The visual and performance artist Nikhil Chopra is the 2019–20 Artist in Residence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Beginning Thursday, September 12, he will present Lands, Waters, Skies, a durational performance and installation that will unfold in multiple galleries. Chopra is the first artist in The Met’s history to live within the Museum for any duration of time.

Over the course of nine consecutive days, Chopra will move through The Met, following an itinerary of his own making in order to create a landscape drawing that is monumental in size and incorporates elements of sky, land, and water. He will journey up The Met’s iconic main steps to enter the Great Hall, then move on to The Temple of Dendur in The Sackler Wing; the Medieval Sculpture Hall (Gallery 305); Modern and Contemporary Art and the installation Sol LeWitt: Wall Drawing #370 (Gallery 399); and finally the Robert Lehman Wing.

During this performance, Chopra will inhabit personae akin to a nomadic traveler, using costumes, makeup, wigs, and masks. He will also perform original music along with collected folk songs. From September 12 to 20, he will remain completely within the Museum, immersing himself in the collection and contemplating The Met’s role in preserving objects that span history and cultures as well as notions of displacement and migration. Each day he will remain in the galleries with visitors, while composing his drawing alongside a special dwelling created for this residency, and overnight he will sleep inside the Museum. This will be the longest continuous physical residency within a single building that Chopra has ever undertaken as part of his practice.
