| Abstract: | Maha Performance: a big festival of performance art. But before this
dream festival takes shape, I aim to collect the moods of aspiring
performance artists in India. Knowing this genre is new, ( in
contemporary sense ) and not market friendly, the challenges are
immense. As we know, the mould of an artist in the present is already
contemporary, and is hardly unaffected by the issues around. So the task
is to approach the young from the art colleges, colleges, universities,
NSD and other such non conventional arenas. My role is to identify a
potential performance artist and try to do a performance independently
along with her/him, or collaborate. I aim to provide a documented file
to the participant in the least. I need to enter the marked and unmarked
spaces/venues for a good start. I aim to arrange to invite an
internationally famous artist to create an ambience for the popularity
of this genre. There are already few of us in Delhi and elsewhere who I
am sure would support the cause.
About the theory of performance art and its significance, I quickly
quote Leslie Hill, a noted feminist writer- who begins her essay on
performance art, by saying " The genesis of Performance Art is
Feminism,". So more than that, I believe, it has a history of politics
of defiance and is loaded with history of minds that yearned for a new
thinking for a new possible world, besides a floating signifier of a
queer/heretic/eccentric/poetic within the form of it. |
