, text, and sound in non-dance spaces, the allusive performance extends his dialogue/argument with the performative sculptural practice of artist Bruce Nauman. The work features an original score and sound design realized in collaboration with Philip White. At MoMA PS1, In Proximity includes a prelude by the Brass Band, who virtuosically abstract music from the New Orleans jazz tradition.
The Ceremonies Out of the Air performance program includes several New York City and world premieres of Lemon’s newest works, which anchor the exhibition’s explorations of generosity, mortality, devotion, Blackness, and joy. All performances are free with RSVP. Tickets for In Proximity will be released in early January. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified.
The performance runs approximately 45 minutes.
