Drawing together all kinds of writing about and around Live Art,
The Live Art Almanac is both a useful resource and a great read for
artists, writers, students and others interested in the field of
interdisciplinary, performance-based art. The Live Art Almanac
Volume 4 is? a collection of 'found' writings about and around Live
Art that were originally published, shared, sent, spread and read
between January 2012 and December 2014. Selected through
recommendations and an open call for submissions, Volume 4 reflects
the dynamic, international contexts that Live Art and radical
performance-based practices occupy. Live Art is experiencing a huge
?surge in interest with major museums embracing this disparate area
of practice, formerly cult artists becoming household names, and
everyone from Shia LaBeouf, Lady Gaga and Jay Z trying to get in on
the action. Reflecting the diversity of approaches and key
developments from the last few years, Volume 4 is grouped into
seven loosely themed sections: Locating Performance; Performance
Under Attack; Speaking Up/Speaking Out; Show Me the Money; High Art
in Low Places; Reviews; and Dearly Departed. This volume includes
writings by,? and about: Ai Weiwei, Pussy Riot,?Tim Etchells, Karen
Finley, Vaginal Davis, Ann Magnuson, Shaheen Merali, Jennifer
Doyle, Marilyn Arsem, Guy Brett, Nigel Charnock, Claire Bishop,
