SARA’S is thrilled to participate in The Salon, Booth 0.9, with a solo presentation, Can’t Be A Candle, by multi-disciplinary artist Nick Klein.

Can’t Be A Candle is comprised of photographic prints, paintings, photocopies, and audio pulled from Klein’s work focusing on “ecstatic obligatory production.” Whether in the isolation of a hermetic studio practice or the social engagement of a global touring regimen, Klein focuses on blending and obscuring disciplines to coalesce new formal outcomes, seeding a productive antagonism throughout his wide-ranging creative output.

On Sunday, October 20, will be present Can’t Be A Candle: Action One, a performance to accompany Klein’s solo presentation. Since 2008, Klein’s work has been rooted in the elementally creative acts of performing sound and sound-adjacent gestures. Over time, his interest in blending disciplines have allowed the edges of this practice to soften and encompass a wider range of performance contexts—which he explores in staged settings of varying scale and intimacy: theaters, basements, museums, clubs.

Nick Klein (b. 1987, West Palm Beach, FL) has exhibited and performed at galleries and institutions internationally, including The Amant Foundation (USA), SARA’S (USA), MOMA PS1 (USA), De La Cruz Collection (USA), Volksbühne (DE),  Empty Gallery (HK),  Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE), Seendosi (SK), Cafe Sismo (CDMX), Cafe Oto (UK), Skanu Mezs (LV), Folkteatern (SE), Burning Fleshtival (USA), Herrensauna (DE), and Summer Scum (USA).
