The space between us: Anne Landa Award for video and new media arts 2013

The space between us considers the interrelation of video and performance.

Explore the work of contemporary artists selected for the 2013 Anne Landa Award, through still images, audio, video of performances, excerpts from new and recent artworks, and artist and curator interviews as well as essays on performance in art and the individual artists.

Performance art has seen a resurgence in recent years, stemming from a desire to question art’s ability to affect audiences and test established exhibition and viewing habits. These seven artists - Lauren Brincat, Alicia Frankovich, Laresa Kosloff, Angelica Mesiti, Kate Mitchell, James Newitt and Christian Thompson - are connected through their interest in the artist as a performing body, the artist as creator/director of performances, and the viewer’s role in relation to the works and as active participant.
