Sanity TV: Kingston, a live performance by visual artist Autumn Knight

New Local Space is pleased to invite you to a live performance by interdisciplinary artist Autumn Knight on Sunday, December 11, 2022, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Autumn Knight’s ongoing performance series Sanity TV, which began in 2016 during Knight’s residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem, takes the form of an imaginary television talk show in which she plays the role of host. The performance is improvisational in structure: Knight moves through the crowd, giving the audience various prompts, asking questions and allowing the audience to know each other.

This event is free and open to the public. Limited spaces available. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

Autumn Knight is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist working with performance, installation, video and text. Knight’s video and performance work has been presented by institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Kitchen. Knight is the recipient of the 2021-2022 Nancy B. Negley Rome Prize in Visual Arts and a 2022-2023 Guggenheim Fellowship.
