I see doing nothing as a crucial piece of altering the health of the culture I was born into, so I launched this project in 2021 to help me do more of it. I knew that if I didn’t make it an art project, I’d never get around to doing nothing. The project closed for the winter in October of 2021 but re-opens May of 2022. I am currently scheduling a limited number appointments to do nothing together in person in Boston and Provincetown MA (USA) in August and for Boston and Aarhus (DK) in September. Doing Nothing Together remotely is also an option.

If you are unfamiliar with the process of doing nothing, here is video of an earlier iteration of this project, featuring Katrina Neumann and I doing nothing together in 2013. Though this early version of the project was documented, these days Doing Nothing Together experiences are not typically documented unless they occur within the context of an art event like a public art festival or community-engaged residency.

If you would like to make an appointment to do nothing together, please complete the form below. I will respond to your inquiry within a week.
