After, 2009

Neon, wallpaper

This work was part of the performances K.62 and K.85 by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Ari Benjamin Meyers, staged at the Abrons Art Center in New York, at the Hebbel am Ufer Theater in Berlin and at Kaaitheater, Brussels. It plays on the idea of an “after party.” It also references the Martin Scorsese film After Hours (1985). The performance staged by Gonzalez-Foerster and Benjamin Meyers also took the events of this film as a reference point, leading the viewers on a surreal obstacle course through Soho, before gathering the group under Gonzalez-Foerster’s neon sign.
