Reception: Friday 13 January, 7pm

Performance in Frames: Video Mobiles is an exhibition of performance art specifically made for film. Performance Art is typically defined as a genre that has to be experienced spatially and in real time, with all our senses. However, we often end up viewing performances which have been recorded or documented as videos, or photographic stills.

This exhibition is about artists who create performances for the camera, not as documentation, but as works of art. It explores the extent to which various forms of performance influence the subject, content and presentation of art. Investigating the differences between video art, moving images, live performance art which is recorded, and performances made specifically for celluloid, this exhibition will highlight the similarities and differences between these distinct, yet related, modalities.

The following artists are participating in this group exhibition:
