Reflections on Public Recordings’ Public Events
About R&D Online
The R&D website is conceived as a bulletin board of ideas, discussion and resources - an ongoing and accumulating archive of what has been happening at the gallery both publicly and in more intimate research moments. Broadly speaking, the Events/Exhibitions notes give the details about public programs, while the Research/Conversation notes elaborate on the concepts and debates around what we’re up to.
About R&D
Our new project space, branded as TPW R&D, is intended as a transitional and flexible space for shared research and the development of critical discourse. As a temporary research office, our focus will be discursive programming — writing, screenings, discussions, workshops, fluid exhibition strategies — where we can think out loud about our methodologies for looking and showing as much as we continue to directly experience the force of images.

PUBLIC MATTERS: experiments in conversation
Thursday, October 4, 2012, 8:00 pm PUBLIC MATTERS is a project by Public Recordings, an atelier that explores and shares choreographic experimentation through artistic research, performance creation, publication and education.

Unshowable Photographs
Thursday, September 20, 2012, 7pm Working from Ariella Azoulay’s notion of the event of photography, and Susan Meiselas’s writing about untaken and unshowable photographs, this panel discussion asks respondents to discuss images that are difficult to show, have been withheld, or which we know exist but do not circulate.
