This section features images from Ocean by Merce Cunningham, presented on the occasion of the ceremony for the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement awarded to him by La Biennale di Venezia in 1995; photograms from the video No title. Untitled. by Simone Forti, a seminal artist who would strongly influence all postmodern dance by Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton; also by Steve Paxton, moments from a performance with Lisa Nelson, his preferred partner, and of a masterpiece such as the Goldberg Variations. They all testify to the cultural ferment of an era that continues to resonate to our day.
