About Remembering Ken and Flo Jacobs, Basherts
At the Museum of Modern Art, *Remembering Ken and Flo Jacobs, Basherts* is presented as a live, free-form performance featuring Ken Jacobs and Flo Jacobs. The work sits in MoMA’s long relationship to New York’s experimental film and performance lineage, where artists have treated projection, sound, and speech as live materials rather than fixed media. It reads as an act of remembrance with the immediacy of a screening and the volatility of improvisation. One critical note: its meaning depends less on plot than on attention to process and presence.
