Academic Sessions: London 2003
Performing Objects/Animating Images
Convenors:
Aura Satz, Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, Gower Street, WC1E 6BT; aurasatz@onetel.net.uk
Jon Wood, Henry Moore Institute, 74 The Headrow, Leeds, LS1 3AH; jonw@henry-moore.ac.uk
Abstract:
This strand focuses on objects and images in relation to theatricality. Recent scholarship has highlighted an interest in the ‘performing object’ and pre–cinematic formats of the moving image (for example last year’s Getty Research Institute exhibition Devices of Wonder: From the World in a Box to Images on a Screen). This strand will develop this by looking at the crossovers between art object and performing theatrical object, and at the articulation of sound, voice, kinetics and at the mechanics of the object and image.
