'Museum & Exhibitions Session: Performativity in the Gallery: Staging Interactive Encounters' (Session 32 – Wilson 3)



Friday, 30 March 2012



Session Convenors: Outi Remes, New Ashgate/Richmond, outi.remes@newashgate.org.uk

Marika Leino, Christie’s Education and Chair, M&E Group, mleino@christies.com



This session explores participation, liveness, interactivity, process-based performative practices and performance for the camera in interdisciplinary practices, presented in visual arts gallery space. Live art and other multi-art form works that combine visual arts with performing arts such as dance and physical theatre have an intricate relationship with the canon of art history. Art history has been wary of live art’s tendency to encourage increased formal and conceptual risk taking and its interdisciplinary nature. Time-based performances have also challenged the conventions of documentation and the viewer’s access to art experience. A live art practitioner has yet to win the Turner Prize. The session focuses on the new research into the intricate relationship between art history, live and performing arts and museum and gallery space; what it means to present, curate and create interdisciplinary performative work for gallery space. The Museums & Exhibitions Group represents a wide range of practitioners, including art historians, curators and artists, considering performativity in gallery space.
