Record & Ghost, co-curated by Eames Armstrong (+ Esther Neff) ===this weekend=== The writing body and the written body, the moment and the memory Record & Ghost takes INCIDENT Magazine as a framework for two nights of performances, addressing the role of document, archive, constructions, and remnants in performance itself and long after the fact. Performances deal individually with the unfixed relationship of now and later, for every subjectivity a new field of questions. Writing about performance can be a reproduction of an original, writing about performance can be a creative performative act, writing about performance can be a practice of being present, writing about performance can be–Record & Ghost. Considering ghost as that which is present but perhaps implicit or ignored–the camera or the history, the ache or the absence. The ghost lingers, it fades or multiplies. The ghosts of those present when we were not, my ghost here when you are gone. Ghost the spectre and ghost the spectator. Ghost, coupled with the double meaning of record. Record as noun and record as verb, always active. Each performance we see is transcribed in our memories, whether forgotten or intensely present. As witnesses, we are recording, we are records. When we transcribe performance, translate it to text, what happens? grace-exhibition-space
