Less Is Morbid New York Performances

Now at MoMA Exhibitions, *Less Is Morbid* unfolds as a live event situated inside the museum’s exhibition context rather than on a conventional stage. Featured performer Arthur Jafa brings a sensibility shaped by moving-image practice, where rhythm, accumulation, and the politics of looking do the narrative work. The piece reads as an inquiry into how images and bodies carry memory in public institutions. Its restraint feels purposeful, pressing viewers to notice what gets edited out as much as what remains.
