Examining the artistic, intellectual, and social life of
performance, this book interrogates Theatre and Performance Studies
through the lens of display and modern visual art. Moving beyond
the exhibition of immaterial art and its documents, as well as
re-enactment in gallery contexts, Guy's book articulates an
emerging field of arts practice distinct from but related to
increasing curatorial provision for 'live' performance. Drawing on
a recent proliferation of object-centric events of display that
interconnect with theatre, the book approaches artworks in terms of
their curation together and re-theorizes the exhibition as a
dynamic context in which established traditions of display and
performance interact. By examining the current traffic of ideas and
aesthetics moving between theatricality and curatorial practice,
the study reveals how the reception of a specific form is often
mediated via the ontological expectations of another. It asks how
contemporary visual arts and exhibition practices display
performance and what it means to generalize the 'theatrical' as the
optic or directive of a curatorial concept. Proposing a symbiotic
relation between theatricality and display, Guy presents cases from
international arts institutions which are both displayed and
performed, including the Tate Modern and the Guggenheim, and
assesses their significance to the enduring relation between
theatre and the visual arts. The book progresses from the
conventional alignment of theatricality and ephemerality within
performance research and teases out a new temporality for
performance with which contemporary exhibitions implicitly
experiment, thereby identifying supplementary modes of performance
which other discourses exclude. This important study joins the
fields of Theatre and Performance Studies with exciting new
directions in curation, aesthetics, sociology of the arts, visual
arts, the creative industries, the digital humanities, cultural
heritage, and reception and audience theories.
