We look forward to welcoming you to the following events in our programming season. All events are free and open to the public upon registration.

On the occasion of the exhibition <a href="https://www.hauserwirth.com/hauser-wirth-exhibitions/jason-rhoades-drive-ii/" title="https://www.hauserwirth.com/hauser-wirth-exhibitions/jason-rhoades-drive-ii/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">‘Jason Rhoades. DRIVE II’</a>, curated by Ingrid Schaffner at Hauser &amp; Wirth 22nd Street, we're thrilled to present a screening of Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste’s ‘…And Drive (Far Away) With Me’ in the amphitheater at our 18th Street location in Chelsea. Through forward-facing dashcam footage, this 8-hour video excerpt, captured by Toussaint-Baptiste during a 48-hour drive across the American South in a decommissioned Ford Police Interceptor/Crown Vic, presents a full-frontal view of the durational performance ‘...And Drive (Far Away)’. Without the visual presence of the driver, the resulting footage is an immersion into the road trip that is at once freeing and isolating, bucolic and treacherous––an exercise in depersonalization and anonymity via the vast expanse of the highway that at times meets its limits. This program follows Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste's live performance of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNBEWg03d_Q" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNBEWg03d_Q" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">‘Unmarked Car (S.L.A.B.), pt. 2’</a> at Hauser &amp; Wirth Downtown Los Angeles for 'Jason Rhoades.

His work considers notions of errant relations that thrive across subjectivities. Toussaint-Baptiste was a 2017 artist in residence at Issue Project Room and received a Bessie Award in 2018 for Outstanding Music Composition and Sound Design. He is represented by Martos Gallery (New York). He has presented visual and performance work at MoMA PS1 (New York); Performance Space New York; the Brooklyn Museum; the Kitchen (New York); Issue Project Room (New York); the Studio Museum in Harlem; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Toussaint-Baptiste is a founding member of the performance collective Wildcat! and frequently collaborates with performers and visual artists, including Will Rawls, Yanira Castro/a canary torsi, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Jaamil Olawale Kosoko, and André M. Zachery. Toussaint-Baptiste holds an MFA from Brooklyn College’s Performance and Interactive Media Arts program. About ‘…And Drive (Far Away) With Me’ ‘...And Drive (Far Away)’, a mixed media sound installation and durational performance, approaches a cross-country drive along I-10 and I-95, from Tucson, Arizona to Brooklyn, NY*, through the lens of Gulf South sonority. This phenomenon is deeply tied to the automobile, and generates a context through which history, marronage, sonic pageantry, and physical sensation may all collapse upon one another. Making use of custom car audio and window tint, the performance and installation of sonorous non-instruments looks at—specifically—a decommissioned Ford Police Interceptor/Crown Victoria simultaneously as a sociocultural-audiovisual marker key to Gulf South sonic ecologies; and as a space of potential self-abstraction, fraught with risk and ripe with potential for withholding, disappearance, or even flight, while drawing attention to the oft-dangerous labor required of migration. The performance included stops and activations in Marfa, TX; New Orleans, LA; Atlanta, GA; and Richmond, VA. Image: '…And Drive (Far Away) With Me’ (film still) courtesy of Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste
