The artist and collaborators Amalia Calderón, Megan Hoetger and Radna Rumping sat together with If I Can't Dance archive and research curator Anik Fournier to discuss the structures of 'collaboration' within the group's 'monumental' 18-month performance of archiving, as well as their respective roles and shared tasks throughout the process. Friday 21 June 2021, 12.00-13.30hr. Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Sarphatistraat 470, 1018 GW Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

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).
