Since its emergence in the 1970s, the term "Live Art" has been used to encompass a wide range of performance practices and approaches, all of which are interconnected. This comprehensive volume provides a contextual and critical introduction to the contemporary Live Art scene in Britain. By focusing on key artists whose prolific body of work has played a crucial role in shaping contemporary practice, this collection delves into the landscape of Live Art in the UK today, shedding light on its origins, as well as specific concerns and aesthetics.
The introduction to the volume situates Live Art in the broader context of artistic practices and explores its unique characteristics as a British phenomenon. It examines issues such as cultural specificity, financial and institutional support, and social engagement, by tracing the work and impact of key organizations on the UK scene. These organizations include the Live Art Development Agency, SPILL Festival of Performance, and Compass Live Art.
Across three sections, leading scholars present case studies that explore the practices of a diverse range of key artists. These artists include Tim Etchells, Marisa Carnesky, Marcia Farquhar, Franko B, Martin OBrien, Oreet Ashery, David Hoyle, Jordan McKenzie, and Cosey Fanni Tutti. Each case study provides a deep insight into the artist's approach, techniques, and the significant impact their work has had on the Live Art scene in Britain.
By examining the diverse range of performance practices and approaches within the context of British Live Art, this volume offers a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and enthusiasts alike. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the historical development, current trends, and future prospects of this dynamic art form, contributing to the ongoing dialogue and exploration of performance art worldwide.
