NOTHING#122: a bed

Performers: Michelangelo Miccolis and nick von kleist

NOTHING#122: a bed, is the second part of Autumn Knights’s three-part investigation into the Italian concept of “dolce far niente,” the sweetness of nothingness. Knight’s performance explores the possibility of rehearsing loss and takes place between two performers in a shared bed. The performance is inspired by ​​a conversation between the late conceptual artist Félix González-Torres and Hans-Ulrich Obrist. Within the conversation, González-Torres speaks of making art to confront his greatest fear of losing his partner who later died of AIDS-related complications.

Autumn Knight’s performances create space for intimacy between audience and performer. The accompanying two works in this suite of three include NOTHING#122: a bar and NOTHING#122: a bluff.

Part one, NOTHING#122: a bar, is a social experiment transforming the Keith Haring Theatre into a host club in which a multitude of performers undertake the task of provoking desire and attraction within audience members.
