The Old Place New York Performances

Presented at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), *The Old Place* arrives in New York as a free, live performance that treats the museum itself as subject and archive. Featured performers include Jean-Luc Godard, Anne-Marie Miéville, and D. W. Griffith, names that carry the weight of film history and its unresolved arguments. In an NYC context, its significance lies in how it reframes canonical images inside an institution that helped define the canon. The piece offers one sober insight: preservation can also be a form of editing.
