Performances on Thursday, August 29

David Zwirner is pleased to announce the beginning of a new residency program for dance artists developed by choreographer, dancer, and artist Sarah Michelson. To inaugurate the program, choreographer Jonathan González will be in residence at David Zwirner’s 519 West 19th Street space for the month of August. His residency will conclude with performances at 5pm and 7pm on Thursday, August 29, which are free and open to the public.

Jonathan González works at the intersections of performance and dance, sound, video art, and dance for camera, while also writing criticism, poetry, and prose. González’s practice engages with how the historical passage of geographies and communities are entangled. His pedagogical interventions take form through curated platforms for teaching, lectures, and publications. He is currently working on a project at the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Spectral Dances, 2024), and his first book, Ways to Move: Black Insurgent Grammars, is to be published in 2025. Concurrent with the announcement of her representation by David Zwirner last summer, Sarah Michelson developed a new invitational residency program for dance artists in partnership with the gallery. This annual monthlong program provides space for dancers to work—and if they desire, perform—within the gallery space each year.

Beginning August 1, choreographer Jonathan González will be the first artist in residence at David Zwirner as part of an inaugural residency program for dancers at the gallery.

For the month of August, González will be in residence at David Zwirner’s 519 W 19th Street space. His residency will conclude with performances on Thursday, August 29th, which are free and open to the public.
