Ron Athey is an iconic figure in the development of contemporary art and Contributors performance. In his frequently bloody portrayals of life, death, crisis, and Ron Athey fortitude in the time of AIDS, Athey calls into question the limits of artistic Homi K. Bhabha practice. These limits enable Athey to explore key themes including: gender, sexuality, SM and radical sex, queer activism, post-punk and Alex Binnie industrial culture, tattooing and body modification, ritual, and religion. Jennifer Doyle

Robert Wilson F O R N O A Y E H T At long last, Dominic Johnson’s book begins the dauntingly exhilarating task of assessing the richly provocative art of Ron Athey. Incorporating Athey’s own prose version of his extraordinary childhood, astute critical essays, and moving appreciations from other artists, Pleading in the Blood advances Performance Studies and Art History by forging a mode of commentary expansive enough to address an artist who consistently works to expand the intricate drama of human embodiment. Athey’s art n o s n h o j c i n i m o d y b d e t i d e refuses the usual distinctions between pleasure and pain, or faith and doubt, and has been both blamed and celebrated for its radical inquiries into the limits and possibilities of queer bodies. Athey emerges from these pages as one of the most compelling theatre artists of our time. Peggy Phelan, Stanford University

Honest, pure, generous, uncompromising... a baptism by fire. Robert Wilson, artist and Director of The Watermill Center

In his bloody self-obliterations, Ron Athey reveals the profound enigma of the body as a primary location of SELF. His flesh is a source of Life and a source of Death. Athey creates vital images drenched with human violence; his blood is spilled to placate our fear of the unknown and of mortality. Yet his performances are also implicit celebrations. Genesis BREYER P-ORRIDGE, artist and cultural engineer

8 Performance Art in Ireland: A History Ed. Áine Phillips

“The collection makes a convincing case for the distinctiveness of Irish performance art, arising from the manner in which performance allowed artists in Ireland to address the specificity of their political, cultural and historical situation. Given the prominence of Ireland- based performance artists and their political, cultural and historical situation. Given the prominence of Ireland-based performance artists and their prolific output, a publication such as this is long overdue.”

- Heike Roms, Professor in Performance Studies, Aberystwyth University

Live Art Development Agency and Intellect Books, 2015

This book, the first devoted to the history and contemporary forms of Irish performance art in the north and south of Ireland, brings together contributions by prominent Irish artists and major academics. It features rigorous critical and theoretical analysis as well as historical commentaries that provide an absorbing sense of the rich histories of performance art in Ireland.

Presenting diverse visual documentation of performance art practices, this collection shows how performance art in Ireland engaged with—and in turn influenced and led—contemporary performance and Live Art internationally.

Contributors: André Stitt, Karine Talec, Amanda Coogan, Anthony Sheehan, Danny McCarthy, Megs Morley, EL Putnam, Kate Antosik-Parsons, Helena Walsh, Michelle Browne, Fergus Byrne, Cliodhna Shaffrey, Áine Phillips

Áine Phillips is a performance artist and head of sculpture at Burren College of Art at the National University of Ireland, Galway.

9 Double Exposures Manuel Vason

“Vason truly collaborates with his performance colleagues. His work debunks the traditional binary of photographer/model, and instead gives equal creative agency to each individual participating in the experiment.”

Guillermo Gómez-Peña, performance artist

Live Art Development Agency and Intellect Books, 2015

Double Exposures is a new collaborative venture between Manuel Vason and forty of the most visually arresting artists working with performance in the UK.

Ten years after his first, groundbreaking book, Exposures, Vason has produced another extraordinary body of work, which sets out new ways of bridging performance and photography.

For Double Exposures, Vason has worked with two groups of artists, using two distinct types of collaboration, to produce a series of double images.

Artists who had previously worked with Vason were invited to create two images, one of their own practice and another, where they took on the role of the photographer, shaping an image with Vason’s body. A second group of new collaborators were invited to create a performance, which could be captured in two photographs. All the images exist as doubles – pairs – diptychs.

In photography, a ‘double exposure’ can be accidental or deliberate. Both types permeate Double Exposures, making it Manuel Vason’s most ambitious project to date.

