Jeffrey Deitch’s re-opening of his Wooster Street Gallery in New York City later this week (8 – 10 September 2016) will involve three evenings of performance by artist Eddie Peake.

Deitch Projects was last housed at this address in 2011, when Deitch then upped and left to become director of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), and the NYC community based art institution, Swiss Institute, moved in.

Peake has performed at this venue before, during November 2013 with his commission for ‘Performa’, hosted by the the then tenants, Swiss Institute.

Peake’s new work, ‘builds on a series of performances created over the last few years for numerous galleries and spaces. Articulating the complex strains of intimacy that develop between people, [he] has developed a gallery-based performance in which the relationships between an ensemble are made palpable through a series of choreographed gestures and interactions.’

It sounds enticing!  If you want to investigate this artist’s work further, then don’t forget our recent, popular Eddie Peake title, The Forever Loop, published by Ridinghouse and the Barbican Art Gallery, London, to go alongside his Curve show (Barbican, London, Oct 2015 – Jan 2016).
