Organizations Filed Purposes:
Blank Forms is a curatorial platform dedicated to the presentation and preservation of time-based performance practices.
Blank Forms was created to serve as a comprehensive support structure for emerging and unrepresented artists and archives and to provide resources and outlets for their work, particularly by creating in-depth public programs and educational materials. During the fiscal year of January 1, 2019 December 31, 2019 our activities consisted of producing over 40 programs which included listening sessions, seminars, and concerts in New York City and beyond in venues such as MoMA PS1, Pioneer Works, James Cohan Gallery, Gavin Browns Enterprise, REDCAT in Los Angeles, The Lab in San Francisco, Nameless Sound in Houston, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California San Diego. Nearly half of our programs in 2019 were free and open to the public, with others offering opportunities for discounted tickets. We presented new work by over 70 local and international artists working in experimental music and performance art, serving an in person audience of over 9000. In addition to our public presenting program, we also advanced Blank Forms Editions, publishing our first three monographic books in the fall of 2019 plus two issues of our semiannual journal and five records, all of which were distributed internationally and received praised from publications such as Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, and The Wire.
