A Painting-Dance Duet Reimagines Space at Marian Goodman

Mehretu teams with choreographer John Jasperse for Wandering, a performance weaving dancers through Mehretu’s translucent TRANSpaintings at Marian Goodman Gallery to make painting and movement influence each other. The project aims to treat both media as interdependent, creating a space where abstraction and representation mingle, using the gallery’s architecture and layered bodies to offer a living, evolving experience rather than a backdrop. Soundscapes on different floors deepen the immersive effect as viewers navigate the intimate, multi-level installation.
