Ron Athey is an iconic figure in the development of contemporary art and performance. In his frequently bloody portrayals of life, death, crisis, and fortitude in the time of AIDS, Athey calls into question the limits of artistic practice. These limits enable Athey to explore key themes including: gender, sexuality, SM and radical sex, queer activism, post-punk and industrial culture, tattooing and body modification, ritual, and religion.

Contributors

Pleading in the Blood: The Art and Performances of Ron Athey presents the first critical overview of this major artist ’s work . It demonstrates how Athey foresaw and precipitated the central place afforded the body and identity politics in art and critical theory in the 1990s and beyond.

PLEADING IN THE BLOOD THE ART AND PERFORMANCES O F R O N AT H E Y edit ed by dominic johnson

edited by dominic johnson

At long last, Dominic Johnson’s book begins the dauntingly exhilarating task of assessing the richly provocative art of Ron Athey. Incorporating Athey’s own prose version of his extraordinary childhood, astute critical essays, and moving appreciations from other artists, Pleading in the Blood advances Performance Studies and Art History by forging a mode of commentary expansive enough to address an artist who consistently works to expand the intricate drama of human embodiment. Athey’s art refuses the usual distinctions between pleasure and pain, or faith and doubt, and has been both blamed and celebrated for its radical inquiries into the limits and possibilities of queer bodies. Athey emerges from these pages as one of the most compelling theatre artists of our time. Peggy Phelan, Stanford University

Matthew Goulish

Honest, pure, generous, uncompromising... a baptism by fire. Robert Wilson, artist and Director of The Watermill Center In his bloody self- obliterations, Ron Athey reveals the profound enigma of the body as a primary location of SELF. His flesh is a source of Life and a source of Death. Athey creates vital images drenched with human violence; his blood is spilled to placate our fear of the unknown and of mortality. Yet his performances are also implicit celebrations. Genesis BRE YER P- ORRIDGE, artist and cultural engineer

The Live Art Almanac: Volume 3 Eds. Lois Keidan and Aaron Wright

Live Art Development Agency and Oberon Books, 2013 The Live Art Almanac Volume 3 is a collection of ‘found’ writings about and around Live Art that were originally published, shared, sent, spread and read between January 2010 and December 2011. Selected from an open call for submissions and produced with a network of international partners, Volume 3 reflects the dynamic, international contexts in which Live Art and radical performance-based practices are taking place and the many ways they are being written about. Volume 3 features more traditional forms of writing such as newspaper reviews, journal articles, catalogue essays and lecture texts as well as new platforms for critical discourses like blogs, tweets and other emergent online media, to reflect the huge diversity of work and the seismic shifts that have happened in Live Art over the last few years, particularly the unprecedented institutional embrace of performance and the rise and rise of activist practices. The publication is grouped into seven loosely themed sections: Performance and the Institution; The Presence of Performance in Pop Culture and New Media; Performance, Activism and Public Protest; Taste, Trash and Outrageousness; On Stage/Off Stage: Performance and the Theatrical; Festivals, Scenes and Strategies: From the Local to the Global; and obituaries, lectures and miscellaneous writings.

Live Art Development Agency, 2013 A Contemporary Struggle is a collection of texts and images that respond to the dance duet O. Choreographed by Hemsley & Johnson-Small, O is a dance that works to resist the objectifying tendencies of performer/spectator relationships, the gaze on the female body and reductive notions of race.

This Is Not a Dream Gavin Butt and Ben Walters

Performance Matters, 2013 How to use your video camera to change the world... or create your own Queer and alternative artists and performers using moving images to talk back to the mainstream, reach out to fellow freaks and explore stranger regions of fantasy. The video revolution of the 1970s offered unprecedented access to the moving image for artists and performers. This Is Not a Dream explores the legacies of this revolution and its continued impact on contemporary art and performance. Charting a path across four decades of avantgarde experiment and radical escapism, This Is Not a Dream traces the influences of Andy Warhol, John Waters and Jack Smith to the perverted frontiers of YouTube and Chatroulette, taking in subverted talk shows and soap operas, streetwalker fashions and glittery magic penises along the way. Featuring Dickie Beau, Dara Birnbaum, Nao Bustamante, Vaginal Davis, Cole escola, Vincent Fremont, Alp Haydar, Holestar, David Hoyle, Kalup Linzy, Glenn Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Scottee. booklet with film notes and an essay by Gavin Butt and Ben Walters.

