PROCESS AS A WORK OF ART. DURING OUR LIVES SHALL WE DIE
The following constitute the essence of the project entitled Process as a Work of Art. During Our Lives Shall We Die:
* associations between “live art” (performance art) and “living live” (pics or it didn’t happen),* relations between the terms of performativeness and performative image,
* links between “here and now” construed as participation and “here and now” understood as co-observation.
The project aims at a roguish, picaresque research process heading “towards agency”, focusing on the notions of carnivalization, repetition, ANT, performance, documentation-distribution. Adopting such objectives, the project will set out from avant-garde performative actions by such artists as Richard Long, Bruce Nauman, Judith Chicago, Tom Marioni, or Robert Morris.
