In conjunction with the exhibition “Haunted: Contemporary Photography / Video / Performance,” the Guggenheim is presenting “Thinking Performance,” a two-day examination of performance art. On Thursday night, Joan Jonas will stage an expanded version of her 1969 work “Mirror Piece I: Reconfigured,” followed by a discussion between Jonas and curator Chrissie Ilies. On Friday beginning at 2:00, there will be a series of talks and discussions, including Rebecca Schneider’s “The Immaterial Labor of Temporal Drag: Tino Sehgal, Photography, and Interinanimation,” Carrie Lambert-Beatty’s “Performance Police,” Claire Bishop’s “Delegated Performance — Outsourcing Authenticity,” and a pair of artist conversations, one between Susan Philipsz and Nat Trotman, the other with Marina Abramovic and Nancy Spector. The two-day symposium will conclude with a viewing of the exhibit and a reception.
