Making live art!

Thursday 3 March 10AM STUDO 20 LORENZO FUSI WILL GIVE A TALK/WORKSHOP ON CURATING YOUR DEGREE SHOW ATTENDACNE IS COMPULSORY Hi All, Lorenzo Fusi will be holding a talk/workshop for you all on the morning of Thursday 3 March. This will begin at 10am in Studio 20. In the afternoon Lorenzo will be in the Main Fine Art Studio to talk to you about your work. Please be there on Thursday at 10am. This is not optional and a register will be taken. After this, Lorenzo will be running his seminars with you towards the end of March. Patricia and I will inform you in good time of the exact times and dates  of these Seminars/Meetings etc. At your last meeting, Lorenzo suggested a task that he would like each of you to undertake in preparation for your Degree Show. Lorenzo will be happy to clarify any details in his meeting with you on Thursday Morning. Degree Show Task – Set by Lorenzo Fusi I would like each of you to re-do/re-enact/re-interpret one seminal (in your opinion) performance by an artist of your choice. The form and/or modality of the action naturally depends on the project you choose and I will expect to be notified which performance you would like to remake via email by March the 11th. You will need to send me the name of the artist, the title and the year and brief description of the performance of choice - a brief summary of how you intend to do it, where (and to fill out a risk assessment if necessary). You will each have 15/20 minutes to present your performance when we do the seminars together. This time will include discussion afterwards. Your performance can be live (but time is tight) or presented as a documentation of what you have already done (in which case I want you to think about how it is best to document a live action and transmit the feelings as well as the information. You can do it wherever you want (I tend to favour public spaces with occasional or invited audiences) and when you want but the experience has to be presented in class. If it is a durational piece that you want to stage at the faculty or elsewhere (say hours of work) we shall go and see it only for 15 minutes and speak about it when the action is finished. The important thing will be how to think about this task and to discuss how you think that you can take advantage of this challenge in your practice - and try to relate it to your existing body of work.
