OM DETTA AVSNITT
For this episode of Performance Talks I had the pleasure to interview the New York-based curator and Co-Director of Centre Pompidou Jersey City, Charles Aubin.
Aubin started his career at Centre Pompidou in Paris, served as Senior Curator and Head of Publications at Performa, and was recently hired as Co-Director of Centre Pompidou Jersey City (scheduled to open in 2026) in a full circle moment.
Working at Performa for more than a decade, the artists he curated work by are almost too numerous works to name: Madeline Hollander, Jérôme Bell, Danielle Dean, and Franz Erhard Walther. A few years ago, he started an oral history project focussing on Yvonne Rainer's choreographic work since her return to dance in 1999.
In our interview, we delve into Charles' origins as a curator and speak to the challenges of gathering first hand accounts of Yvonne’s 21st-century works.
