Into the Aura: The Presence of Performance

What happens to the aura when the work of art is not an object, but an event? This episode considers examines the place of performance art in the neo-vanguards and how it reorganizes the relationship between artist and viewer. We look at the work of Carolee Schneemann, Laurie Anderson, and Adrian Piper, asking where the work of art is when it comes to performance. This episode is presented by Daphne Knouse, Ciara Moore, and Hannah-Rose Albinus.