Double Exposures is edited by David Evans and includes an interview with Helena Blacker and commissioned essays by David Bate, David Evans, Dominic Johnson, Lois Keidan, Alice Maude- Roxby, Adrien Sina, Chris Townsend and Joanna Zylinska.

10 Life II [in Progress] Janez Janša

Maska, the International Centre of Graphic Arts Ljubljana and Live Art Development Agency, 2014

Life II [in Progress] is based on an ongoing, long-term project that repeats a single-staged sequence year in and year out.The publication accompanies a group of women through pregnancy and motherhood, creating full-figure images which confront the viewer. These images of naked, pregnant women and nursing mothers with their children arouse feelings of joy and empathy whilst at the same time expresses uncertainty by their repetition and lack of completion, raising fundamental, existential questions as to why and how to live.

“There is a deeply philosophical, and melancholic, dimension to the way in which Janša flirts with the oblivion of time by defining a project that involves the staging of a situation repeatedly into an unknowable future. Far more than a simple art encounter (whatever that may mean), the project in its iterations – as staged, live event as well as life-sized photographs – unfolds over time as an opportunity for engaging not only with other bodies, including the radically strange bodies of pregnant women, but with our own aging and mortality.” Amelia Jones, 2014

Contributors include Adrian Heathfield, Tim Etchells, Mladen Dolar, Amelia Jones and Aldo Milohnic with full-colour images by Nada Žgank and design by Ajdin Bašic.

11 re.act.feminism #2 - a performing archive Bettina Knaup and Beatrice Ellen Stammer

Live Art Development Agency and Verlag fur Moderne Kunst, 2013

This publication is based upon the touring exhibition project re.act.feminism #2 – a performing archive, an expanding, temporary and living performance archive that travelled through six European countries from 2011 to 2013.

It explores feminist, gender-critical and queer performance art, which played a key role in the development of performance. The project brought together works by over 180 artists and artist collectives from the 1960s to the beginning of the 1980s, as well as contemporary positions from Eastern and Western Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the USA and Latin America.

With essays by curators and scholars Kathrin Becker, Mathias Danbolt, Eleonora Fabião, Bettina Knaup, Laima Kreivyte, Laurence Rassel, Angelika Richter, Oxana Sarkisyan, Rebecca Schneider, Mare Tralla, Linda Valdés, Reet Varblane and more than 200 illustrations.

Pleading in the Blood includes three newly commissioned essays on different aspects of Athey’s work by Adrian Heathfield, Amelia Jones, and Dominic Johnson. These scholarly essays are complemented by shorter texts by Homi K. Bhabha, Jennifer Doyle, Tim Etchells, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Matthew Goulish, Lydia Lunch, Juliana Snapper, Julie Tolentino, Alex Binnie, Catherine (Saalfield) Gund, Bruce LaBruce and Catherine Opie, along with a hand-written text from Robert Wilson.

13 New DVDs HINCH: A film about Ian Hinchliffe Matt Page

Ian Hinchliffe (1942-2011) was a performer who could bring a sense of menace, unpredictability and absurd humour into any creative arena. Hinchliffe hated the bland: life to him was an adventure and he pursued it with an insatiable, dangerous and playful delight with little distinction between on and off stage. His impromptu HINCH performances took place in the street, on public transport systems, in social clubs, art centres/laboratories, theatres, summer festivals, pubs, once in a consecrated church and, God help us, even the odd art gallery.

HINCH developed from the organisation and documentation of a Memorial for Hinchliffe held at Beaconsfield in London in 2012, and from the ongoing process of collecting and finding a safe space to house the Hinchliffe archive. The Memorial was filmed by Matt Page. Subsequently, more live footage of Ian performing across the 1970s, 80s and 90s was discovered and fellow artists and curators were interviewed. This film is a compilation of all these things and offers an introduction to the strange and wonderful world of Ian Hinchliffe.

“I LOVE THIS FILM. The best of the best performers in the western world keeping watch at their post on the vanguard. This isn’t pop culture b.s. THIS IS FUCKING ART!”

