Vito Acconci "Archival Works and Fluorescent Furniture"
Albion
This event has ended.
Testifying to Acconci's long history of artistic and architectural innovation, the exhibition includes a selection of his archival works and Acconci Studios fluorescent furniture. In his own words, Acconci's archival works are considerations and reconsiderations of key performance and installation pieces from the late 1960s and 70s. Providing original photographs, notes, drawings, hand-written and typed text drafts, audio scripts and other related materials, they are the equivalent of DVD versions of movies, with
commentary, out-takes, interviews, second thoughts. Of these works, Albion will display Seedbed (1972) and Scenes from This Side of the Camp (1973), both of which document key moments in Acconci s career. While Seedbed became the most legendary work in a tripartite show at Sonnabend Gallery in January 1972 (the other two works, Transference Zone and Supply Room, were also exemplars of Acconci s synthesis of
performance and installation), Scenes from This Side of the Camp began in earnest the installation work that he would pursue for the next seven years.
