An examination of how artists have combined performance and moving
image for decades, anticipating our changing relation to images in
the internet era. In Performing Image, Isobel Harbison examines how
artists have combined performance and moving image in their work
since the 1960s, and how this work anticipates our changing
relations to images since the advent of smart phones and the spread
of online prosumerism. Over this period, artists have used a
variety of DIY modes of self-imaging and circulation-from home
video to social media-suggesting how and why Western subjects might
seek alternative platforms for self-expression and
self-representation. In the course of her argument, Harbison offers
close analyses of works by such artists as Robert Rauschenberg,
Yvonne Rainer, Mark Leckey, Wu Tsang, and Martine Syms. Harbison
argues that while we produce images, images also produce us-those
that we take and share, those that we see and assimilate through
mass media and social media, those that we encounter in museums and
galleries. Although all the artists she examines express their
relation to images uniquely, they also offer a vantage point on
today's productive-consumptive image circuits in which billions of
us are caught. This unregulated, all-encompassing image
performativity, Harbison writes, puts us to work, for free, in the
service of global corporate expansion. Harbison offers a three-part
interpretive framework for understanding this new proximity to
images as it is negotiated by these artworks, a detailed outline of
a set of connected practices-and a declaration of the value of art
in an economy of attention and a crisis of representation.
