Moments

de Peter Weibel, Georg Schöllhammer, Sigrid Gareis

New forms for the exhibition and documentation of performance have been developed and tested at ZKM Karlsruhe based on the question of the presentability of historical live performance art pieces. Works by Marina Abramovic, Graciela Carnevale, Simone Forti, Anna Halprin, Channa Horwitz, Sanja Ivekovic, Adrian Piper and Yvonne Rainer, which are today considered revolutionary milestones of performance, are reinterpreted with the assistance of the attendant artists and in dialogue with performers of the younger generation. This publication documents this process in the exhibition space in a richly illustrated photo section and combines it with a fundamental theoretical reassessment of the topic, with thirteen essays exploring the position of current research on performance in the area of dance and visual art.0Exhibition: ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany (08.03.-29.04.2013). 0.
