In Bushwick, the gallery will present eight earlier films by van der Werve: Nummer twee (2003), Nummer drie (2004), Nummer vier (2005), Nummer zes (2006), Nummer zeven (2006), Nummer acht (2007), Nummer negen (2008), and Nummer twaalf (2009).

The run begins at Luhring Augustine Bushwick (25 Knickerbocker Ave, Brooklyn) and ends at the Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, NY, the location of Rachmaninoff’s burial place.

On Sunday, October 7 at 4 pm van der Werve will perform his full requiem for Nummer veertien, home in a one-time performance with the American Symphony Orchestra at the MoMA PS1 Performance Dome, as part of the museum’s “Sunday Sessions” series.
