Graveyard Shift: Kim Brandt

For the second commission of Graveyard Shift,  Kim Brandt will present a new performance Untitled (Green-Wood), her first work created for—and presented in—an outdoor space. Performers will move throughout Cedar Dell, a circular landscape, as they build and collapse mobile structures, developing a temporal installation that is a rumination on circles, spheres, spirals and loops. Untitled (Green-Wood) explores how site informs the body’s relationship to motion in a continuation of Brandt’s interest in the body’s symbolic and realistic relationship to gravity as well as motion’s persistent drive towards inertia. In seeking new ways of experiencing our relationships to one another, Untitled (Green-Wood) softens the spatial and kinetic relationships between the performer and viewer, stillness and motion, the end and the beginning.

Kim Brandt has presented her work in New York City at The Shed (2019), MoMA/PS1 (2018), SculptureCenter (2017), Abrons Arts Center (2017), Pioneer Works (2016), Artists Space (2015), AVA Gallery (2015), and The Kitchen (2014). Her work has been supported by a NYFA/NYSCA Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Arts (2018), a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award (2017), Mertz Gilmore Foundation (2016–2018), The Jerome Foundation Travel & Study Grant (2016), and Brooklyn Arts Council (2016). She has received residencies at MoMA/PS1 (2017–2018), Djerassi (2018), Movement Research (2016–2018), Bogliasco Foundation (2016), and Issue Project Room (2015). She has performed in the work of Bruce Nauman, Ryan McNamara, and Walter Dundervill, and her writing and interviews have appeared in Artforum, Bomb Magazine, Girls Like Us, and Sound American. Brandt received a BA from Hampshire College and a MFA in Sculpture from Tyler School of Art.
