just to note a few things about areas for performance research;
research areas;the rubric-
1- a viewer/participant who offers their subjectivity (object, rayograph,story etc) as material for the work
2. an artist/performer who articulates this subjectivity
3.an object, artwork, outcome is created, OR the participant sense that their experience has been objectified
artists-
- tino sehgal- a GREAT one for me as has no documentation no material work (sharp intake of breath...it'll be good for me ;)
- allan kaprow and happenings, michal kirby and non-matrixed theatre
- aernout mix- recent show at camden arts centre

Hello!
Just a thought about this I wanted to share. The notion of giving subjectivity in the form of an object is quite complex. When the subject gives you the object does it not cease to be a 'subject' but an object again in your hands? - The subjectivity of the object is held within its material - the thumb marks on it - the memory of a scratch that the human 'subject' told you about it - the objects smell perhaps? It is a really interesting area with many subtle variations - what defines a subject? Or more pertinently an OBJECTS subjectivity!?
hey rich!
thanks for your comment and sorry for delay- didn't notice it :(
my current work in collaboration with laura in our group is centering on artefacts and stories coming from a participants’ object to ultimately result in the death of the object (therefore it must be agreed it is one they wish to lose); its owners story and the objects physicality is presented/recorded and destroyed, through the exploitation of the processes of traditional and digital photography. this is through exposing its real life personal connection through projected video stories alongside a photographic trace/shadow (photogram) of its physical form/shape/opacity in a staged darkroom. nothing is to survive the event other than memories, the object is surrendered and destroyed, photo and video all consumed in the event.
I hope that is a bit clearer (!) be interested to talk more to you about this and use of objects in performance
By the way, let us know when Galapagos man is on an NRLA-hows that developing? loved it at the MA show- am hoping to make it to glasgow:)
