SUBPOENA is an experiment in authoring new histories through the union of performance-based work and new media technologies. Personal testimonies, hypothesized interactions and role-play are captured as data and transported through time and space to the public stage of the gallery. The nine artists in this show approach performance-driven work uniquely yet share a communal abstraction of linear time and causality. Engagement is further complicated by the fact that the technologies that enable viewers to witness the performances as art-objects are constantly erasing the necessity of their presence at the actual performed event. In SUBPOENA, gestures are presented as evidence and notions of authenticity, agency and authorship are highlighted by media that is simultaneously challenged and empowered.
