Office Report: As part of the closing festivities for Christian Marclay: Festival, the Whitney Museum will stream daily, live performances from the galleries through September 26th on whitney.org and livestream.com, our partner for this initiative. Obviously, I am pleased that we’re using the museum’s website as a means of opening the in-gallery experience to a larger public; the Whitney has a stellar history of supporting the performing arts, and I hope this project is the first of many future forays into web-based performance documentation at the museum.
+ Visit whitney.org for an ongoing schedule of in-gallery performances. Generally, there are at least two live performances in the gallery every day; from 1–5 pm today, Butch Morris and Chorus of Poets will perform at random intervals in the fourth floor galleries.
+ Upcoming: Are you subscribing to the museum’s RSS feeds? If so, you already know that Thurston Moore is playing Marclay’s score, Wind Up Guitar, on Friday, September 17th at 7 pm (which is also pay-what-you-wish night, FYI). Shore up, Sonic Youth fans.
