20.01.2022 Thank you to everyone to everyone who came to make history with us. What an incredible three months! Video documentation is now online if you missed any of the events by our many amazing contributors.
20.01.2022 As part of BC Institute's final event for the 20th Biennale of Sydney, we invite you to join the four members (Frances Barrett, Kate Blackmore, Kelly Doley, Diana Smith) in a performance that draws from our malleable relations to memory through an act of participatory narration. A microphone is passed around a circle and participants share memories of a performance, beginning each time with the refrain I Remember. What unfolds is an evolving archive of memory and a highly p...ersonalised oral history of performance. The memories are recorded and archived to become part of the broader exhibition and archive of 'Making History'. Through this performance BC Institute add yet another layer of unreliable narrative to the exhibition, and highlight the complexities associated with the construction of history. The History of Performance is presented as part of BC Institute's 'Making History' project, for the 20th Biennale of Sydney.

13.01.2022 TODAY at #makinghistory: 'In Search of Pat Larter'; a performance lecture by Sunday School (Kelly Dolly & Diana Smith) at 4pm. Sunday School delve into the erotically charged archives of artist Pat Larter. Their responses, which take the form of speculative letters written to the (now deceased) artist and to each other, try to understand why Pat Larter has been largely left out of art history.... Followed by 'B.A.B.S' by Amy Ireland, Francesca da Rimini, & Virginia Barratt at 5pm. Barratt, da Rimini and Ireland pick up the threads of Cleveland’s work beyond the date of her alleged disappearance, weaving a trans-temporal mesh of performative feminist texts. Their intervention involves a re-performance of a long lost script, designed to be executed, as Cleveland would have urged, upon and among the bodies of many.
