Re-performance The recent Art Journal Forum, organized by Amelia Jones, and the multiple articles that have circulated since Marina Abramovic’s 2005 Seven Easy Pieces at the Guggenheim Museum and especially after Abramovic’s 2010 retrospective, are proof of the urgency within the academic and professional communities to grapple with the problems and potentials posed by the concept of re-performance. See Jones et al., “Forum: Performance, Live or Dead,” and Jones, “‘The Artist is Present’: Artistic Re-enactments and the Impossibility of Presence,” Art Journal 70.3: 32–58; Pil and Galia Kollectiv, “Retro/Necro: From Beyond the Grave of the Politics of Re-enactment,” Art Papers 31.6 (2007): 44–51; Carrie Lambert-Beatty, “Against Performance Art,” Artforum 48.9 (May 2010): 209–12; Jenni Sorkin, “Mythology and the Remake: The Culture of Re-performance and Strategies of Simulation,” East of Borneo, October 10, 2010, http:// www.eastofborneo.org/articles/19 (accessed on November 5, 2010); and Martha Rosler, “The Second Time as Farce,” Idiom Magazine, February 21, 2011, http://www.idommag. com/2011/02/the-second-time-as-farce (accessed on March 3, 2011).↵
