Article:
Eventful Evidence. Historicizing Performance Art

Author(s): Roms, Heike

Abstract

This contribution introduces a current research project, which aims to approach the history and historiography of performance art through performative modes of transmission, especially those of Oral History. It considers the particular manner in which Oral History produces historical evidence, and how it performs itself as a scene of evidence. It argues that such performative engagements with the history of performance are nonetheless dependent on archival artefacts and in turn produce artefacts that get housed in the archive.
