More about the book

This publication stems from two exhibitions at the Migros Museum in Zurich, focusing on documenting time-based works. It explores the relationship between fixed-time disciplines, like sculpture and installation, and time-based art forms, such as dance and performance. The emphasis is on the intersections created by these overlaps and the resulting art. Raphael Gygax suggests that performances, their venues, and involved objects can be interpreted as rituals, while Heike Munder examines the body as a potential archive of history, with movement processes inscribed into collective memory. Verena Kuni discusses temporality and transience in art, particularly concerning sound and music. Philip Auslander argues that the materials documenting performances can also be seen as performative. Babette Mangolte, drawing from her experience with the Judson Dance Theater, analyzes the connection between movement and speed in documenting performance processes. Kristina Köhler investigates filmic strategies within the performative, exploring their dynamics between performance, event, and representation. This anthology is published in collaboration with the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich.
