nowhere New York Performances

“Nowhere” arrives in New York as a live event within MoMA Exhibitions, foregrounding the museum itself as both subject and stage. Featuring Sarah Michelson, the work treats movement and attention as curatorial tools, asking how bodies navigate institutional space and how meaning is arranged in real time. Its cultural significance here lies in how it folds performance into an exhibition frame, a recurring New York preoccupation since the city’s postwar museum boom. One clear effect is a quiet pressure on viewers to notice their own role in the work’s assembly.
