Description
Archiving Performance aims to explore, on one hand, the modes bywhich performances archive and are archived and, on the other hand, the
modes by which archives perform and are performed. The first of these twofold directions, then, encompasses questions regarding how performances – particularly, artistic works that fit into the description of ‘performance’ – are recorded/documented/archived, but also how performance can potentially operate as archival (counter)apparatus. The second direction brings us to a reflection on the possibilities and limits of the archive – the whats, the hows, the whens and the wheres of the archive – as well as the ways by which archives can be revised, revolved, re-activated, re-(ad)dressed, re-assembled, re-articulated. Bringing together different perspectives, both of practical and theoretical inclinations, Archiving Performance gathers several artists who will share the processes, methods, hypotheses and/or provisional responses and re-materializations that emerge(d) from their research and explorations. the processes, methods, hypotheses and/or provisional responses and re-materializations that emerge(d) from their research and explorations.
