The Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) of the
University of Westminster is pleased to announce Exhibiting Performance, a
three-day event considering contemporary issues central to the display of
performance art.
There will be four half-day themes:
Curating
With Tate Modern opening the Tanks for performance events and Marina
Abramovic’s major exhibition at New York’s MoMA in 2010, is performance art
now mainstream, and on what terms? How do museums and galleries understand
performance art?
Dissemination and Documentation
How is performance documented ? If you missed the performance is that it?
What value does an art work in a different medium which gives a memory of a
performance have?
The Body and Audiences
What is the role of the body in performance today ? Why do so many
performance artists perform naked ? Is the naked body a sign of
authenticity or does the taboo distract from meaning ? How is the
relationship between artist and audience different from or similar to other
areas of art?
Performance and Media
How does technology mediate performance ? What are the ontologies of
networked, mediated and recorded performance practices ? How is
videoperformance ‘live’? How do different technologies of camera (webcam,
surveillance, etc) and screens (CRT, flat, projection, mobile phone,
computer, etc) change our concept of performance?
