As the symbolists, constructivists and surrealists of the
historical avant-garde began to abandon traditional theatre spaces
and embrace the more contingent locations of the theatrical and
political 'event', the built environment of a performance became
not only part of the event, but an event in and of itself.
Event-Space radically re-evaluates the avant garde's championing of
nonrepresentational spaces, drawing on the specific fields of
performance studies and architectural studies to establish a theory
of 'performative architecture'. 'Event' was of immense significance
to modernism's revolutionary agenda, resisting realism and
naturalism - and, simultaneously, the monumentality of architecture
itself. Event-Space analyzes a number of spatiotemporal models
central to that revolution, both illuminating the history of
avant-garde performance and inspiring contemporary approaches to
performance space.