Justin Vivian Bond, artist

Performance Matters, 2013

How to use your video camera to change the world... or create your own

Queer and alternative artists and performers using moving images to talk back to the mainstream, reach out to fellow freaks and explore stranger regions of fantasy.

The video revolution of the 1970s offered unprecedented access to the moving image for artists and performers. This Is Not a Dream explores the legacies of this revolution and its continued impact on contemporary art and performance. Charting a path across four decades of avant- garde experiment and radical escapism, This Is Not a Dream traces the influences of Andy Warhol, John Waters and Jack Smith to the perverted frontiers of YouTube and Chatroulette, taking in subverted talk shows and soap operas, streetwalker fashions and glittery magic penises along the way.

Featuring Dickie Beau, Dara Birnbaum, Nao Bustamante, Vaginal Davis, Cole escola, Vincent Fremont, Alp Haydar, Holestar, David Hoyle, Kalup Linzy, Glenn O’Brien and Scottee. booklet with film notes and an essay by Gavin Butt and Ben Walters.

16 Party for Freedom Oreet Ashery

“Party for Freedom achieved an immense and difficult task as an iconoclastic project. There is no mould yet for these ideas! Spectacular!”

Cherry Smyth, writer

Performance Matters, 2013

Party for Freedom explores the potentials and dilemmas of liberation in a culture at odds with itself, drawing upon histories of experimental performance, theatre and film, satire, biopolitics and popular media.

Party for Freedom looks at freedom as a deeply conflicted and contradictory entity, by responding to the freedom rhetoric of the far-right, whilst reflecting upon the historical baggage of the left-wing and ethos of the cultural avant-garde through whitish nakedness, unresolved revolutions and indigenous appropriations of spirituality.

The Party for Freedom DVD has been created as a representation and collation of the Party for Freedom project through documentation of immersive live events, live music concerts, live performances and a large-scale three-screen video installation.

17 No Such Thing As Rest: A Walk with Brian Massumi Hugo Glendinning and Adrian Heathfield

“Capturing thought in the moving image is notoriously difficult. To witness thinking itself is to make something very different from the standard ‘in conversation’, however acclaimed the speaker. Performance Dialogues face this challenge head-on. A series really without precedent, it seeks to present ideas in action, as they unfold in the key sites of their hugely influential protagonists – city apartment, house-museum, contested street. Poised between intellectual narrative and place-work, each film finds a distinctive style and a language suitable to its subject, while remaining always engaged, empathetic and concerned, finally, with the most pressing business: how to live in such times.”

Gareth Evans, Film Curator, 2013

Performance Matters, 2013

In this relaxed but intensive exchange Massumi discusses the nature of events, their sensuous and affective forces, immaterial art practices and their critical potential under capitalism, belief and hope and their relation to political agency. Charged ideas are quietly elaborated against a vibrant, restless backdrop of everyday life.

Brian Massumi is the author of major works in contemporary philosophy including Parables for the Virtual: Movement, Affect, Sensation and Semblance and Event: Activist Philosophy and the Occurrent Arts. He is also the translator of significant works of French philosophy including Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus, Jean-François Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition, and Jacques Attali’s Noise.

18 Transfigured Night: A Conversation with Alphonso Lingis Hugo Glendinning and Adrian Heathfield

Gareth Evans, Film Curator, 2013

Performance Matters, 2013

Transfigured Nightassembles a rich patchwork of fragments taken from a two day dialogue in the philosopher’s house near Baltimore in which Lingis makes dynamic forays into thoughts that have preoccupied him in over forty years as a writer and traveller, drawing on his influences in phenomenology and ethics, and his extensive encounters with many places and cultures.

The discussion moves from questions of the face and gaze of others, the sensual experiences of weight and being touched, through considerations of performance, sculpture and dance, to meditations on mortality and suffering.

Alphonso Lingis is the author of fourteen major works over the last forty years, including The Community of Those Who Have Nothing in Common, The Imperative, Dangerous Emotions, Trust, and Violence and Splendor. He is also the preeminent English translator of the works of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Levinas. He is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Penn State University.

Contains booklet with transcribed text.

