The exhibition is designed by Andrew LeClair.
On Wednesday, April 4 at 5:30 p.m., BAM will host an opening reception featuring artist-led exercises from Malik Gaines, Ain Gordon, Sharon Hayes. and Brooke O’Harra. The event is free and open to the public.
In Terms of Performance was launched in December 2016 and is co-edited by Shannon Jackson, the Cyrus and Michelle Hadidi Chair in the Humanities at the University of California, Berkeley, and Paula Marincola, Executive Director of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, Philadelphia.
