Presentation for the If I Can’t Dance Edition VIII – Ritual and Display Introductory Kick-Off Weekend. The artist’s textile paintings adorn the space throughout the weekend. Here, he shares on his multimedia practice, concentrating on its early beginnings in 1993, in a slide show that makes clear his reliance on feminist figures like Carolee Schneeman, Hannah Wilke and Adrian Piper. He then dances before a dual projection – Schneemann video and footage from his studio – in and out of step with ‘Starlight’ by The Supermen Lovers.

SMW solo exhibition at mistral, Amsterdam (2021). The exhibition opens up the process of the ‘monumental’ 18-month collaborative performance Gift Science Archive (GSA) to the public for haptic engagements with the artist’s working and archiving processes. Visitors are invited to peruse the GSA archive database and to pull materials from the collection for a closer look and, over a cup, for a story. The ‘research experience’ is thus set into relational motion, by conversations – a central part of Murray-Wassink’s practice. Co-curated by Megan Hoetger (If I Can’t Dance) together with Radna Rumping and Huib Haye van der Werf (mistral).

Rijksakademie Internal Open Studios – 07.09.20. “… De Ateliers as a boys club. I was gay but I had a penis so it didn’t matter. I lost contact with Carolee for a year, and I asked myself, what happened? All my feminist work was kind of tossed by them.” – SMW. “I was laughed away because I was a woman. The only way to survive is to become one of the boys […]. Feminist as a word, but a dirty word.” – Anon.

From 12. April 2020 (WeTransfer notes): “they are a bit too close for me to properly ‘judge’, they are a bit neutral for me. Carolee always told me to go to where the difficulty was, and somehow my face has always been a challenging situation.” – SMW. 30. April 2020 (inventory note): “I also think of Jo Spence, the British artist, being told she was ‘brave’ for using her own image when she was not classically beautiful. And Carolee Schneemann and Hannah Wilke subverting the ‘ideal image’. I feel somewhere in between as I swing between ‘more ideal’ and ‘less ideal’.” – SMW.

Date: 05.12.19. Location: Studio Sands, Swammerdamstraat 4E, Amsterdam. Megan Hoetger and Radna Rumping visit the studio of Sands, with Sands. This is the first meeting they have together. Snapshots of the studio as it is, with a painting 'Listen to yourself' on the wall, and shelves that are full with stacks of paper, drawings and cardboard boxes. Images of the perfume collection. Reflection of MH, RR and SMW in the mirror.

  • Reflection Notes

“A first meeting, a mirror. Even when a snapshot is blurry, sometimes you know a moment needs to be captured. The start of a collaboration between SMW, MH, RR, and a friendship. ‘We looked at a booklet of images made with Valie Export (which she doesn’t want to be public). Then we walked to the Rijksakademie. Megan suggested to think of different categories; aside from regular archive categories such as material, date, medium, we can also think of people that the work relates to (Carolee, Adrian, Hannah, Robin etc. etc.)‘ From the meta-archive process diary.” – RR.
