Performance in the Museum charts the main stages of the inclusion
of performance in the museum from the 1970s to the present day.
While performance emerged in the late 1960s as an
anti-institutional form of art, it has recently gained an
extraordinary visibility in contemporary art museums. This book
focuses on three specific areas affecting museums: how to display
performance art; conservation of performance art; and acquisition.
What emerges from this study is that the museum, although rarely
anticipating the specific issues raised by performance, has assumed
a unique position in devising curatorial strategies adapted to this
medium. Through close analysis of a selection of exhibitions and
curatorial practices from many different parts of the world, and
from specific periods from the past fifty years, this book
identifies key moments of the integration of performance in the
museum, thus filling a crucial gap both in the history of
performance and curatorial studies. Despite the recent surge of
exhibitions on performance and the part played by museums in this
phenomenon, the history of the display, the conservation and the
acquisition of live performance remains largely uncharted. This
book offers a thought-provoking and highly readable assessment of
some fundamental questions in contemporary curatorial practice.
