But I am so messy. I worked in the dance world from 1969-72, but Modern Dance was conservative, narrow; there was no place for me. I was introduced to the eureux H ’ L ideas in Yvonne Rainier’s “No Manifesto” (1965) by uy making art with visual artists who were jumping G off the walls to make Happenings with poets, 11 theatre artists, photographers, sculptors: PHOTO No to spectacle no to virtuosity no to , 2006 transformations and magic and make believe no to glamour and transcendency of the star image S E no to the heroic no to the anti-heroic no to IS trash imagery no to involvement of performer or GR S E spectator no to style no to camp no to seduction C of spectator by the wiles of the performer no to NEN MI eccentricity no to moving or being moved. É Sexe! Action/VIVA! Art Action Action/VIVA! Sexe! I was only dimly aware that the manifesto originated from Rainier. These ideas were mirrored and infused with what was happening in the real world – marches, grassroots organizing, social and educational upheaval, anti-Viet Nam War and Civil Rights Movements, the birth of feminism and gay rights, Back to the Land Communes. It wasn’t a time of labels, definitions or authorship. One of the techniques used to find new movement Yvonne Rainier’s move from dance to film was patterns was chance-choreography. Merce fed by an interest in narrative (deconstructed or Cunningham and John Cage employed chance manipulated) and a desire to break away from operations in the early 1950s at Black Mountain the body-as-object coolness and purity.

  • Switzerland's Performance Network
    27 3 The Body as a Medium: Switzerland’s Performance Network It is meanwhile perfectly natural to team up the word “per- formance” with sports, banks, cars, high-energy soft drinks and the stock market.The inflationary use of the term is un- questionably a function of a society that is out for ever great- er productivity and growth in every sector. The entertainment and events sector uses performativity as a communicative factor: DJ, disco and pop culture all in- corporate performative elements, and even classical live-art (dance, music, theatre) brings us “performances”.These few examples are enough to demonstrate that, when it comes to the term “performance”, confusion reigns. How problematic the definition of “performance art” is, and how very differ- ently it can be applied, continues to be substantiated by the difficulties encountered by applicants for and recipients of funds from grant-making bodies, which usually have no specific division devoted to performance art.What is it that you do? Do you dance? Make theatre? Recite texts? Make music? What exactly is performance art in the context of the visual arts. The essential starting point of performance art is the body – as a home to the soul, a means of conveying and ex- pressing identity,and a personal or social construct.This dir- ect confrontation with the essential nature of the human being has evolved over the last forty years in accordance with the social trends and influences of the day.It has always been inherent to performance art to break taboos and challenge established norms. Performance art as social sculpture The present-day understanding of performance art goes back to the early work of the Futurists, Dadaists and Situ- ationists.The appearances of the internationally ramified, in- terdisciplinary Fluxus group in the Fifties had an enduring effect on the political actions and happenings that took place in the United States and Europe in the Sixties and Seventies.

  • E.Jappe版action Art in Germany and Neighbouring
    Action Art in Germany and Neighbouring Countries Elisabeth JAPPE First of all I will give you an idea of the context and the conditions in which Action Art started to evolve in the Germanic countries, in Germany, Austria, Holland and Switzerland. The end of the forties and the beginning of the fifties were marked by the disaster of the Second World War. Germany and Austria were licking their wounds after losing the war. Holland had just lost its colonies in Indonesia. Everything was to be rebuilt and this required an incredible amount of physical and mental discipline. It was not a time for new experiences. This attitude resulted in an extremely conservative spirit, even in the spiritual world. Many things were forgotten: Futurism, Surrealism, Dada. While John CAGE was crossing the conventional borders between disciplines, creating a kind of living Gesamtkunstwerk, with a group of musicians, painters and choreographers at the Black Mountain College, Yves KLEIN exposed Le Vide (The Void) in France and claimed "to be able to fly". Artists in Germany - who for the most part had resisted the laws of Nazi aesthetics - were rediscovering abstraction and the free gesture in informal painting. It was only at the beginning of the sixties that things began to move on. Initially, there was a general feeling of malaise. Young people, and also artists, no longer wanted to accept the constraints of a society with only one idea in its head: its consolidation according to the economic laws of the market (taken to the extreme). At the same time, they rejected the concept of education extolled by preceding generations, particularly in Austria where the reactionary Church exerted a strong influence.

  • The Challenge of Black Market International
    The Challenge of Black Market International The National Review of Live Art 2007, Tramway, Glasgow From Wednesday 7th February to Sunday 11th February 2007, Black Market International (BMI) artists achieved a new challenge. Invited by Nikki Milican, Director of the National Review of Live Art in Glasgow, who put together 80 live art artists and where BMI would perform for five consecutive days. As such, over these five days, the various stakeholders (among whom we can quote guests such as Brian Connolly, Esther Ferrer, Jamie McMurry, Alexander Del Re, Monica Klinger, and regretting non-attendance of Norbert Klassen and Marco Teubner) would take over the vast space of Tramway 2. The programme also included an all-day workshop for twenty students, as well as to documentaries and solo readings. These five days managed to mobilise a great audience, mostly young, to follow the actions of Jürgen Fritz (D), Myriam Laplante (It/Qu), Alastair MacLennan (Northern Ireland), Helge Meyer (D), Boris Nieslony (D), Elvira Santamaria (Mx), Julie- Andrée Tremblay (Québec), Roi Vaara (Fi), Jacques Van Poppel (NL), Lee Wen (Si/J). ACT 1: Becoming Aware of the Territory On the first night, Black Market drags us into extremely poetic actions and proves to us the power of that open system. Little by little, they appropriate the space. The artists demonstrate how very little things end up being the central idea of an important work of art. They do not make art, they are art. Various objects lie in the massive room and accessories which will be used by performers are aligned on a big table.
