Dream

Gifted to SMW by artist Lisa Erb because of the uncanny graphic design.

From the 2015 event ‘Venus the Anti-Hero Hero’ (or something like this) at Framer Framed and organised by Amal Alhaag. At the event SMW did a presentation together with an organiser (Hodan Warsame), and he showed the video ‘The Big Four-Oh’ by Adrian Piper (1988).

“Above: Carolee had a knot in her hair. We were in her hotel room in Frankfurt where we met for her retrospective in 2017. She asked me if I could help to comb her hair and untangle the knot, and she insisted that Robin photograph it as a performance. Below: In 2000 in the first house that Robin and I shared together in Amsterdam, which was 19 square meters, I was on the phone arranging a purchase from Ronald Feldman Gallery of ‘Handle with Care,’ a work by Hannah Wilke. As Robin often does, he documented the action as a work.” – SMW.

Lino-block produced (and signed on the back) by Senga Nengudi in 1991, which gifted to SMW around 2011 and printed at the Rijksakademie print lab during SMW’s guest residency in 2021.

Very few of these remain as SMW had to start throwing them away with no space to keep them anymore (still produced but periodically have to be cleaned out).

Installation on occasion of the Rijks Open Studios. From handout accompanying the exhibition: ‘Welcome to Without You I’m Nothing (Blue)’, a display of works by Sands Murray-Wassink. All of the works have been unearthed in the process of Gift Science Archive, a ‘monumental’ archiving performance/performance of archiving undertaken by Murray-Wassink and collaborators Amalia Calderón (artistic researcher), Megan Hoetger (curator, If I Can’t Dance) and Radna Rumping (independent editor) over the last 18 months within the frame of Murray-Wassink’s guest residency at the Rjksakademie and his commission with If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution. The materials on display include paintings on paper and fabric, photographs and video, as well as works by Senga Nengudi and Carolee Schneemann from Murray-Wassink’s personal collection.

Performance in conjunction with the exhibition, ‘Without You I’m Nothing (Blue)’: on occasion of the Rijks Open Studios. From handout accompanying the exhibition: in the space opposite ‘Without You I’m Nothing (Blue)’, visitors can also join Murray-Wassink, Hoetger and Rumping for Backstage with the Gift Science Archive. During selected hours, Backstage offers a look into the studio-depot where Gift Science Archive has unfolded. And, if you’re interested in learning more about the collaborative archiving process, Murray-Wassink, Calderón, Hoetger and Rumping will be in a live-streamed conversation on their process, their roles, and the nuances of co-creation along intergenerational feminist axes. The discussion will be moderated by If I Can’t Dance archive and research curator Anik Fournier and held within the Rijks Open Studios events program on Monday 21 June, 12.00-13.30hr.
