Live Art Week


This project:
is not interested in getting people in the door.
is not finished work
is not about re-enacting
is not fixed
is unscripted
is not what we said it would be
is not outside
is not about attracting a live audience
is not about what actually happens

is about working in a space
is creating work with whatever materials are at hand
is real
is art in a gallery
is using re-enactment as a starting point in most cases
is documenting

As a result what is emerging is that the project is finding new ways to describe live art, using motion detecting secruity cameras which makes images that can be uploaded to the internet as a live stream. In contrast we are also choosing to use pinhole cameras, written minutes are being recorded as if it could be used later as evidence. Audience are welcome to express ideas and effect the space physically or to interact online with the facebook event. We are not interested in presenting live art.
