Live Art Cliches

Adam York Gregory is a live artist. Sometimes he writes about it too. Live Art Cliches is a collection of short essays about the live art world, starting with the title essay that considers the pitfalls of one of the most vibrant and urgent forms of making. Published here as a companion to those just starting out on their live art practice as well as seasoned makers, who might wince a little as they encounter cliches they are also familiar with, Live Art Cliches looks at how we communicate through art.
Other essays consider when you should leave a performance, audience engagement, protest and art, the differences between visual and performative practice, and the business of a career in the arts.
