Performance: A.I.M by Kyle Abraham

Join Gagosian for a special performance by choreographer and dancer Kyle Abraham and members of his company, A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, inside Social Abstraction at Gagosian, Beverly Hills. The intergenerational assembly of Black artists in the exhibition—which includes Abraham—moves between and beyond the poles of abstraction and figuration to explore the intersections of nonrepresentational form and social consciousness. Galvanized by Black culture and history, Abraham’s provocative body of work draws on his engagement with the visual arts. The evening will feature performances by Abraham, William Okajima, Donovan Reed, and Gianna Theodore of works chosen in response to the exhibition’s themes, including Show Pony, “Ne Me Quitte Pas” and “Little Girl Blue” from If We Were a Love Song, and an early preview of Abraham’s newest piece, 2x4 (working title).
