Project Perform 0809

Project Perform 0809 was held in Amsterdam from 29 till 31 Jan, 2009.　I went only today but they had a seminar in this afternoon as well as performances in the night.

Speakers were included a performance artist, a coordinator of the performance school and a researcher of contemporary art. The kernel of a story was "performativity". They looked at performance from various perspectives. How to build a relationship with society. Meaning of performance which approaches other disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, education. Differences from installation, visual arts. What would be the strategies for performance. It's pity that in spite of this wide-ranging discussions, it's too short to develop an argument.

In the evening, I also watched several performances by young artists. As well as can be expected. That's OK, I guess.
