Paperback. This book coincides with an increase in the programming of live art elements in many galleries and museums. Traditional art history has, however, been wary of live arts interdisciplinarity and its tendency to encourage increased formal and conceptual risk taking. Time-based performances have challenged the conventions of documentation and the viewers access to the art experience. This book questions the canon of art history by exploring participation, liveness, interactivity, digital and process-based performative practices and performance for the camera, as presented in gallery spaces. The essays present both academic research as well as case studies of curatorial projects that have pushed the boundaries of the art historical practice. The authors come from a wide range of backgrounds, ranging from curators and art producers to academics and practising artists. They ask what it means to present, curate and create interdisciplinary performative work for gallery spaces and offer cutting-edge research that explores the intricate relationship between art history, live and performing arts, and museum and gallery space. This book responds to the increase in live art programmed in many galleries and museums. The essays challenge the exclusion of live art from the the art history canon and explore participation, interactivity, digital and performative practices as presented in gallery spaces. Contributors include curators, academic scholars and practicing artists. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
