Ausgangslage
This project centres on the conservation of per formancebased artworks. Being of intrinsically short duration and involving human or nonhuman body, performance based artworks challenge the common assumptions that a work of art can be fixed, static and ‘conservable’ – an object easily constrained by the established systems of documentation and archival ordering.
