The Dance Studies Working Group of the UC Berkeley Performance Studies Graduate Group hosted Margit Galanter for an artist talk / feedback session. Alongside Galanter’s multi-year and multi-varied Cave Forms performance research, she has been involved in asking, with collaborators, What is a vivid archive? In part an archive can extend beyond the bougie-ness of a Catalogue and work with what is underneath, how we index. An archive can be an extension of (non)activity, an opportunity for it to see itself from new angles, and a method for transducing and branching into new forms, breathing new life. Writing, video, graphs, drawings, and transdisciplinary materials have emerged from the Cave Forms project, some of which are surprising, and some of which offer the specificity of propositions on how to make meaning from the things made in the live(d) space.
