Undoing the Archive with Mobius Group at Tufts University Gallery SMFA

“Undoing the Archive” is a seven hour event that is part of “an archive and/or a repertoire” at Tufts University Gallery, SMFA.

Join Tufts University Art Galleries and Mobius Artists Group for performances, sound works, and installations responding to the Tufts University Archival Research Center (TARC)’s Mobius Inc. Records and the larger conception of the “archive.” Resisting the urge to adhere to the de facto logics, organization, and authority of the archive, contributions from Marilyn Arsem, Margaret Bellafiore, Jimena Bermejo, Serena Gabriels, Elena Godena, Heather Kapplow, Marcel Marcel, Forbes Graham, Jeff Huckleberry, Sandy Huckleberry, Kledia Spiro, and Joanna Tam embody adjacencies, challenges, resistances to, and thinking with archives—institutional, governmental, collective, familial, and personal.  

Mobius Artists Group is a Boston-based artists’ collective committed to creating original, experimental work in all media. Mobius, Inc. is an artist-run non-profit, tax-exempt, 501©(3) organization that creates opportunities to generate, shape and test experimental art. Since 1975, Mobius has been a regional and transnational laboratory for supporting and building relationships among fellow artists. Mobius is recognized as one of the seminal alternative artist-run organizations in the U.S. and has presented work involving thousands of artists over the past 40 years. Works created by our members have been presented throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Several notable exchanges with artists from Ireland and the U.K., Croatia, North Macedonia, Poland, and Taiwan have focused on public sites as incubators for discourse.
