Accent Sisters invites artists working across disciplines to participate in the forthcoming group exhibition Archive Fever, opening November 16.
Taking its title from Jacques Derrida’s Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression, the exhibition considers the archive not as a static repository of the past but as an active, unstable site of power, memory, and desire. From traditional archives—bound up with authority and hierarchical structures—to modern counter-archives that reframe narratives and subvert these structures, Archive Fever explores what is remembered, what is effaced, and the tension between preservation and erasure.
Archive Fever brings together works that probe this condition: excavating, reframing, and reactivating archival traces across historical and official registers, as well as private, contemporary, and technological domains. The selected artists engage archives as material and metaphor—deconstructing and reassembling them to produce spectral effects that unsettle dominant narratives and open new pathways into racial, political, cultural, colonial, geographical, and spiritual imaginaries.
We welcome submissions from artists in all media whose practices interrogate, intervene in, or expand upon the notion of the archive. Selected works will be presented at Accent Sisters, 89 5th Ave, New York, NY.
