- Title
The Archive on Display: Issues of Curating Performance Remains.
- Authors
Williamson, Ashley
- Abstract
This fall both the Stratford Festival and the National Ballet of Canada presented exhibits featuring material from their archives to mark their sixtieth seasons. These exhibitions are part of a trend for archives (in this case performance archives), to use their collections as a way to connect with their audiences. However, this impetus raises some difficult questions about who chooses the material and how it is displayed? Are those who have been entrusted with the preservation and categorization of these performance remains the best advocates in a gallery space, or do these exhibitions deserve collaborators from the curators, marketing and, public relations?
