On September 10^th, 2022, AMOC* offered a reactive musical performance to celebrate the long-anticipated opening of Jenny Holzer’s DEMENTED WORDS at Hauser & Wirth in New York City. They participated in the exhibition opening under the halo of Holzer’s WTF (2022)—a swinging electronic sign juxtaposing tweets posted by Donald Trump and by Q, leader of the QAnon conspiracy.

On July 12th, 2024, Hauser & Wirth will revisit a filmed version of the piece as part of the ‘Performance on Film’ summer series. The piece will be presented with:

‘IT COULD’VE BEEN ME…IT COULD BE ME’
David Adrian Freeland Jr. in response to Amy Sherald

BOWLS BALLS SOULS HOLES

WORLD PREMIERE: ‘TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU IN THE END’
by EICHTERLING (AMOC* member Julia Eichten & Bret Easterling)
