Performative Objects

Join an anthropologist, an art curator and the artist Alice Anderson for a discussion on the status of objects that have been ‘charged’ or ‘animated’ by a performative action – whether it is a ritual, a specific mode of usage, a particular fabrication process, or an artistic gesture.

This event will also explore the agency of objects themselves.

Max Carocci, Honorary Research Fellow, in the Department of Art History, Birkbeck, University of London and researcher, Royal Anthropological Institute
Alice Anderson, artist
Anna Gritz, curator of film and performance, South London gallery

Facilitator

JJ Charlesworth, art critic and associate editor of ArtReview
