Choreographer Sarah Michelson premieres a new work on the Museum’s fourth floor, where she previously presented Devotion Study #1—The American Dancer, her Bucksbaum Award–winning piece from the 2012 Whitney Biennial. For this piece, the culmination of her Devotion series, Michelson continues to explore the dialogue between the form and history of dance through intense physicality, rigorous formal structures, and precise staging. The new work, 4, will be presented in an eight-performance engagement.

This exhibition is organized by Jay Sanders, Curator and Curator of Performance.
