New Left Review: Performance After Television

Issue no. 80 of New Left Review (March/April 2013) contains my article "Performance Art After Television," which is part of chapter 3 of History in Motion. In general, that book would hardly have come into being without NLR's receptiveness and support, even when faced with half-baked work-in-progress. The "art" bit was added to my original title "Performance After Television" so as to give a slightly clearer sense of the subject; after all, this is not an art journal. The essay shares the pages of this issue with, for instance, contributions on the Arab uprisings and the Nobel Prize for Literature—not to mention the Decline of the West.

The article is online here, but it's behind a paywall.

This is a pseudo-blog chronicling my critical, historical and/or theoretical writings on modern and contemporary art and culture. It is intended purely as a more or less regularly updated list of my own writings, as well as of my occasional activities as a "Sunday curator." This isn't necessarily a complete listing. I may not mention some small occasional writings; the focus is on texts that really reflect my current interests and research.

I try very hard not to turn this into an actual blog, though from time to time circumstances may force me to post comments and reflections on cultural politics and on my own practice.I always try to link to the publications in which my texts appear, and if possible to the online versions of the texts themselves. Unfortunately, not many of my articles are available online in their entirety, or for free, and currently I'm not able to post PDFs myself.
