Description

Nothing #62: a bluff is the third part of Autumn Knights’s investigation into the Italian concept of “dolce far niente” – the sweetness of nothingness. Knight is alone, responding spontaneously to a space, its features, and its audience. a bluff is a deliberation on our economies of time, attention, and survival, and the creative role within those realms.  It works within the inexhaustible possibilities each audience member brings. 

At once compelling, confronting, perhaps funny, and awkward, this is a masterwork of new performance. Drawing from her training in theater and the psychology of group dynamics, Knight makes performances that reshape our perceptions of race, gender, and authority.

“Autumn leads with humor and curiosities in really incredible ways, …[a]t the end, seems like you have been cared for, even if you have gone through a few layers of complexity.” Ryan Dennis, ARTnews
