In addition to the Assembly preparations, LIVE has begun digging into our archives. As we’ve been gathering, labelling, assessing and creating frameworks for the future of the LIVE archives, many questions have surfaced around what it means to hold a body of performance art documentation. How can context be introduced to support the documentation of past performances? How can the archive care for and serve the artists whose documentation it holds?
