CENTO New York Performances

CENTO arrives at Whitney Exhibitions as a live, gallery-situated event in New York City, with Nancy Baker Cahill among the featured performers. The title points to an old compositional method: building a new work from fragments, reordered into a different argument. Here, that logic becomes an exhibition format, where citation and remix read as a record of how culture is made and inherited. Its significance in the city is less about novelty than about placing authorship, influence, and the archive under visible pressure.
