Franklin Furnace Archive : ウィキペディア英語版 | Franklin Furnace Archive Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc. is an arts organization based in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York that serves to preserve and encourage the production of avant-garde art, particularly forms such as performance art that are under-represented by arts institutions due to their ephemeral nature or politically unpopular content. ==History== Founded by Martha Wilson in 1976 as an archive for artist books and variable media, Franklin Furnace gathered the largest collection of artist books in the United States before 1993 when most of the collection, or 13,500 books, was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art. Franklin Furnace was one of the first organizations to support and advocate for artist books, which today are still under-recognized and under-valued, especially by larger art and culture institutions. Franklin Furnace was on the front lines during the “culture wars” of the 1980s and 1990s. In 1984, the Morality Action Committee claimed that 500 children per day were exposed to pornography in the Carnival Knowledge show; Franklin Furnace’s 1992-93 National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) program grant was rescinded by the National Council on the Arts; and in 1996, the Christian Action Network carried a coffin up the steps of the Capitol to call for the death of Franklin Furnace and the NEA.〔 Although today it is a “virtual institution,” using its website franklinfurnace.org as its public face, in the 1970s and 1980s Franklin Furnace held performances, installations, and exhibits in its performance space on Franklin Street in Lower Manhattan. In 1990, the Franklin Street performance space was closed down, and Franklin Furnace moved to the Financial District before settling into 80 Hanson Place in Brooklyn, New York from 2004 to December 2014 at which point it moved to its current headquarters at Pratt Institute campus.〔
