Radar presents two days of discussion and new commissions that begin a dialogue about the intersection between performance and visual practice.   In recent years the division between the two has become increasingly blurred, breaking down some of the often imaginary differences between them.

One area of increasing interest to practitioners working in both fields has been the performance lecture.  Even though formally quite limited they offer unique and complex possibilities and challenges. 

On Saturday 18 June we will present seven new commissions responding to this format.  They will inhabit spaces across the campus purposefully meandering from performance to lecture and back again , testing what might constitute a performance lecture rather than demonstrating a unified approach. As works combine explanation with a more overtly fictional narrative, moving between the theatrical and instructional,  exchanging an authoritative voice with one that is more unreliable, the programme will challenge traditional notions of these particular forms of imparting either knowledge or entertainment.

The day of performance lectures will be accompanied by a symposium on Friday 17 June, which will examine the changing nature of performance, and the use of performance within a visual arts context.   The symposium will include the presentation of a recent live work by Janice Kerbel.

Radar



Radar is Loughborough University’s contemporary arts programme, enabling creative exploration and furthering critical debate through commissions, films and conversation.  

The University is the largest single site campus in the country and as such offers artists a rich source of material and knowledge to inform and develop their practice.  With each programme artists are invited to tap into this resource, whether that be through a dialogue that informs the conceptual framework or through utilising the technical and production facilities available.  This process of interaction between artist and academic and artist and university is central to the programme.  While the artistic outputs are not confined to one space, or to the campus, the relationship to the context is fixed, providing a bond between the divergent responses.

The artistic outputs are also used to engender further debate and exploration of the ideas contained within the work.  The art works are used to initiate conversations between different disciplines, not only artist and academic but academic and academic and student and academic further encouraging a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and skills.
