Sarah Michelson: nowhere
15 Sep 2026 — 11 Oct 2026 at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
· New York
What is dance? Across a career spanning 30 years, Sarah Michelson has tirelessly explored this question. Born in Manchester, England, and based in New York, since the 1990s Michelson has created performances that examine the historical, physical, and intellectual nature of dance.
Known for her meticulous choreography, Michelson continuously reimagines the boundaries of contemporary performance; her recent work has incorporated painting, video projection, and sound. "The place where the work will happen is pretty much always my starting point," says Michelson, who began creating nowhere during a Studio Residency at MoMA in 2024.
In this exhibition, she performs alongside a rotating cast of dancers. Treating the Donald and Catherine Marron Family Atrium as her daily workspace, Michelson integrates her dancing, thinking, and being into the life of the Museum. nowhere is a daily dance, on view in the Marron Family Atrium Saturday through Thursday throughout the course of the exhibition.
