Media

ISSUE has a significant archive of performance documentation that represents both an important link to the past, and a future resource for artists and audiences. ISSUE’s public media archive is a consistently updated and freely accessible collection of video and audio documentation from recent and past ISSUE performances. Currently, ISSUE is in the process of digitizing historical documentation from its former homes at The Old American Can Factory and silo space in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Regular updates feature newly published materials within ISSUE’s constantly expanding performance history.
