‘This is the time. And this is the record of the time.’
– Laurie Anderson

Join us across two weekends in September for an exhibition in the Live Art Development Agency’s Study Room featuring performance documentation, performance to camera and video work from LADA’s digital collection presented alongside new works from Devika Bilimoria, Claye Bowler, kane stonestreet, and Sweatmother.

Performance as a form has tended to prioritise liveness but documentation casts a long shadow in the history and transmission of this ephemeral art practice. The Body Is a Thing in Time is an exploration of how the viewer's experience is mediated through the screen – either in the work’s original form, as with video work and performance to camera, or in the secondary record of performance documentation.
