OPEN SCORE by ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG

The Menil Collection in collaboration Microcinema International present Open Score by Robert Rauschenberg. This film is from a series of films on DVD about a legendary series of theater, dance, music and performances at the New York 69th Regiment Armory in 1966 that were held in conjunction with 9 Evenings: Theatre & Engineering which was recognized as a major artistic event of the 1960s.

The performances represented the culmination of a period of extraordinary creative energy in art, dance and music in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and they also pointed to the future, as artists began to use new technology in their work.

Immediately following the film will be a commentary from Julie Martin Kluver, who produced the films, and dancer Deborah Hay, who participated in Rauschenberg performances.
