The Showroom, London
Performative talks with: Sarah Pierce, Paul Buck, Melissa Gronlund
For Again, A Time Machine at The Showroom, words and archives are discharged into the present, with the start of The Artist Talks a year long project by Sarah Pierce, and by a monthly series of performative talks and events. Sarah Pierce's work considers the archive as historical material and collective input, a source of potential slippage and dissent - evidence of how we speak of the political in art. For Again, A Time Machine she will develop a body of work drawn from audio recordings of talks and events programmed throughout the exhibition, culminating in a solo show in April 2012. For the first event, Archival Pleasure, a series of proposals from Sarah Pierce form the basis of an improvised dialogue on the archive with Paul Buck and Melissa Gronlund.
