Exhibitions

Following the conclusion of May’s Sunday Performance Series, WORKS ON PAPER transitions into an exhibition showcasing the accumulated artefacts and video records from each artist’s performance. In dialogue with the videography, these object-based remains take on an unexpectedly performative life. As the Performance Series progressed, the artists integrated the artefacts from the previous week’s performances into their own work, effectively reiterating the series itself through the viewpoint of process-based performance. By generating a cumulative, site-specific series through the appropriation of the remains of one another’s performances, the artists in WORKS ON PAPER challenge and reinvigorate the notion of the stationary, disengaged exhibition. What, they ask, is the life of performance after the event concludes?
