Visual & Studio Arts Performance Elliot Reed

In conjunction with the exhibition Audience/Camera/Performer, previously on view at The Gallery at the Heimbold Visual Arts Center from November 29, 2021 – February 20, 2022, there will be a campus-wide public program of live solo performances and lectures featuring each of the five artists in the exhibitions.

Elliot Reed will create a new solo performance that expands on their works on view in the exhibition for a one-night public event titled "Brown Light (something about a...)", followed by a brief discussion (moderated by Clifford Owens) with students about their respective performances.

Elliot Reed is an artist and director based in New York and Montpellier, France. He assembles bodies, movement, and narrative within exhibition space, wielding performance as a tool. Their projects span video, dance, performance, and sculpture highlighting the ways seen (and unseen) actors make their mark.

Elliot is a 2019 danceWEB scholar, 2019–20 Artist in Residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem, and recipient of the 2019 Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Grant. Exhibitions include a commission with JACK Quartet (2021), Metro Pictures (2021), MoMA PS1 (2020/21), OCD Chinatown (2021), The Getty Center (2018), Hammer Museum (2016), Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (2018), The Broad (2017), and performances in Tokyo, Osaka, London, Mexico City, Vienna, and Hamburg. Their first institutional solo show ‘Rhythm’ opened September 2021 at Kunsthaus Glarus.
