Art After Dark is a series of seasonal events at the Guggenheim Museum for members and their guests, centered around a special exhibition or program at the museum. Once the general public has left for the day, the museum’s landmark building will fill with the sounds of guests enjoying the exhibitions and a cash bar against the background of an artist- or curator-selected playlist.

Renowned improvisational dressmaker and performer Shinbun Onna (Newspaper Woman, a.k.a. Miyuki Nishizawa) will choose the playlist and perform. Nishizawa is a student of Gutai exhibition artists Shimamoto Shōzō and Yoshihara Jirō. Known for creating large-scale works out of discarded newspaper and a fashion designer by trade, she crafts wearable creations—such as a five-story-tall dress that she has donned while suspended from a crane—that challenge scale and function. Nishizawa has performed in Italy, the Ukraine, and Pennsylvania. She appears thanks to FUSE art infrastructure, Allentown, PA. ART AFTER DARK
