Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom and Lloyd Corporation discuss connections between their approach to performance as integrated into a wider sculptural and installation practice. They talk about their views on the body of the performer and the role of the audience.
Both have been selected to develop new work with us as part of our Live Art Commissions programme, initiated with the belief that those who can must keep creating opportunities for artists in these difficult times.
We will be in conversation with the six artists invited for the Live Art Commissions programme so that audiences can get to know them and also for the artists to get to know each other through informal conversation.
Live is a series of online conversations, co-hosted by us and Performance Exchange in 2020. The webcast talks feature artists, curators and other cultural practitioners engaged in live work.
As organisations both being dedicated to performance and event-based art practices, this collaboration is born from the need to keep supporting these practices, perhaps now more urgently than ever. In creating this platform together, we want to share artistic projects and ideas with our audiences, whilst thinking through different cultural infrastructure that works for performance in times of social isolation.
