Saturday 29 - Sunday 30 March, 2003
Starr Auditorium, Tate Modern
This international symposium took place as part of the Live Culture programme of Live Art performances, debates and presentations.
It looked at the vibrant culture of Live Art and its relation to the politics of the contemporary. In our society of high technology and spectacle, the 'live' and the 'immediate' have become prime values. But what does Live Art have to say about our culture-wide lust for the live? An array of renowned artists and theorists will give presentations on the status and resonances of live practice, its histories and futures. Discussions will explore performance and place, the body in extremity, activism and global culture.
Speakers include: Peggy Phelan, Andrew Quick, Lin Hixson, Keith Khan, Henry M Sayre, Tim Etchells, Carol Becker, Jean Fisher, William Pope.L, Ricardo Dominguez, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Alan Read, John Jordan, Alastair MacLennan, Catherine David, Matthew Goulish, Ron Athey, Oron Catts, Amelia Jones, Adrian Heathfield, Leslie Hill, and Andre Lepecki.
