The Museum of Modern Art
presents Performing Histories: Live Artworks Examining the Past, a performance
series held in conjunction with two exhibitions at MoMA: Tokyo 1950-1970: A New Avant-Garde (November
18, 2012, to February 25, 2013) and Inventing Abstraction, 1910-1925 (December
23, 2012, to April 15, 2013). These performances constitute "live” responses to
the contexts of the two exhibitions, highlighting various artistic methods of
engaging with history through a wide range of forms–dance, music, theater, and
performance art. The series includes works by Eiko & Koma, Ei Arakawa,
Trajal Harrell, contact Gonzo, Kelly Nipper with Japanther, and Fabian Barba. Performing
Histories: Live Artworks Examining the Past emphasizes the travel and
translation of artistic ideas, cultural forms, and historical motivations. The
included works will trace pathways from early to mid-20th century, from
European modernism to the Japanese post-war avant-garde, as well as through
MoMA’s own institutional history. The swathe of performances in this series share
an interest in holding the past and the present in close
proximity–reinterpreting established narratives, reconfiguring contemporary
understanding, and imagining different futures. The series
is organized by Sabine Breitwieser, Chief Curator, and Ana Janevski, Associate
Curator, with Leora Morinis, Curatorial Assistant, and Jill Samuels,
Performance Producer, Department of Media and Performance Art. Performances
related to Tokyo
1955-1970 are co-organized by Doryun Chong, Associate Curator, Department of
Painting and Sculpture. Performances related to Inventing Abstraction,
1910-1925, are co-organized by Leah Dickerman, Curator, Department of Painting
and Sculpture. Press/image
