Inheriting the Avant-Garde: Merce Cunningham, Marcel Duchamp, and the “Legacy Plan”
View through CrossRef
“Repetition is a necessary and justified conduct only in relation to that which cannot be replaced.” —Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition
How does one create a dance legacy? Or, in the case of Merce Cunningham, how does one create an avant-garde dance legacy? Can a corpus of controversial works and ideas be preserved for posterity without betraying the fundamental impulse of an intentionally self-exceeding experimental art? What can be preserved, archived, and bequeathed of a choreographer's work if that choreographer's project was precisely to generate what he had not done before?
