3 Day Weekend

Oliver Herring

• Salon 94
• 12 E. 94th Street
• Friday, November 20 - Sunday, November 22, times vary

“3 Day Weekend” is both a performance and material for a live video shoot. The Weekend will unfold as a series of interactions built over the course of three days with a group of people who were chosen through an open application process. The actions will be physical, dance related, mostly unrehearsed and therefore unpredictable. Oliver Herring will both “direct” the actions and film the footage.

Oliver Herring was born in Heidelberg, Germany in 1964, and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He received a BFA from the University of Oxford (Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art), Oxford, England, and an MFA from Hunter College, New York. Since 1998, Herring has created stop-motion videos and participatory performances with ‘off-the-street’ strangers. Herring has received grants from Artpace; New York Foundation for the Arts; and the Joan Mitchell Foundation. He has had one-person exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, among others.

Presented by Salon 94.
