The Body in Performance: A Study Room Guide on body based practices

Notes

The Body in Performance, by Franko B (2004/5) by thisisLiveArt

 

Franko B was invited to produce a guide looking at body based practices, including works employing the body as an artistic tool and site of representation. He approached the guide by drawing up a list of materials we hold that are important to him, of new materials we are in the process of acquiring and of materials he has generously donated to the Study Room. To accompany his list of recommendations he also conducted an interview with Dominic Johnson discussing his choices, their significance to him and to understandings of the possibilities of Live Art. The Guide is available to view in our Study Room, or can be downloaded as a pdf.
