Colin Gee: 1st Draft
Colin Gee is the first Whitney Live artist in residence in the Whitmney Museum of Fine Art, inaugurating performance in a traditionally visual art museum. He has created work  for film, opera and performance and is a former principle Clown for Cirque du Soleil.

Gee's education as an actor includes training at the Dell’ Arte School of Physical Theater  and the Jacques Lecoq School in Paris. 

Selected quotes:

But in January the museum’s adjunct curator for performing arts, Limor Tomer, selected him as the inaugural Whitney Live artist in residence, demonstrating a new institutional commitment to performance at a time when the art world has once again become enamored of live art and ephemera.

Mr. Gee’s confidence is certainly earned. His eclectic background includes an education at the École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris; time as a director and actor with the Flying Machine, a physical theater troupe; and a stint as a Cirque du Soleil principal clown from 2001 to 2004, which required 10 performances a week in front of audiences as large as 2,500.

Performances: Objective suspense 

“Objective Suspense,” the brief impromptu performances he gave during the museum’s recent Alexander Calder exhibition, creating magical aerial acts using the play of his hands and delicate wire sculptures.
