Kinlaw's “FALL RISK” at Art in America’s 2026 New Talent Launch Party

At the launch of Art in America’s 2026 New Talent issue, Kinlaw reprised her solo performance piece “FALL RISK,” which she first performed at Art Omi in Upstate New York last summer.

In the first iteration, the artist was hoisted 128 feet up in the air by a crane. Suspended and swinging at that terrifying height, she narrated the story of caring for her disabled mother as her parents slid into poverty, her in-air vocalizations apparently labored. In this variation, she spoke in front of a video of the previous performance.

“FALL RISK” reminds us that there is an inevitability to the crises that come for all our bodies in different ways—and of the harrowing ways medical, social, and economic systems regularly fail us in these moments.
