Evolutions of the Performance Aesthetic
One of the hotly debated current issues is the turn by visual artists towards theatre as a way of working, by using plays, acting and rehearsal techniques for their art. The first of the new “Performance Ideas” books by PAJ, this volume includes playwright and curator Paul David Young in dialogue with many crossover artists, including Pablo Helguera, Liz Magic Laser, David Levine, Janet Cardiff, Alix Pearlstein, and Michael Smith, who offer wide-ranging views on performance, video, photography, and sound.

newARTtheatre Panel 1
John Kelly, Liz Magic Laser, David Levine, and Alix Pearlstein discuss their work and its relationship to theater. As art appropriates theater, how does the aesthetics of performance evolve? Illuminating their own work and practices, the newARTtheater panelists will address virtuosity, the performance text, institutional critique, the social conditions of performance, presence, the critical reception of ARTtheater, and the politics of the body.
