Sean Kelly is delighted to present Generator, a new installation by Marina Abramoviæ, whom the gallery has represented since 1991. This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York since her major retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in 2010, and her first performative work in a gallery since The House with the Ocean View at Sean Kelly in 2002. The preview will take place on Thursday, October 23 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The artist will be present.

In Generator, Abramoviæ will focus on “nothingness.” She will transform the main gallery into a space of sensory deprivation, an opportunity for forced introspection. In order to create an uninterrupted, quiet, physical and mental state, visitors will be required to leave their cellphones, watches, bags, etc. in a locker before entering the gallery. Assisted by trained facilitators, visitors will don noise canceling headphones and blindfolds. A maximum of sixty-eight people will be allowed in at a time.
