Wandering

Marian Goodman Gallery, Julie Mehretu, and John Jasperse Projects are pleased to present Wandering, a series of live performances at the gallery’s headquarters in New York on 20-23 May 2026. In this work, seven dancers (known individually for their singular performances in companies such as Trisha Brown, Bill T. Jones, Kyle Abraham, and Shen Wei) respond to the music of composers Hahn Rowe and Will Johnson under Jasperse’s direction. They will inhabit six different articulated galleries on three different floors in dialogue with Mehretu’s exhibition, Our Days, Like a Shadow (a non-abiding hauntology), on view at the gallery from 14 April - 6 June 2026. With a building interest in dance, Mehretu invited Jasperse to respond to her work after being introduced to Jasperse’s oeuvre by dramaturg/producer Ariel Osterweis (founder of BODY SHOP Performance Projects).
