Sam Kissajukian Making contemporary art is funnier than being a comedian. I perform comedy at night and make art by day, but the line is blurred.

Since Sam Kissajukian is doing his show 300 Paintings this week we took him to for a sneak peek at their American wing collection before the museum’s official reopening tonight.

So happy for the acknowledgment. My run at has been a dream. Such a great team here to support the vision of the show. For a 4 week run, it’s the biggest theatre I’ve played. It’s surreal to perform to full houses each night in a city I’ve not been to before. Boston really shows up.

Exciting news. My season at American Repertory Theater is being extended for an extra 5 shows. So, now playing Oct 1 - 25th. We’re doing something pretty unique with how I exhibit the paintings. To support this, I’ve decided to ship my Edinburgh exhibition “Paintings to Sleep on” to the USA and combine it with my previous exhibition “Paintings of Modernia” for the A.R.T. show.

I’m adding one extra Edinburgh show. 3.05pm, Monday 25th August, Summerhall, Main hall. There’s 150 seats so if you know...

I’m adding one extra Edinburgh show. 3.05pm, Monday 25th August, Summerhall, Main hall. There’s 150 seats so if you know anyone who missed out, send them this relief package. See you there!

I’m starting to quite enjoy doing interviews. .scotsman

Tour links in bio. I’m bringing a new exhibition to Edinburgh that I put together over the last few months. The live show has come a long way since Edinburgh last year and it’ll be great doing it on the big screen in the main hall. So, it’ll be fun even if you saw last year’s show.
Super excited about McCarter Theatre and A.R.T.
More US dates to come.
Feel free to comment if you’re coming along and I’ll keep an eye out to say hi after the show or I’ll be around during the day at the Summerhall exhibition.

I can announce one of the US shows  More to come!

There’s more. I can’t believe this tbh. The ceremonies are over the next month. I’ve asked the people attending on my behalf to wear a tiny hat.

I’ve been blocking out external reality for the last month while I put together a new exhibition in the cake factory. So, apologies if I’ve not gotten back to anyone that reached out. The last few years has involved so much touring and talking that I’ve needed some time to remove myself, process everything silently and paint. It’s been really nice to have a month alone in the studio again to dedicate to experimenting with new concepts and visual directions. There’s a lot of new work, here’s a sample of one of the series which I just bizarrely was adamant I had to paint exclusively with my left hand.

It’s probably time to venture out again, so fortunately I’ve been reminded of the outside world when I checked my email and saw that 300 Paintings has been nominated for Outer Critics Circle award for “Outstanding Solo performance” that includes both off broadway & on broadway shows, which is exciting.

We are just finalising US/UK tour dates for June - Nov 2025 which will be announced shortly.

The last slide is a painting of a clock tower in a certain city with the time my show is on. See if you can guess when and where…

I’m so happy Helen Shaw enjoyed the show enough to write about it.
