The self-service monitor features the "Robert Whitman: Performances from the 1960s" DVD Documentary (ArtPix, 2003; produced by and courtesy of Julie Martin) as well as video documentation from past Slought Foundation events. Installation coincides with “The Event of the Archive” panel organized by Louis Cabri for the conference Archiving Modernism (University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, July 22-26, 2003)

How has “the event” been staged and theorized in contemporary art and philosophy? What inferences can we draw from work by artists who, beginning in the 1960s, made events constitutive of their art practice? What inferences can we draw from work by philosophers who, in considering the 1960s, make art and life constitutive of an event?
