Out of Actions: Between Performance and the Object, 1949-1979 was organized by Paul Schimmel in consultation with an international advisory team. The goal of this exhibition was to provide viewers with an understanding of the relationship between action, performance, and the creative process, covering three decades and featuring over 150 artists from around the world stemming from the postwar era. The exhibition included artists' publications, drawings, and ephemera, as well as photographic, film and video documentation of performances. The show examined performance art's emergence from the more traditional forms of painting and sculpture, giving rise to the concept that the process of creating an object is in itself a work of art. Another aspect of the content showed movements from the late 1950s to 1969, including early performance art. Little-known works from Latin America in the late 1960s and early 1970s were also part of the show. Finally, the show focused on artists from Europe, The United States, and Japan, who came of age in the 1970s, and had performance art at the foundation of their early work and moved towards object-making later in their careers.
