Linder She She 1981 Courtesy The Artist enlarge

The artists presenting live works in the Tate Triennial 2006 make painting, sculpture, photography, video or installation work. This generation, looks back at the breadth of performance practices developed in the twentieth century. They open up the genre, taking ‘performance’ away from the idea that the body is a site for revealing individual, ‘inner essence’. These one-off live events are expansive – they combine music, dance, film, costumes, props, puppets or actors with invented and historical material.

Live work is a central part of this exhibition. A theatre structure, a unique collaboration between architect Celine Condorelli and artist Pablo Bronstein, has been designed as a performance space and also as a communal public plaza. During regular gallery hours it acts as an information point for the exhibition, offering reading material, interviews and documentation of performances.
