Overview

The days of art being pristine and untouched are long gone. Art these days wants to get all up in your face. It's cheeky and inappropriate. Sometimes it involves dancing naked in a gallery. Taking these ideas to the extreme, MUMA is presenting Art as a Verb: a group retrospective of interactive, performance based works. Exhibiting pieces from Marina Abramovic, Vito Acconci, Francis Alyss, Mike Parr, Yoko Ono and many more, this show asks you to get your hands dirty. With peoplemasturbating under floorboards and sewing their lips shut, it's pretty clear — art is no longer just about pretty oil paintings.

This event was chosen as one of our top ten picks for the 2014 Melbourne Festival. See the full list here.
