Publicatie onderzoekt behoud en beheer van museale performance werken vanaf de jaren 60. Bevat tevens interviews met C. Berndes en A. Fletcher van het Van Abbemuseum inzake beheer van performance werken. - Histories of Performance Documentation traces the many ways in which museums have approached performance works from the 1960s onwards. Considering the unique challenges of documenting live events including hybrid and interactive arts, games, virtual and mixed reality performance, this collection investigates the burgeoning role of the performative in museum displays, and examines a number of interdisciplinary documentation practices which have influenced the field of performance documentation. It brings together interviews and essays by leading curators, conservators, artists and scholars from institutions. Developing from recent approaches which argue that discussions of performance should not focus purely on the live event, and that documentation should not be read solely as a process of retrospection, these chapters build a radical new framework for thinking about the relationship between performance and its documentation - and how documentation might shape ideas of what constitutes performance in the first place.
