"Midnight Swim" by Marni Kotak

“Midnight Swim” (2022) is a new installation/performance for Rosekill in which Kotak invites the audience to take a midnight swim with her in the lake at Rosekill at midnight, surrounded by an installation she creates for the event. The piece continues her ongoing practice of presenting everyday life as art through “Found Performances”–or works based on her daily activities, experiences or accomplishments, such as giving birth (The Birth of Baby X, 2011), attending her grandfather’s funeral (My Grandfather’s Funeral, 2009), constructing a refuge to convalesce after a fire in her home (Treehouse, 2017), and in this instance, taking a midnight swim with loved ones and audience members who will become fast friends. “Found Performances” are time-based performances found from real daily life in the sense of Duchamp’s readymade found object sculptures.
