Join curator Dustin Hurt and a special guest for a guided tour through the archival materials, collaborative networks, and historical traces that shape David Tudor: A View From Inside.
The tour examines how photographs, programs, letters, and recordings situate Tudor’s practice within specific times, places, and relationships. Moving through the gallery’s timeline, Hurt will discuss how these materials reveal Tudor’s collaborations with composers, dancers, engineers, and visual artists, while also highlighting the gaps and unanswered questions the archive leaves behind. The tour considers how the exhibition’s approach to grouping instruments and displaying documentation helps trace the evolution of Tudor’s work across decades.
Estimated run time: 60 minutes. Free admission. No registration required. This event is immediately preceded by a talk by Michael Johnsen: How It Works: David Tudor’s Work.
This event is part of DAVID TUDOR: A VIEW FROM INSIDE, an exhibition at Drexel’s Pearlstein Gallery from January 15 to March 21, 2026.
Major support for DAVID TUDOR: A VIEW FROM INSIDE has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, with additional support from the Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia.
