Center for Curatorial Studies Presents

Speaker Series: Nick Mauss, Find Another Way

Nick Mauss is an artist whose work connects drawing, gesture, and implications of space with writing, performance, and display. His exhibition Transmissions at the Whitney Museum of American Art catalyzed a new poetics of the archive and historiography through highly innovative work with dancers, curators, art historians, conservators, artworks, collectors, librarians, artists, costume makers, and exhibition designers–where the entire infrastructure of making exhibitions was treated through the lens of performance. Mauss has also collaborated with artists including Ken Okiishi, Lorraine O’Grady, Juliana Huxtable, Kim Gordon, and Yvonne Rainer, among others. A volume of his selected essays on art, cinema, dance, and fashion, titled Dispersed Events, was published by After 8 Books, Paris, in 2024. Touching on the simultaneous modes of his practice, Mauss will narrate an artistic method of re-orientation through which counter-histories are proposed.
