Vault installation at Slought Foundation, with self-service monitor featuring documentation from past 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?
Aaron Levy is Executive Director and Curator of Slought Foundation, an arts organization, gallery, and archival resource engaging contemporary life through critical theories about art. Forthcoming in Spring 2003 is "Of the Diagram: The work of Marjorie Welish" and "Cities without citizens," a book on theories of hospitality and the architecture of cities, co-published with the Rosenbach Museum, Philadelphia. As the Museum's 2003 artist-in-residence, he installed an exhibition on statelessness and settlements in early America and contemporary life (July-September 2003).
