Description |
History of Disappearance examined the role of the institution in relation to the practice of live art, and the importance of recording and preserving this art form. The show offered a rare opportunity to view documentation of a diverse collection of time-based works from the fertile time in avant-garde art history during the 70s, the politically volatile time of the 80s, through to the early 90s and artists’ use of the Internet as an art medium and venue in the new millennium. The show comprised of video footage, artists’ books, on-line works, artefacts from the archive and a new commission. |
