Catherine Wood, the Senior Curator of International Art (Performance) at Tate, showcased screenings of Robert Rauschenberg's Open Score and Yvonne Rainer's Carriage Discreteness on October 20, 2016, at the Arts Catalyst Centre for Art, Science & Technology in London. This event was part of the '9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering Revisited, 1966/2016' series and Afterall's Exhibition Histories.

She had previously curated 'Yvonne Rainer: Dance Works' at Raven Row in 2014 and is co-curating the 'Robert Rauschenberg Retrospective' set to open in December 2016 at Tate Modern. The event, marking the 50th anniversary of the 1966 '9 Evenings,' was supported by various organizations, including Arts Council England and Cockayne – Grants for the Arts, and a recording of the discussion is available online.
