Live Art: Then and Now
Explores the recent history of Live Art, from the 1970s to the present via the study of significant as well as overlooked artists through audiovisual documentation, oral histories/interviews, and artists' writings, as well as significant scholarship and criticism in the field. Students will analyze performances and gain perspective on key themes for the study of Live Art, including (but not limited to) sexuality, gender, race and ethnicity, the blurring of art and life, extremity, duration, protest, and social engagement.
