Programme 5.
“Performance and video in contemporary Russian art”.
This part explores the border territory of Russian art, created by the mutual
attraction of two genres, performance and video… In the English-language
critical tradition a conceptualising system for video and performance
interaction of has already been established, while in the Russian tradition it
is now in the process of being formed. The central concept here is video
performance. It is widely used in description of art actions documentary,
performances made specially for the camera, art works integrating action into
installation in “close circuit” and TV –experiments.
The concept is narrowed in such terms as “performance-oriented tape” and “tape
of actions”, more appropriate for documentation, and on the other hand, the
terms “performance-based video” or “performance-and-video piece” - describing
works of a more symbiotic kind. There is also a term for various border genre
experiments - “theatrical video performance”.
