Sound-Artist Maryanne Amacher’s Archive Heads to New York Public Library
Blank Forms, a roaming curatorial platform in New York, has announced the establishment of the Maryanne Amacher Foundation and the donation of Amacher’s archive to the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. The materials in the archive include sound works and related writings, performance materials, and ephemera, as well as more 1,000 reel-to-reel tapes and documentation of experimental sound works in other formats. The collection also includes electronic music gear that the foundation will repair and maintain. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in ensuring the preservation and continuation of Maryanne Amachar’s singular work,” Blank Forms director Lawrence Kumpf said in a statement. “Blank Forms was founded with the mission of establishing new frameworks to preserve and present the time-based and interdisciplinary practices of underrepresented experimental artists like Maryanne Amacher.” Of Amacher, Jonathan Hiam, the library’s curator of the Music & Recorded Sound Division, said, “Her collection provides a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of a truly unique artist. Making this collection available alongside our other holdings of Amacher’s peers and collaborators, like John Cage, also gives the public an understanding of the creative community she thrived in and influenced.”