19 This is Performance Art Mel Brimfield

“With her hilarious but affectionate deflation of performative pomposity, Brimfield has done for the history of performance art what Henry Reed’s fictional composer Hilda Tablet did for modern music on the Third Programme in the 1950s, what the inimitable entertainers Anna Russell and Joan Turner did for opera, and what the comedian Billy Dainty did for classical ballet.”

Art Monthly

Performance Matters, 2013

Part One - Performed Sculpture and Dance Part Two - Experimental Theatre and Cabaret

The first two episodes of Mel Brimfield’s multi-part fictional television documentary series mark the fragmentary and unreliable nature of performance art’s historical record. Low-end showbiz memoirs, sensationalist biographical documentaries and cheap-to-make TV clip programmes compiling lists of ‘The 100 Top/Best/Greatest…’ are referenced alongside the faulty mechanics of museological, archival and curatorial approaches to assimilating live art. The result is a comedic performative critique of performance art historiographies.

Contains booklet with an introduction by Sir Francis Spalding and excerpts from Genital Panic.

21 A Contemporary Struggle Jamila Johnson-Small and Alexandrina Hemsley

Live Art Development Agency, 2013

A Contemporary Struggle is a collection of texts and images that respond to the dance duet O.

Choreographed by Hemsley & Johnson-Small, O is a dance that works to resist the objectifying tendencies of performer/spectator relationships, the gaze on the female body and reductive notions of race.

A Contemporary Struggle elaborates on these themes: examining discourses around race and female sexuality. Both O and A Contemporary Struggle are part of Hemsley & Johnson-Small’s ongoing collaboration, Project O.

DVDs 25 Dear Stranger, I love you: the ethics of community in Rajni Shah Projects’ Glorious Becky Edmunds, Mary Paterson, et al

Lancaster University and the Live Art Development Agency, 2013

Dear Stranger, I love you offers an in-depth exploration of artist Rajni Shah’s Glorious, an experimental performance project that began with a series of conversations between strangers and ended in a large-scale theatre production involving local residents and musicians in each location where it was presented.

The publication brings together four ways of looking at Glorious: a short film made in response to six performances of Glorious by filmmaker Becky Edmunds; a music video shot in and around Lancaster and Morecambe by Lucy Cash; a critical overview of the process behind two iterations of the project by Elizabeth Lynch; and The Glorious Storybook, a collection of memories from throughout the process, edited and contextualised by writer Mary Paterson.

The publication is designed to reflect a process of letter-writing between strangers that lay at the heart of the project, and is packaged within a cover that can be posted directly to each recipient, resulting in a uniquely personalised book cover each time it is sent out.

26 Documenting Live Eds. David A Bailey, Lois Keidan and Rajni Shah

“If, by its very creation, Documenting Live highlights the growing gap whereby mapping and documentation is fast being out-paced by the speedy trajectory of the art-form itself, it has already succeeded in alluding to the disappearance and loss of history which has gone before, and of the potential loss of work still to come. It succeeds on many more levels than this however – through retrospection, it begins to join the historical dots of Live Art’s roots, and as a result equips a new generation of artists, writers, critics and curators with a culturally contextualised map, by which to navigate forward, into new, uncharted territory.”

AN Interface, 2008

Live Art Development Agency, 2008

Commissioned by the Live Art Development Agency this unique publication and DVD resource represents and illustrates the work of 13 artists from the 1990s and 2000s, and places Live Art practices that are informed by questions of cultural identity within critical and historical frameworks.

27 Live: Art and Performance Ed. Adrian Heathfield

“Beautiful, intellectually interesting and engaging. The essays are excellent, varied and well-informed.”

Performance Research, 2004

Tate Publishing, 2004

Live Art, or performance, is one of the most controversial and hotly discussed areas of art practice to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century. The history of Live Art is one of challenge to audiences, art traditions and cultural values.

Leading artists and thinkers assess the relevance of Live Art now and its impact within the visual arts and the broader cultural sphere. Hugo Glendinning’s stunning colour photographs of performance events are combined with numerous essays examining the political, philosophical and cultural resonances of the work of a diverse range of international Live artists, both historical and contemporary.

