The Kitchen Archives

Biography

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and The Kitchen are pleased to introduce a selection of rare early video documents from The Kitchen's extraordinary historical archives of performance documentation. Restored through The Kitchen Archive Project, these works include video recordings of important experimental music, dance, installation, and performance art from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. This selection includes seminal works of artists central to the downtown art and music scene of the 1970s and '80s, including Laurie Anderson, Bill T. Jones, Rhys Chatham, Terry Fox, Jean Dupuy, Joan Jonas, and Lawrence Weiner, among many others. With this collaboration, EAI and The Kitchen celebrate their shared histories and their commitment to providing access to the vital legacy of experimental, multimedia art.
