NiNi Dongnier: “it’s factual, so vast”, a solo exhibition of performative moving images

The Movement Lab is pleased to present “it’s factual, so vast”, a solo exhibition of performative moving images by choreographer and artist NiNi Dongnier from September 13 to October 4, 2024. The exhibition features formally incisive choreographed film, performance documentary, situational action video, and web-based collaborative performance, selected from the artist’s creations between 2018 and 2023.

Originating from Inner Mongolia and based in New York, Dongnier delves deeply into questions about form, faith, permanence, indigeneity, migration, and life experience through explorations of movement, visual art, garment, and technological interventions. She produces choreographic performance, moving image, and painting. Working through the body and materials that extend the sensory body, including fur, fabric, digital media, oil paint, soft oil pastel, and ink, Dongnier’s expanded choreography records perceptive and intuitive truth to understand the spatiotemporal, geographical, and technological fields. She is in dialogue with multiple influences—her nomadic roots, rigorous classical training in Chinese and Mongolian dance, postmodern dance, and Tibetan Buddhism.

The performers in these works include NiNi Dongnier, Mary McGrath, otay:onii, Nikkie Samereth, and Sherah Shipman. Supported by The Watermill Center and Rhizomic Space.

This exhibition is a part of the Movement Lab Performance and Talk series.
