MoMA restages 1995 Japanese performance installation alongside dual Bas Jan Ader surveys and new performance works

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has re-staged a 1995 installation by a late Japanese innovator known for performance, technology, and collaborative work. Concurrently, twin surveys of Bas Jan Ader's brief but influential career are being presented in both New York and London. A performance, installation, and sound artist is creating collective experiences through their work. A dancer and performance artist explores themes of mortality and geological time in a new version of a well-known piece. An installation incorporating sympathetic magic has been introduced to a museum setting. A duo's retrospective merges humor with hermeneutics. A semi-improvisational dance series has been created for foundational figures of the Digital Era. In Baltimore, a gallery performance examines government intrusion and public reaction. New work by a perfumer and sculptor engages the senses of smell, sight, and touch to evoke absent bodies.
