** The topic of ARTH 3809 is:
Contemporary Performance Art and Performance Theory

What is performance art? And why does it matter?

Drawing on a range of historical and contemporary performance work, major exhibitions like Marina Abramović’sThe Artist is Present at the MOMA (2010), and critical performance theory, this course investigates some of the predominant themes and issues that are important to performance art: the relationship between art and life, performance and the body, performance and politics, performance and the everyday, performance and performativity, duration, the live event, and performance documentation.

Bringing together both performance art work and performance theory, this course will offer students the opportunity to become familiar with performance art and investigate some of the theoretical issues at stake in contemporary performance work.
