Following on from A Short History of Performance Art join us for a seminar that explores the challenges of collecting an art form which by its very nature is ephemeral and resists commodification. An expert panel, including Teresa Calonje (co-founder of ‘Collecting Live Art’) and performance artist Hayley Newman, will debate the issues, asking how and why it should be collected.
Collecting Performance Art is presented as part of Between – a programme of newly commissioned performance works curated by Louise Adkins, associate curator The International 3, in partnership with MIRIAD and Cornerhouse.
