Convener: Lucian Gomoll
Conceived by: Lucian Gomoll & Lissette Olivares

What limitations do institutional spaces (such as the museum) pose for performance artists and curators of performance? What is the role of the curator in exhibiting new performances and/or reactivating those that have already taken place? What is the significance of performance in the history of exhibition, and what new display methods can it enable? How does the recent museological shift towards interactivity relate to performance and archival practices more generally?
