The exhibition is titled after a work first presented at Sonnabend Gallery, which will be reinstalled for the exhibition: Where We Are Now (Who Are We Anyway?) consists of a plank of wood surrounded by stools, with the plank extending through an open window and becoming a diving board over the traffic below. The exhibition at PS1 includes documentary materials, photographs, and film and video footage from early works like Following Piece (1969), Shadow-Play (1970), Openings (1970), Seedbed (1972), and The Red Tapes (1976-77).
