Watch Robert Whitman's "American Moon"

Watch a full performance of artist Robert Whitman's seminal work American Moon, originally staged in 1960 as part of the Happenings movement on New York's Lower East Side. Presented by Pace Live at our New York gallery in 2023, this reimagined performance reflects the limber, rigorous, and timeless nature of Whitman's work. As with the performance's debut over 60 years ago, Pace Live's re-staging of American Moon features performers and audience members amid an immersive environment of scaffolding, fabric, craft paper, burlap, and varied props.
