Subject: New Museum/Performance Archiving Performance

This fall the New Museum considers how different artists' approaches to the concerns of archiving performance might be taken up and addressed within the Museum's own archival practices. Please join us this Saturday, November 16 at 2pm for an artist talk with Yanira Castro, Kathy Couch, Jennifer Monson, Julie Tolentino, and Sara Wookey as part of the multi-platform presentation “Performance Archiving Performance.” A walk thru of the exhibition with the artists immediately follows the panel, and at 5pm join us back in the theater for the New York City premiere of a solo work by Sara Wookey, which considers dance as a disappearing act and questions recurring subjects floating in the public sphere—such as the preservation, ownership, and value of dance itself. Combined ticket price for the whole day is $12.

"Performance Archiving Performance" is organized by Travis Chamberlain, Associate Curator of Performance and Manager of Public Programs.

Spearheaded by the Department of Education and Public Engagement, New Museum R&D (Research and Development) Seasons connect various projects in the galleries, Theater, and Resource Center around a new organizing theme each fall and spring. Programming takes the form of exhibitions, performances, screenings, artist residencies, online publications, an after-school program for teens, and family day activities. Artists engage across many of these initiatives to realize projects in multiple forms. The inaugural fall 2013 R&D Season theme is "Archives."

"XFR STN" (Transfer Station)<http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=130168&N=7084&L=13611&F=H>, the first project of the Archives R&D Season, turned the Fifth Floor Education Gallery into a full-fledged digitization lab (in summer 2013). There, visitors learned about legacies of video art, but also became familiar with evolving techniques for moving image and digital preservation. It was a project with historical relevance that also posed urgent questions for the immediate future of art.

"Performance Archiving Performance"
"Performance Archiving Performance"<http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=130168&N=7084&L=13610&F=H> takes up archiving and its relationship to live art as its focus for the second part of the Archives R&D Season. This special presentation includes an exhibition of performance projects that engage archive as medium (on view in the Fifth Floor Resource Center from November 6, 2013 to January 12, 2014), an accompanying series of residencies, and a lineup of performances and talks with artists, curators, and scholars. Projects include "The People to Come" by a canary torsi, "Live Dancing Archive" by Jennifer Monson, "The Sky Remains the Same" by Julie Tolentino, and "reDANCE," a platform for public engagement founded by Sara Wookey. A discussion on November 16 considers how these different artists' approaches to the concerns of archiving performance might be taken up and addressed within the Museum's own archival practices.

Experimental Study Program
This fall, the New Museum launches a nine-week, application-based Experimental Study Program<http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=130168&N=7084&L=13620&F=H> (ESP) for young people aged fifteen to twenty. The program offers twelve participants the chance to work closely with artists, engage in critical discussions around contemporary art and culture, and contribute directly to the New Museum Education Department's ongoing commitment to social analysis and change.

Collaborating with artists from "Performance Archiving Performance," ESP draws teens into larger conversations that are taking place across New Museum programming. Pursuing an interest in systems as a form of portraiture (initially developed through the archiving performances of "The People to Come"), Yanira Castro of a canary torsi will engage teens in research toward the group's next project in 2015/2016. ESP participants will additionally partner with Sara Wookey to test exercises for teaching certain methodologies of dance-making as part of the artist's ongoing reDANCE platform.

Archives R&D Season Team
The New Museum's Department of Education and Public Engagement is spearheaded by Johanna Burton, Keith Haring Director and Curator of Education and Public Engagement. "Performance Archiving Performance" is organized by Travis Chamberlain, Associate Curator of Performance and Manager of Public Programs. The Experimental Study Program is organized by Jen Song, Associate Director of Education, and Audrey Hope, Educator, G:Class and High School Programs. Jessica Wallen is the New Museum’s Fall 2013 Season Fellow.

Support
