Live Art is a contested category, not least because of the
historical, disciplinary and institutional ambiguities that the
term often tends to conceal. Live Art can be usefully defined as a
peculiarly British variation on particular legacies of cultural
experimentation - a historically and culturally contingent
translation of categories including body art, performance art,
time-based art, and endurance art. The recent social and cultural
history of the UK has involved specific factors that have crucially
influenced the development of Live Art since the late 1970s. These
have included issues in national cultural politics relating to
sexuality, gender, disability, technology, and cultural policy. In
the past decade there has been a proliferation of festivals of Live
Art in the UK and growing support for Live Art in major venues.
Nevertheless, while specific artists have been afforded critical
essays and monographs, there is a relative absence of scholarly
work on Live Art as a historically and culturally specific mode of
artistic production. Through essays by leading scholars and
critical interviews with influential artists in the sector,
Critical Live Art addresses the historical and cultural specificity
of contemporary experimental performance, and explores the
diversity of practices that are carried out, programmed, read or
taught as Live Art. This book is based on a special issue of
Contemporary Theatre Review.
