Art Video will also screen share, from dusk to dawn, a video of Ragnar Kjartansson’s performance Bliss, in which a group of opera singers performs the final aria of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro on a loop for 12 hours. The piece was a commission for Performa in 2011, and is being presented in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami and the New World Center.
