Vtape's 2014 Curatorial Incubator finds curators pondering performance. Zach Pearl looks at Hollywood Screen Tests and investigates individual masochism and collective trauma between the artist and the audience. Yael Filipovic discovers works that reveal the performance of language in politically charged conversations. Neal McInnes proposes a programme of films where architecture and urban landscapes reveal structures of power.
Contents: Introduction; Set tongues wagging, curated by Yael Filipovic; An Architecture of Performance, curated by Neal McInnes; Screen Test, curated by Zach Pearl.
