Symposium: UNLIMITED ACTION Limits of Performance

http://www.whitechapelgallery.org/events/%EF%BB%BF%EF%BB%BFsymposium-unlimited-action-performance/
What limits are imposed on performance, whether actively or tacitly, by institutions, form, tradition or by history? These limits may also be imposed by artists themselves as constructive boundaries with which to wrestle towards productive ends. How do artists comply with, reject, or overcome limits in the course of their work, or in its presentation, documentation, or dissemination?
UNLIMITED ACTION: Limits of Performance brings together artists, curators and academics to explore these questions around the theme of limits in performance – limits of the body, aesthetics, material conditions, institutional practices, pleasure, or desire.
Speakers include artists Anne BeanNigel Rolfe and Ulay, who will also perform.
In collaboration with Dominic Johnson (Queen Mary University of London), supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
