🎉 So excited to start to see our performance in their museum homes!! 📣Join us for the inaugural performance of ‘The Long Note’ by Helen Cammock - Towner Eastbourne’s Performance Exchange acquisition! 🚀 Sat 27th May at 3.30pm! As one of our first museum partners, Towner acquired The Long Note, following Helens performance @katemacgarry in summer 2021, with support from Art Fund. 🤓🤓 Following the performance, @performance_exchange director @roselejeune and @townergallery Head of Collections Sara Cooper @saracooper12 will join @cammockhelen in conversation. The work is based on the artist’s Turner Prize winning film, originally commissioned alongside the 50th anniversary of the first civil rights march in Derry, Northern Ireland, 1968. It explores the motivation for women’s participation in the civil rights movement, their invisibility in the historical narrative of time, and how it impacted on family life.  Part of Towner 100 Celebration - From 10.00am to 10.00pm to celebrate Towner’s 100th birthday! Throughout the day and into the evening, you’ll find workshops, performances, installations and DJs. 📸 Manuela Barczewski courtesy @katemacgarry

🚀 Delighted that The Drip by @amaliapica is being presented over the course of the spring show at The Grundy! @grundyartgallery The live work was acquired from our 2021 program with support from @artfund and is the first of our acquisitions to be shown. 📕As well as our London programme, Performance Exchange has been working with a number of museums around the UK to support collecting live art, and the accompanying acquisitions document for this work (and all the others in our program) gives all the details of how the work exists in the collection… It’s all up on our website! 📕 Performed here by @garthgratrix 💕 #collectingliveart #performance #londongalleries @doni_boyyy @emma.astner @roselejeune

💕 Thanks to @kabye_west @theartnewspaper.official for his in depth piece on collecting performance from a historical and multi-generational perspective with contributions from Performance Exchange contributors @kembrapfahler_ @emalinofficial , #kettylarocca @amandawilkinsongallery and @paulmaheke @galeriesultana @goodman_gallery as well as thinking about the legendary works of #caroleeschneemann @ppowgallery and #anamendieta @galerielelong 🤓 Many different approaches and reasons for working with live practice - social, political, economic - that of course one size doesn’t fit all but incredibly important to grapple with how such work is archived and fits into art history as well as the art market. Also - for the record - though not all of @paulmaheke work can be acquired, his powerful “Taboo Durag” which is mentioned in the article was acquired from our 2021 program by De Montfort University collection. 💕💕

Interested in the potential for collecting performance… ? Of course! Our director @roselejeune and founding gallery @vitrinegallery were interviewed by @chloelashby for the new collecting platform @criticaledge.art … it’s a subscription platform but ask nicely and you never know! 🤓

More images from last months programme… 🤩 The truly fantastic NATIVITY, 2022, by Rosa-Johan Uddoh, at Workplace, performed by Rosa-Johan Uddoh with Adeola Yemitan and Ebunoluwa Sodipo. NATIVITY charts one of the most frequent and historic representations of a Black character by White people since the 15th Century — that of the character ‘Balthazar’ — the ‘African King’ who, according to Christian tradition, visited the baby Jesus at his birth. Balthazar was a vital part of one of the most popular motifs in Western art history: the Nativity, and always the best dressed. You might recognise him today from Christmas cards and school Nativity plays still seemingly mandatory part of UK state school curriculum. Each chapter of Uddoh’s text is inspired by the artist’s archival research into Black presences in Europe, as well as personal experiences of being asked to perform ‘blackness’ in both theatrical and everyday settings for a white gaze. This is a performance about how performance produces identity. 📸 @damian_griffiths_ @rosa_johan @_workplace_ @adeola.yemitan @epastry @roselejeune #collectingperformance #performanceexchange #londongalleriesandmuseums #londongallery #collectingliveart
