NYAB Event - Ed Atkins “Performance Capture”

Ed Atkins “Performance Capture”

The Kitchen

This event has ended.

Under the equivocal rubric “Performance Capture,” Ed Atkins presents an expansive new work explicitly concerned with how contemporary technologies of representation mediate our lives – to say nothing of our own willingness to be captured and rendered. Corralling live bodies, animated surrogates, and departed performances, the gallery will act as both screening room and venue for performances and public programs. By ceding control to other authors in order to create multiple iterations of one work, the exhibition will ultimately act, according to Atkins, as “a document whose data is yet to be uncovered, let alone indexed.”

Curated by Tim Griffin with Lumi Tan as part of “From Minimalism into Algorithm.”
