Apr 5th 2019

Please join us as we launch the book “Autumn Knight: In Rehearsal” through a conversation with performance artist Autumn Knight, the book’s editor and curator of Modern and Contemporary art Amy L. Powell, and performance scholar Sandra Ruiz, Assistant Professor of Latina/Latino Studies at Illinois.

After the discussion, Knight will be available to speak with visitors and sign copies of the book.

“Autumn Knight: In Rehearsal” is the first comprehensive publication on the New York-based performance artist Autumn Knight, documenting her first solo museum exhibition at Krannert Art Museum in 2017 through photographs, exhibition documentation, and essays, including an interview with dance artist and choreographer Cynthia Oliver. The book is edited by Amy L. Powell and co-published by Krannert Art Museum and Project Row Houses, Houston.

This is the second event in a two-day artist residency on campus with performance artist Autumn Knight and the start of a national book tour, with launch events at Project Row Houses, Houston (April 16), Independent Curators International, New York City with presenting partner Denniston Hill (May 23), and the Radical Reading Room at Studio Museum in Harlem (May 30).
