CCS BARD

Cori Olinghouse is an artist, archivist, and curator working with performance and time-based media. In 2017 she founded The Portal, an artist-led initiative that cultivates archiving as a poetic and performative practice. Recently, she collaborated with video artist Charles Atlas on a moving image installation for “Judson Dance Theater: The Work is Never Done,” for The Museum of Modern Art. In 2019, she collaborated with The Studio Museum in Harlem on the acquisition and restaging of Autumn Knight’s performance work “WALL"—the first performance to enter their permanent collection. Formerly, as archive director for the Trisha Brown Dance Company, she collaborated with David Thomson on an audiovisual database that tracks Brown’s development of a lexicon of movement, mapping her choreographic ideas and methods into a vocabulary that can be further searched and accessed. She holds an MA in Performance Curation from the Institute for Curatorial Practice in Performance at Wesleyan University, and serves as visiting faculty at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. https://theportal.place
