Agathe Snow (French pronunciation: [aɡatə snɔ:]; née Aparru)[1] (born 1976) is an artist based in Long Island, New York.
[2] She works in a variety of media and has collaborated with artists including Alex Arcadia, Rita Ackermann, Michael Portnoy, and Emily Sunblad.
[5] One of her best known endeavours was No Need To Worry, The Apocalypse Has Already Happened… at James Fuentes Gallery in 2007, in which Snow took the starting point of a recently flooded Manhattan[6] as a conceit on which to base a five-week performance and gallery-wide installation, including a sculpture of the belly of a beached whale.
[1] In 2005, she staged a 24-hour dance party two blocks away from "Ground Zero" in Manhattan which brought together a generation-defining group of artists from New York's downtown creative scene including Dash Snow, Ryan McGinley, Lizzi Bougatsos , and Dan Colen, among many others.
"[8] In 2015, on the tenth anniversary of the original event, Snow held a 24-hour dance party at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum titled Stamina that featured never-before-seen video footage from the 2005 party that she had edited into a 24-hour-long video, which premiered in real-time over the duration of Stamina.
