Private Collection Performance Cycle

← All Programming

This event aims to challenge artists and theorists to explore performativity from personal or other archival material or concept. As the intimacies and familiarities are problematized, creative possibilities are projected crossing disciplines and borders, reinforcing, within the event-festival, the fine line between real life and fiction.

The archive is not created by a subject of knowledge, but rather in the multiple webs between cultural, social, political, economic, subjective and historical practices. The archive also informs about this transformation, and the models that are adopted, once identified, add more meaning. Narrative and fiction intertwine because the plot is dense and resisting to the reading.

At the same time as performance has asserted its radical ephemerality, the demand for documenting and archiving its practices on behalf of performance research and historiography has grown. Private Collection will question, though, the performance’s relationship with the archive. The relationship could include the role of performance in the culture of the archive and the role of the archive in conceptualizations of performance; the future of performance and the archive in the digital age; the role of the document in performance research; the practices of performers’ archives.
