| Abstract | This manuscript presents a critical analysis of authorship, participation, distribution and perception of Paul Chan’s project ""Waiting for Godot in New Orleans: A Play in Two Acts, A Project in Three Parts"" and its afterlife, highlighting the contradictions of working in this genre of art production. In 2007, Chan organized an experiential project in New Orleans in response to the loss experienced and lack of recovery exhibited in the wake of Hurricane Katrina; presently, this project exists as multiple records and objects circulating within the art sphere. Examining Chan’s project and its mediated afterlife, this study navigates the tensions present before, during and after the transformation from project to archive through the intersection of art and politics. It presents a response to growing concerns of how to responsibly document and exhibit socially engaged practices, as well as an interest in methodologies for critically analyzing these practices. |
