Phil I, GCSC, R.001
Claire Bishop’s lecture in the morning of June 6 at the GCSC, titled “Black Box, White Cube, Fifty Shades of Grey?, will serve as a point of departure for her Master Class in the afternoon of the same day by the title of “Audience and Attention”. Taking into account the RA3’s focus “performativity and receptivity”, we will be zooming in on various aspects concerning the audience of performance artworks. Claire Bishop’s broad knowledge in the field of relational art, institutional contexts and the contemporary art world in general will be complemented by three texts by acclaimed performance scholars that she will be discussing with the group:
-Sven Lütticken, ‘Dance Factory’, Mousse, no.50, October 2015
-Erin Brannigan, ‘Dance and the Gallery: Curation as Revision’, Dance Research Journal, vol.47, no.1, April 2015
-Andre Lepecki, Singularities: Dance in the Age of Performance, NY: Routledge, 2016, last chapter - 'four notes on witnessing performance in an age of neoliberal experience'
