Performance Research 7(3): On Fluxus (2002)

“To mark the 40th anniversary of the first Fluxus festival in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the 30th anniversary of Fluxshoe which toured England with a series of performances, concerts, and exhibitions (1972–3), ‘On Fluxus’ continues the volume theme of ‘textualities, scores and documents’ and focuses on the relationship of writing and textuality to Fluxus. Fluxus was an international community of artists, architects, designers, and composers described as ‘the most radical and experimental art movement of the 1960s’. As a laboratory of experimental art, Fluxus was the first locus of intermedia, concept art, events, and video, and a central influence on performance art, arte povera, and mail art.”

Revista Arta (14-15): Performance in Eastern Europe (2015) [Romanian/English]

Special dossier of the magazine.

“Under such names as happening, processual or performative art, situationist or contextual art, actionism or corporal / body art, performance art has remained since the 1960s maybe the most direct, incisive, and cutting-edge form of artistic expression of the last decades. Positioned at the cross-point between the visual, the discursive, and the theatrical, involving the artist with his/her entire physical, psychological, and spiritual being, in front of the public or together with it, performance art has not yet run out of resources in the context of the last years, when other forms of visual intervention have become more fashionable. Since the 1960s, performance art has represented a form of protest of the artists against the aesthetic establishment, accelerated muzeification, and the consumerism of the art market. The dossier coordinated by Ileana Pintilie demonstrates all these assertions, but also underlines the emancipating dimension performance art has had in the former communist countries of Eastern Europe – the fascination and fear which totalitarian regimes developed in front of this provocative form of social and artistic non-conformism.”

Scores (2010–)

“With its own publication – Scores – the Tanzquartier Wien is continuing its artistic-theoretical program in another, independent medium. Scores takes artistic research one step further and opens a performative space within the discursive one – in order to facilitate the sustainability of the discourse practised in the house and to serve as an invitation to dialogue.”