Party for Freedom Oreet Ashery

Performance Matters, 2013 Party for Freedom explores the potentials and dilemmas of liberation in a culture at odds with itself, drawing upon histories of experimental performance, theatre and film, satire, biopolitics and popular media. Party for Freedom looks at freedom as a deeply conflicted and contradictory entity, by responding to the freedom rhetoric of the far-right, whilst reflecting upon the historical baggage of the left-wing and ethos of the cultural avant-garde through whitish nakedness, unresolved revolutions and indigenous appropriations of spirituality. The Party for Freedom DVD has been created as a representation and collation of the Party for Freedom project through documentation of immersive live events, live music concerts, live performances and a large-scale three-screen video installation. “Party for Freedom achieved an immense and difficult task as an iconoclastic project. There is no mould yet for these ideas! Spectacular!” -- Cherry Smyth, writer Contains booklet with the essay Unfinished Revolution: Oreet Ashery’s Party for Freedom by TJ Demos. RRP - £12.50 (GBP)

No Such Thing As Rest: A Walk with Brian Massumi Hugo Glendinning and Adrian Heathfield

Performance Matters, 2013 In this relaxed but intensive exchange Massumi discusses the nature of events, their sensuous and affective forces, immaterial art practices and their critical potential under capitalism, belief and hope and their relation to political agency. Charged ideas are quietly elaborated against a vibrant, restless backdrop of everyday life. Brian Massumi is the author of major works in contemporary philosophy including Parables for the Virtual: Movement, Affect, Sensation and Semblance and Event: Activist Philosophy and the Occurrent Arts. He is also the translator of significant works of French philosophy including Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus, Jean-François Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition, and Jacques Attali’s Noise.

Transfigured Night: A Conversation with Alphonso Lingis Hugo Glendinning and Adrian Heathfield

Performance Matters, 2013 Transfigured Night assembles a rich patchwork of fragments taken from a two day dialogue in the philosopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house near Baltimore in which Lingis makes dynamic forays into thoughts that have preoccupied him in over forty years as a writer and traveller, drawing on his influences in phenomenology and ethics, and his extensive encounters with many places and cultures. The discussion moves from questions of the face and gaze of others, the sensual experiences of weight and being touched, through considerations of performance, sculpture and dance, to meditations on mortality and suffering. Alphonso Lingis is the author of fourteen major works over the last forty years, including The Community of Those Who Have Nothing in Common, The Imperative, Dangerous Emotions, Trust, and Violence and Splendor. He is also the preeminent English translator of the works of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Levinas. He is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Penn State University.

This is Performance Art Mel Brimfield

Performance Matters, 2013 Part One - Performed Sculpture and Dance Part Two - Experimental Theatre and Cabaret The first two episodes of Mel Brimfield’s multi-part fictional television documentary series mark the fragmentary and unreliable nature of performance art’s historical record. Low-end showbiz memoirs, sensationalist biographical documentaries and cheap-to-make TV clip programmes compiling lists of ‘The 100 Top/Best/Greatest…’ are referenced alongside the faulty mechanics of museological, archival and curatorial approaches to assimilating live art. The result is a comedic performative critique of performance art historiographies. “With her hilarious but affectionate deflation of performative pomposity, Brimfield has done for the history of performance art what Henry Reed’s fictional composer Hilda Tablet did for modern music on the Third Programme in the 1950s, what the inimitable entertainers Anna Russell and Joan Turner did for opera, and what the comedian Billy Dainty did for classical ballet.” -- David Briers, Art Monthly Contains booklet with an introduction by Sir Francis Spalding and excerpts from Genital Panic.

