Performing Bodies

Tate Modern, London

Tate Modern presents four evenings of film and video projections by artists working in the arena of performance. Each programme juxtaposes art film classics with contemporary works.

Artists include Yoko Ono, Derek Jarman, Laurie Anderson, Gilbert and George, Sam Taylor-Wood, Sarah Lucas, Yves Klein and Joseph Beuys.

Monday 2 October, 19.30

Body Politic
Idealisation, power, revolution and dissent - the body has provided a potent vehicle of representation for all these ideological states, be it as symbol of oppression or liberation. This programme moves from seductive yet lethal Aryan fantasies of physical perfection to anarchic adventures in the city.

Monday 9 October, 19.30

Masquerade
The use of prosthetics, masks or make-up can transofrm the body into a sculpture. Putting on a costume or an attitude are also strategies for creating a new identity and liberating the self.

Monday 16 October, 19.30
Empire of the Senses
The artists included here locate experience in physical sensation centring on the body as register of pain, pleasure and perception, or, inspired by dance, using the body as a co-ordinate in a spatial and temporal environment. Others reveal the poetic and symbolic meanings of physical gesture.

Monday 23 October, 19.30

Ecstatic Repetition
In religiious or seceular ritual, Eastern and Western cultures have used meditation, mind-altering drugs, repetitious gestures such as incantations, even spinning to achieve ecstacy. This programme takes the viewers into the outer limits of experience with works that can both traumatic and liberating. Some work in this programme might be unsuitable children.