Contributors: Marina Abramovic, Ron Athey, Franko B, Bobby Baker, Lucy Baldwyn, Michèle Barrett, Jèrôme Bel, Romeo Castellucci, Brian Catling, Oron Catts, Julie Clarke, Ricardo Dominguez, Tim Etchells, Jean Fisher, Forced Entertainment, Goat Island, RoseLee Goldberg, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Matthew Goulish, Lin Hixson, Amelia Jones, Joe Kelleher, Yu Yeon Kim, Oleg Kulik, André Lepecki, Alastair MacLennan, Hayley Newman, Peggy Phelan, La Pocha Nostra, William Pope L., Andrew Quick, Alan Read, La Ribot, Henry M.

28 Marcia Farquhar’s 12 Shooters Marcia Farquhar

“12 Shooters will be of enduring value to generations of artists fortunate enough to get hold of a copy. Entertaining and scholarly, 12 Shooters dismantles the form of most publications that document a distinguished artist's practice and elucidates the ways in which a once only conceptual performance might haunt and possess an entirely new body of work. In this sense 12 Shooters is also a conceptual biography, an intimate conversation between the artist and those who have been invited to reimagine the secrets and pleasures of her performing persona. Most dazzling of all, 12 Shooters succeeds in being a critically engaging archive that is on side with the stray thoughts and unexpected philosophical conundrums of every day lived experience that have always been Marcia Farquhar's subject.”

Deborah Levy, writer, 2009

Live Art Development Agency, 2009

An in-depth document of Marcia Farquhar’s collaborative 12 Shooters project (2007) – 13 short films, each directed by a different artist-filmmaker, and each derived from a different work from the past 12 years of Farquhar’s practice. In all cases, Farquhar gave a pre-arranged performance for camera, and all editorial control to the filmmaker.

This cloth-bound volume contains a foreword by Stuart Brisley, essays by Peter Suchin, Tony Grisoni, Mark Harris and Alice Maude-Roxby, and extensive notes on the work by Marcia Farquhar, J. Maizlish and the various collaborating ‘shooters’: Zoë Brown, Bruce + Marshall, Jem Finer, Judith Goddard, Dryden Goodwin, Andrew Kötting, Trine Lise Nedreaas, Saskia Olde Wolbers, Uriel Orlow, Tom Paine, Sarah Pucill, Tal Sterngast and Gary Stevens.

The book also includes full-colour film stills, production stills, preparatory drawings and contextual documentation. Designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio. Supported by Arts Council England.

29 Out of Now The Lifeworks of Tehching Hsieh Adrian Heathfield and Tehching Hsieh

“This impressive and beautifully written book offers the first comprehensive study of an outstanding body of work. An extraordinary performance!”

Hans Ulrich Obrist, writer and curator, 2010

Live Art Development Agency and The MIT Press, 2009

Out of Now is the first major publication on the extraordinary and influential Taiwanese- American artist Tehching Hsieh. In the vibrant downtown Manhattan art scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tehching Hsieh made an exceptional series of artworks: five separate one-year-long performances that were unprecedented in their use of physical difficulty over extreme durations and in their absolute conception of art and life as simultaneous processes. After years of near-invisibility Hsieh has now collaborated with the writer and curator Adrian Heathfield to create this meticulous and visually arresting record of the complete body of his artworks from 1978-1999.

Out of Now is the first extensive critical account of these remarkable works. Heathfield’s astute meditation is complemented by an intensive exchange with the artist and a set of letters from leading art theorists Peggy Phelan and Carol Becker, and the internationally acclaimed artists Marina Abramovic, Santiago Sierra, and Tim Etchells.

30 Perform Repeat Record Live Art in History Eds. Amelia Jones & Adrian Heathfield

“… in its exhaustive presentation of different types of performances, documentation, and critical approaches, it suggests a way of reading performance that is no longer beholden to modernist notions of transgression, transformation, and the avant-garde.”

PAJ, 2013

Intellect in collaboration with the Live Art Development Agency, 2012

Bringing together contributors from dance, theatre, visual studies, and art history, Perform, Repeat, Record addresses the conundrum of how Live Art is positioned within history.

