On liveness: Pre/during/post
Tate Modern, London
The first event in the new Talks series aims to address several key questions about the nature of performance
Talks is a new series of four public events that complements the BMW Tate Live Performance Room and Performance Events series, examining ideas and concepts around performance and notions of liveness. Bringing together perspectives from art practice, theory, theatre, social science, digital design and beyond, through a series of discussions, conversations and open workshops, Talks interrogates the space between live and mediated experiences of performance. This series is developed by Cecilia Wee, independent curator, in collaboration with Sandra Sykorova and Marko Daniel, Curators of Public Programmes at Tate Modern. "On liveness: Pre/during/post" is the first event in the new Talks series aims to address several key questions about the nature of performance and the notion of liveness, arising from the ongoing BMW Tate Live Performance Room and Performance Events programme at Tate. How can performance challenge how we think about time and space? How do we keep the live event alive? What challenges does performance invite in how we think about time and space? The evening opens with a provocation filmed specially for the event from journalist and broadcaster Jon Snow. Speakers include author of Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture Philip Auslander, experimental director and performer Fiona Templeton and BMW Tate Live artist Cally Spooner. Chaired by contemporary art curator and critic Chantal Pontbriand. (Image: Hayley Newman, Volcano Lady 2007)
