A book on the photography of Raymond, who documented performance art in Boston for thirty years until his untimely death in 2012.
Exhibition / project programme. Tempting Failure, 17-21 July 2018.
Traces the many ways in which museums have approached performance works from the 1960s onwards, considering the unique challenges of documenting live events.
The first book to provide a collection of key writings about the process of documenting performance, focused not on questions of liveness or the artistic qualities of documents, but rather on the professional approaches to recovering, preserving and disseminating knowledge of live performance.
An international collection offering glimpses into the intimate relations inherent in finding, remembering (or imagining), and creating an archive.