Writing Not Yet Thought Hélène Cixous with Adrian Heathfield

Performance Matters, 2011 In this exchange the acclaimed and prolific author Hélène Cixous discusses the practice of writing - considering fiction, theatre, the essay and poetry - alongside its relation to painting, music and philosophy. As the dialogue with Adrian Heathfield evolves, writing emerges as a site and instrument for encounters with other voices and otherness, mortality and mystery, the infinite and the ‘not yet thought’. Recorded in Cixous’ home in Paris, the conversation is punctuated by various interruptions and affinities (animal and familial) that are taken into the movement of her thought. Cixous’ discourse flies between subjects as diverse as the song of the poetic, the temporality of invention, the re-thinking of the tragic, and the word becoming flesh and air in theatre. Package contains booklet with text. RRP - £12.50 (GBP)

Lancaster University and the Live Art Development Agency, 2013 Dear Stranger, I love you offers an in-depth exploration of artist Rajni Shah’s Glorious, an experimental performance project that began with a series of conversations between strangers and ended in a large-scale theatre production involving local residents and musicians in each location where it was presented.

Leading artists and thinkers assess the relevance of Live Art now and its impact within the visual arts and the broader cultural sphere.

Out of Now The Lifeworks of Tehching Hsieh Adrian Heathfield and Tehching Hsieh

Live Art Development Agency and The MIT Press, 2009 Out of Now is the first major publication on the extraordinary and influential TaiwaneseAmerican artist Tehching Hsieh. In the vibrant downtown Manhattan art scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tehching Hsieh made an exceptional series of artworks: five separate one-year-long performances that were unprecedented in their use of physical difficulty over extreme durations and in their absolute conception of art and life as simultaneous processes. After years of near-invisibility Hsieh has now collaborated with the writer and curator Adrian Heathfield to create this meticulous and visually arresting record of the complete body of his artworks from 1978-1999. Out of Now is the first extensive critical account of these remarkable works. Heathfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s astute meditation is complemented by an intensive exchange with the artist and a set of letters from leading art theorists Peggy Phelan and Carol Becker, and the internationally acclaimed artists Marina Abramovic, Santiago Sierra, and Tim Etchells.

Perform Repeat Record Live Art in History Eds. Amelia Jones & Adrian Heathfield

Intellect in collaboration with the Live Art Development Agency, 2012 Bringing together contributors from dance, theatre, visual studies, and art history, Perform, Repeat, Record addresses the conundrum of how Live Art is positioned within history. Set apart from other art forms in that it may never be performed in precisely the same way twice, ephemeral artwork exists both at the time of its staging and long after in the memories of its spectators and their testimonies, as well as in material objects, visual media and text. These multiple occurrences and iterations offer new critical possibilities for thinking and writing histories of performance. Among the artists, theorists and historians who contributed to this volume are Marina Abramovic, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Rebecca Schneider, Boris Groys, Jane Blocker, Carolee Schneemann, Tehching Hsieh, Orlan, Tilda Swinton, and Jean-Luc Nancy.

While You Are With Us Here Tonight Tim Etchells

Live Art Development Agency, 2013 While You Are With Us Here Tonight is a publication by artist Tim Etchells, whose work shifts between performance, visual art and fiction.

While You Are With Us Here Tonight is organised around a text from the 2001 performance First Night, a landmark project for the Sheffield-based group Forced Entertainment, which Etchells has led since its inception in 1984. Using this single text from the archive as a point of departure, the book reflects on Etchells’ work, both alone and with the group, as well as exploring wider ideas and questions concerning contemporary performance and documentation.

DVDs

4 x 4 Screens Wrights & Sites / Stephen Hodge

Live Art Development Agency, 2013 4 x 4 Screens is a series of four evolving walking-video experiments (2005-2007) exploring time, distance and the framing of space and place. Each 60-90 minute video uses a split-screen format to capture different strategies for spatial reconnaissance employed by the four members of Wrights & Sites as they drift a series of parallel landscapes. Sometimes walking with guest camera-operators, sometimes carrying the cameras themselves; sometimes in different locations, sometimes together within one landscape; sometimes recorded simultaneously, sometimes one after the otherâ&#x20AC;Śeach exhibits playful tensions between walkers (who decide where and how to go) and camera operators (who decide what to focus on), as well as chance connections and collisions between each of the 4 screens. These works have had limited public exposure and have not been grouped together before. RRP - ÂŁ12.50 (GBP)

The film features performances by dancer and choreographer Maurice Causey, vocalists Amy Cunningham and E.laine, viola player Conail Gleeson, Juice Vocal Ensemble, Jade Pybus, artists Monica Ross and Mikhail Karikis.
