    Art, lies and videotape: exposing performance

    George, Adrian; Warr, Tracey; Goldberg, Roselee, Art, lies and videotape: exposing performance, London Tate Publishing, 2003 Abstract This catalogue was published on the occasion of the titled exhibition at Tate Liverpool from November 2003 to January 2004. It is the Tate’s first major exhibition devoted to the history and continuing significance of the radical art form, whether they are never recorded or are staged exclusively for the camera.

    Circulating the event: the social life of performance documentation, 1965–1975

    Santone, Jessica Lynne, «Circulating the event: the social life of performance documentation, 1965–1975». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2011 Abstract This dissertation reevaluates the relationship between performance acts and documents by considering the way documentation was understood within the time of an event. Expanding on Alain Badiou’s theory of evental ‘Twoness’ in Being and Event, I develop an approach to performance that always takes documents and performance acts together, as corresponding producers of an art event.

One important implication of this approach is a stronger…

The pertinent questions here are: how are…

    Body, Camera, Action: Understanding the Metamorphosis of Performance Art in Japan

    Melnikova, Daria, «Body, Camera, Action: Understanding the Metamorphosis of Performance Art in Japan». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2018 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the specific medium “performance art” (pafōmansu āto) in Japan, situated in the transnational and comparative context of the 1960s and the 2010s. Extensively drawing on the art criticism of Akiyama Kuniharu, Ishiko Junzō, Sawaragi Noi, Tōno Yoshiaki, Tone Yasunao, and Yoshida Yoshie, this research investigates the discursive space of performance that constructs a multiplicity of historical terms such as happenings, events, festivals, spectacle. In the 1960s, the fashion of happenings (initially coined by American artist Allan Kaprow) spread outside of artistic institutions such…
