Performing Franklin Furnace

In conjunction with the final presentation of the exhibition Martha Wilson in New York, Martha Wilson and ICI’s Alaina Claire Feldman have organized a series of performances, which capture the spirit of Franklin Furnace as a physical space. The program at PARTICIPANT INC includes live works by Michael Smith (who will re-create a version of Baby Ikki he presented at Franklin Furnace in 1978), Coco Fusco (a Franklin Furnace alum presenting a recent work), a day of screenings of Franklin Furnace alumni from each decade, and a day of improvisational / in-progress performances hosted by Clifford Owens inspired by the S.N.A.P. (Sunday night at the performances) series at Franklin Furnace.
