NEW YORK, NY.- Since committing to donate his archives to The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, writer, director, and choreographer David Gordon has been actively participating in and reflecting on the process of compiling one's own archive, a project he has named Archiveography. As part of this investigation, Gordon unveils a new installation in The Library for the Performing Arts' Vincent Astor Gallery entitled DAVID GORDON: ARCHIVEOGRAPHY - Under Construction. The free installation, a collaboration between the Library and the Pick Up Performance Co(s), will remain on display through April 6, 2017.

Under Construction is a non-linear, non-chronological installation that embodies Gordon's work. The installation features four collage-covered wall created by Gordon specifically for the installation that showcases images from his history and personal life, as well as video projections from his performances, which are now part of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division's Moving Image Archive.

Gordon also encourages visitors to engage directly with the installation in various ways: by touching the costumes on display; removing items from the file cabinets; or by using computers within the gallery to watch more of his performance videos, or visit his website to view an interactive timeline and complete versions of writings, programs, texts and photographs for Archiveography.

As an installation, DAVID GORDON: ARCHIVEOGRAPHY - Under Construction builds on Live Archiveography Project, Gordon's performative explorations of the archiving process developed at The Library for the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center in early 2016. In conjunction with the installation, Gordon will present a preview performance on March 30, 2017 at The Library for the Performing Arts.in advance of the New York Premiere Live Archiveography that will be presented by Lumberyard (formerly known as American Dance Institute) and will take place June 1-3, 2017 at The Kitchen.
