Performance Now
Explore why the extraordinary works of Marina Abramovic have such power, even when the artist is not present.
Overview
The line between visual and performing arts isn’t just blurring; it has well and truly blurred. One inspires the other and back again, as live works inform the efforts of artists and vice versa.
It is in this space that Performance Now explores what has become an intriguing and established continuum of creativity. If you’ve ever wondered how the transitory nature of live performance is captured and transformed into new works that still manage to contain the power and content of the original, then this exhibition adds further fuel to your ponderings.
Compiling the output of artists such as Marina Abramovic, William Kentridge, Clifford Owens, Santiago Sierra, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, and Jerome Bel, the collection of pieces show how the visual realm can be enlivened by performance. The exhibition also aims to demonstrate the impact on an individual level in its array of objects, installations, video and photography.
