Drawing out the particularities of working in twos, with a focus on
collaborative performance making, this book considers the duet as a
particular configuration in which to think, the duo a microcosm of
humankind, and presents everyday entanglement of form and practice
seen through the lens of the smallest multiple unit. This book
explores the practical, philosophical and aesthetic implications of
performers working in pairs. It focuses on a ten-year period in the
work of Karen Christopher, alongside wider reflections on the duet
as a concept in artistic and social life. The book presents an
investigation of the entanglement of form and practice seen through
the lens of the smallest multiple unit of collaboration: the pair.
During this ten-year period, Christopher set out to create a series
of duets by working with one other artist. The 25 pieces in the
collection includes reflections from an international group of
collaborators, artists, linguists, physicists, theologians,
philosophers and performance scholars. Many of them deal with the
question of artistic collaboration and entanglement, contemplating
the significance of those terms both on an interpersonal and global
level. This book provides a fascinating insight into the creative
working process of a particular artist, whilst providing a
blueprint for how collaboration might take place. There are many
passages that might provide inspiration for other artists and
overall the book makes a moving and heartfelt plea for
interpersonal open-ness and mutual investment. Primary readership
will be among international theatre-makers, artists, performance
and art scholars, philosophers, teachers, directors, actors,
dancers, performance artists and those interested in creative and
personal writing about performance, art and art-making. It will be
of particular relevance to those with an interest in Karen
Christopher, or in the other contributors.
Joshua Sofaer works across boundaries, borders and disciplines to
create artworks that engage with all levels of society. In cultural
institutions or on the street, for art galleries or personal homes,
staged as operas or cast as golden sculptures, Sofaer's work weaves
with and through social fabric to consider the ideas that hold us
together. Co-published with the Live Art Development Agency, this
lavishly illustrated volume is the first in-depth study of the
artist's work, featuring discussions with producers and
participants, documentary images and a new photographic essay,
interviews with the artist himself, and thirteen commissioned
essays by scholars, curators and artists from the perspectives of
performance studies, archaeology and opera criticism. With a
mixture of intellect, humour and striking design, Joshua Sofaer:
Performance | Objects | Participation analyses the artist's oeuvre
in the contexts of liveness, visual art and participatory
practices. It explores the binding aesthetics of his approach as a
model for contemporary practice, and it considers the impact of his
work on audiences, institutions and pedagogy, as well as on fine
art and performance ecologies as a whole.

This collection examines one of the fastest growing fields of
regulation: data rights. The book moves debates about data beyond
data and privacy protecting statutes. In doing so, it asks what
private law may have to say about these issues and explores how
private law may influence the interpretation and the form of
legislation dealing with data. Over five parts it: sets out an
overview of the themes and problems; explores theoretical
justifications and challenges in understanding data; considers data
through the perspective of cognate private law doctrines; assesses
the contribution of private law in understanding individual rights;
and finally examines the potential of private law in providing
individual remedies for wrongful data use, supplementing the work
of regulators. The contributors are specialists in their respective
fields of private law with long-standing expertise in the
challenges to data privacy posed by emerging digital technologies.
