AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY IN REAL TIME: PERFORMANCE ART IN QUEBEC AND CANADA

Vernissage – jeudi 3 septembre, 17 h

This exhibition at Artexte is part of a long term university research project initiated by UQAM's Art History Department. It's aim is to gather, archive and subsequently take account of the publications and literature by theorists, critics, artists and curators, and written as introductions, reactions and responses to performance art. Artexte’s exhibition space, transformed into a research and discussion hub, gives visitors insight to how performance art in Québec and Canada, over the last 75 years has developed, by consulting an annotated bibliography and a selection of documents chosen by local and national artists involved in performance based art practices.

With a selection of documents by: Tim Clark, Sylvie Cotton, Doyon/Demers, Guy Sioui Durand, Michelle Lacombe, Tanya Lukin Linklater, Tanya Mars & Johanna Householder, Clive Robertson, Alain-Martin Richard.
