A one-page preview featuring an image and text. The image at the top of the page is of a roll of white gauze being unrolled from the center on a black background. The text reads: "content often diverge. The telling of the event becomes a scene of projections and of other rich subjective disclosures but also a means for the witnesses to question the nature of their own seeing. Phenomenological detail is clearly consuming and seemingly infinite in these narrations; the flesh of each witness has been enfolded into the performers' entwining. Observation turns granular. A genuine accident within the live performance - the smashing of an opaque glass of water-ricochets through the retellings: within every event there is some other purer event, more vibrant and more real and more urgently told. These micro-events-elevated in perception-seem to suggest that the act of communal swallowing itself was securitized by its occurrence as a privately received ritual. Home sanctions such risks. Rhythm and tempo are recurrent witness' concerns, and the description of the performers' parting seems over too quickly for many. The freight of this separation-for some too much to countenance—is sadness at the withdrawal from a state of interconnectedness and visceral proximity, which has quickly accrued idealization. The affinity between Antoni and Petronio troubles articulation, and cannot be mapped onto familiar dyads of romantic investment or artistic collaboration. In each telling there is always a punctum, a small observed detail that becomes a conduit for a stream of realizations. I ask each witness what they will remember of the act, and here in the very process of the archival capture of that memory lives the most hesitation, doubt and ingenuity of response. In conceiving the act as destined to disappear, the artists have also given it potential, animated its afterlives through a social discourse whose plurality will drive its continued retelling. One late afternoon in the last week of November 2015, Antoni performs Paper Dance for Halprin on the dance deck. It is a year since our last weeklong visit to Kentfield, and over three years since Antoni began to carefully entangle her work with Halprin's. Although she improvises the performance on each occasion, Antoni has accumulated a repertoire of gestural images and sculptural possibilities from her earlier labors with the paper. Physical fragments will be played out, differentiating themselves in the unfolding of the event. Before dusk falls, Hugo Glendinning will shoot the first full video recording of the work, stabilizing it in time in wholly other ways. Since our last visit, Antoni's Paper Dance has grown in length and detail through numerous discussions and re-workings. A flexible dramaturgy is emerging where specific image-events are sequenced in relation to the developing state"

The text describes the work and reads: "The Apple of Adam's Eye This work marks a point of departure for Weems in terms of her use of media which she undertook as part of her residency at The Fabric Workshop/Museum.
