In a conversation about different approaches and methods of working with archives, Cori Olinghouse and Ann Butler, Director of the Library and Archives at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College develop a poetic lexicon and way of thinking around the archiving of curatorial projects, time-based media, and performance practices. Moving through a series of words, gestures, and tempos to metaphorically unpack archival concepts, they explore what it means to physically encounter an archive.
