Abstract
Some performance artworks pose a particular challenge upon acquisition by a museum, since what they are is neither immediately visible nor easy to document. One such work is Tony Conrad’s Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain 1972, and acquiring it for the Tate collection has led to the question of how can we capture and document the implicit and explicit knowledge needed for such artworks to exist into the future. Based on the approach developed for documenting Conrad’s Ten Years Alive, this essay provides a simplified, adaptable methodology that can be used to create bespoke processes for the documentation of complex performance artworks.
