Man of My Dreams
Nate Hill, Nathaniel Sullivan & Brian Droitcour
An evening of performance for the closing of Ann Hirsch's Muffy
June 27th - 7pm
For Man of My Dreams, Hirsch presents three male performers - Nate Hill, Nathaniel Sullivan and Brian Droitcour - who are further exploring the link between sexuality, surrealism and gender. Combining raw emotion, masculinity, vulnerability and a fish, their performances look at what it means to be a man in today's dating scene, the art world, and within the realm of the absurd.
Nate Hill was born in Berkeley, California, raised in California, Nebraska,Tennessee, and Florida and is the son of two doctors. He makessocially engaged work using public space – both online and offline – supporting himself with a separate career. Hill puts art anywhere he can where validation and permission are not given or even required. Opting to present work outside of the traditional art-world context, he engages with what he describes as the “non-gallery-going” population. Some of Hill's most well-known works have been Death Bear, White Power Milk, and Trophy Scarves. Hill has been featured in numerous publications including Vice, Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, Wall Street Journal, BlackBook, and The New York Times. He currently lives and works in New York City.
Nathaniel Sullivan is a video and performance artist who has lectured on subjects as varied as former French president Francois Mitterrand's last meal, basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain's sex life, and the love letters of super-banker Jamie Dimon. On occasion, he takes this practice to the streets and has led a guided walking tour of an abandoned housing project re-imagined as a Richard Serra sculpture, conducted a self help seminar on desire from the back of a limousine and performed for one person at at Brooklyn Nets game. He is currently working on a financial literacy course for a group of cows who live on a farm upstate.
Brian Droitcour is an art critic, elite yelp user and an editor at the New Inquiry. He lives in New York.
