Nostalgia is a loaded word. In this study — with a title lifted from the memoirs of French beaut and actress Simone Signoret — curators Sharon Hayes and Brooke O'Harra explore the time-tied implications of documenting performance. Several works are screened for discussion like Jeff Weiss' performance of Gertrude Stein's As a Wife Has a Cow: A Love Story, the "cow" being slang for a woman-only act. Other pieces include Wooster Group's Brace Up!, John Jeserun's live serial Chang in a Void Moon, and Faye Driscoll's Loneliness, a dance that the artist choreographed in iMovie using photos of her bedroom prancing.
