At the same time, it grapples with a vital question for art and performance studies: How do archives perform? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e More than a discrete showing of a single artist's work, the exhibition, including its new staging in book form, is a large-scale research experiment in performance curation that investigates how art institutions can address the embodied and communal nature of performance art in their practices of archiving and museological display. In \u003ci\u003eJess Dobkin's Wetrospective\u003c\/i\u003e, copublished with the Art Gallery of York University, renowned international performance scholars and artists dive into this exploration alongside exhibition curator Emelie Chhangur, performance theorist and dramaturg Laura Levin, and Dobkin herself. These contributions are visually aided by a riot of full-color photographs, providing unparalleled access to Dobkin's celebrated artistic productions from the last thirty years. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Intellect (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45036729335959,"sku":"9781835950449","price":3343.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781835950449.webp?v=1769213831","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jess-dobkins-wetrospective-constellating-performance-archives-9781835950449","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
