Items related to LIVE: Art and Performance
Synopsis
Live art is one of the most controversial and hotly discussed areas of creative practice to emerge in the second half of the 20th century. No longer at the margins of cultural production and recognition, performance is now a common occurrence in major art institutions. Here, leading artists and thinkers assess the relevance of live art and its impact within the visual arts and the broader cultural sphere. Hugo Glendinning’s stunning color photographs of performance events are combined with essays examining the political, philosophical, and cultural resonances of the work of a diverse range of live artists, both historical and contemporary. Accessible, critically astute, and expansive, Live is an indispensable resource.

Review
...an excellent illustration of performance art's ability to engage its audience directly, to inspire the audience to search its own thoughts and feelings, and, in so doing, to complete the work that the artist began.
–Library Journal
Live presents a thought-tweaking array of work by a variety of artists. Every page raises questions on the direction of art, ethical use of children, animals, and wet ware (dolls made of living organisms) as performance props. Abuse of the human body, genitals as art materials and manifesting a cornucopia of unusual sexual behavior are the tools and production practices employed to shock and enthrall audiences.
Live is laudatory book that dotes on the freakishness of performance and neglects to discuss critically the inherent problems associated with categorizing it as art rather than theater. Nevertheless, in the sea of literature vying for position in emerging art histories this book floats to the surface.

–NoHo->LA
[An] extremely useful, well-edited and readable book ... The essays in Live are excellent, both varied and well-informed.
–Performance Research, February 2005