Set apart from other art forms in that it may never be performed in precisely the same way twice, ephemeral artwork exists both at the time of its staging and long after in the memories of its spectators and their testimonies, as well as in material objects, visual media and text.

These multiple occurrences and iterations offer new critical possibilities for thinking and writing histories of performance. Among the artists, theorists and historians who contributed to this volume are Marina Abramovic, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Rebecca Schneider, Boris Groys, Jane Blocker, Carolee Schneemann, Tehching Hsieh, Orlan, Tilda Swinton, and Jean-Luc Nancy.

Live Art Development Agency and Oberon Books, 2013

The Live Art Almanac Volume 3 is a collection of ‘found’ writings about and around Live Art that were originally published, shared, sent, spread and read between January 2010 and December 2011. Selected from an open call for submissions and produced with a network of international partners, Volume 3 reflects the dynamic, international contexts in which Live Art and radical performance-based practices are taking place and the many ways they are being written about.

Volume 3 features more traditional forms of writing such as newspaper reviews, journal articles, catalogue essays and lecture texts as well as new platforms for critical discourses like blogs, tweets and other emergent online media, to reflect the huge diversity of work and the seismic shifts that have happened in Live Art over the last few years, particularly the unprecedented institutional embrace of performance and the rise and rise of activist practices.

The publication is grouped into seven loosely themed sections: Performance and the Institution; The Presence of Performance in Pop Culture and New Media; Performance, Activism and Public Protest; Taste, Trash and Outrageousness; On Stage/Off Stage: Performance and the Theatrical; Festivals, Scenes and Strategies: From the Local to the Global; and obituaries, lectures and miscellaneous writings.

38 While You Are With Us Here Tonight Tim Etchells

“For those familiar with Tim Etchells’ genre spanning and, to some extent, genre defying work, the unconventional format of his most recent publication will come as no surprise. This does not, however, diminish any delight on encountering the strange flesh of While You Are With Us Here Tonight, as its pages attempt to stitch together an energetic corpus that is otherwise known as Etchells’ artistic practice.”

A-N, 2013

Live Art Development Agency, 2013

While You Are With Us Here Tonight is a publication by artist Tim Etchells, whose work shifts between performance, visual art and fiction.

Arising from his ‘Legacy: Thinker in Residence Award’ from the Live Art Development Agency and Tate Research, the book reflects on questions of legacy, archive and memory, in relation to the artist’s own practise and the times in which it has developed.

While You Are With Us Here Tonight is organised around a text from the 2001 performance First Night, a landmark project for the Sheffield-based group Forced Entertainment, which Etchells has led since its inception in 1984. Using this single text from the archive as a point of departure, the book reflects on Etchells’ work, both alone and with the group, as well as exploring wider ideas and questions concerning contemporary performance and documentation.

40 4 x 4 Screens Wrights & Sites / Stephen Hodge

Live Art Development Agency, 2013

4 x 4 Screens is a series of four evolving walking-video experiments (2005-2007) exploring time, distance and the framing of space and place.

Each 60-90 minute video uses a split-screen format to capture different strategies for spatial reconnaissance employed by the four members of Wrights & Sites as they drift a series of parallel landscapes. Sometimes walking with guest camera-operators, sometimes carrying the cameras themselves; sometimes in different locations, sometimes together within one landscape; sometimes recorded simultaneously, sometimes one after the other…each exhibits playful tensions between walkers (who decide where and how to go) and camera operators (who decide what to focus on), as well as chance connections and collisions between each of the 4 screens.

These works have had limited public exposure and have not been grouped together before.

The intention of the DVD is to continue the processes of memorising and repeating rights. Video extracts from different recitations are offered as examples for imagining the potential for developing and presenting new and further recitations by other people, both with the artist and as independent initiatives. Towards this, the DVDs include: a video introduction by the artist; video and stills of more than 200 people reciting Articles in 30 languages in contexts from the House of Commons to Brighton Seafront; an entire recitation of the Declaration’s Preamble and 30 Articles by 54 artists in 17 languages at Beaconsfield in 2009.

51 M21: From the Medieval to the 21st Century DASH and Live Art Development Agency

“In combination, the essays and DVD leave the performances intangible, an idea. As such, M21: From the Medieval to the 21st Century highlights the immediate and temporary nature of Live Art. One of the main assets of this release is its date: it was published by the end of 2012, and thus can build on a memory of the Cultural Olympiad that is still fresh. Rather than trying to recapture fully one of the spectacular Unlimited commissions, it provides alternative points of view, extends the artworks and creates new art. As such, it does not predominantly offer reflection on the Unlimited commissions, but puts the focus on an expansion of the work.”

Contemporary Theatre Review, 2013

Live Art Development Agency, 2012

M21: From the Medieval to the 21st Century was a May 2012 Bank Holiday weekend of Live Art events by some of the UK’s most radical disabled artists on the streets and in the surroundings of Much Wenlock, the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games.

Produced by DASH (Disability Arts in Shropshire) in collaboration with the Live Art Development Agency, M21 brought together the history of this small Shropshire town with the politics of Live Art through specially commissioned performances by sean burn, The Disabled Avant-Garde, Invalid Film Crew, Noemi Lakmaier, Simon Mckeown, Alan McLean, Tanya Raabe, The Wandering Jew and Ann Whitehurst.

This publication includes the featured artists’ writings and images, commissioned essays by Diana Damian and Emma Geliot and a DVD of films by the Invalid Film Crew from Croatia, created both as part of M21 and as documentation of M21.

M21 was commissioned by the Unlimited programme, part of the London 2012 Festival and Cultural Olympiad.

57 Somewhere Near Variety Tim Etchells and Adrian Heathfield

Live Art Development Agency in collaboration with Forced Entertainment, 2006

In a series of letters composed to each other and delivered to camera, artist Tim Etchells and writer Adrian Heathfield examine what underlies their shared interest in the notion and forms of Variety. In this eclectic and evocative exchange their dialogue ranges through sources as diverse as memories of childhood, Saturday night TV of the 1970s and 1980s, Bruce Forsythe, Morecambe and Wise, Laurence Olivier in John Osborne’s The Entertainer, Tommy Cooper, cabaret performance, found photography and the performance works of Forced Entertainment. Turning over each other’s thoughts on Variety they come to examine the nature of entertainment, laughter, mortality, exoticism and the tireless re-cycling of forms.

61 Writing Not Yet Thought Hélène Cixous with Adrian Heathfield

Gareth Evans, Film Curator, 2013

Performance Matters, 2011

In this exchange the acclaimed and prolific author Hélène Cixous discusses the practice of writing - considering fiction, theatre, the essay and poetry - alongside its relation to painting, music and philosophy. As the dialogue with Adrian Heathfield evolves, writing emerges as a site and instrument for encounters with other voices and otherness, mortality and mystery, the infinite and the ‘not yet thought’.

Recorded in Cixous’ home in Paris, the conversation is punctuated by various interruptions and affinities (animal and familial) that are taken into the movement of her thought. Cixous’ discourse flies between subjects as diverse as the song of the poetic, the temporality of invention, the re-thinking of the tragic, and the word becoming flesh and air in theatre.

Package contains booklet with text.

62 Xenon David Bickerstaff + Mikhail Karikis

Mikhail Karikis and Live Art Development Agency, 2012

The film Xenon is a poignant political allegory based on a performance art opera by artist Mikhail Karikis. Using the original score and performers. Karikis and the artist/filmmaker David Bickerstaff come together in a collaboration to produce a cinematic experience melding experimental film, performance art and contemporary opera.

The unusual absence of a colleague triggers reactions in seven workers in an austere office. Yearning to overcome their oppressive routine, each character enters a psychic space to battle with censorship, aspirations and failure. Haunted by a wandering zombie and a blistering figure in the basement, the dystopian workplace is contrasted with sequences of reverie where each character searches for her/his voice, freedom of speech, dignity and human rights.

The film features performances by dancer and choreographer Maurice Causey, vocalists Amy Cunningham and E.laine, viola player Conail Gleeson, Juice Vocal Ensemble, Jade Pybus, artists Monica Ross and Mikhail Karikis.
