Action Script: Symposium on Performance Art Practice and Documentation in Asia

Performance art has become a vital element in the flourishing contemporary art scene in Asia, and festivals celebrating performance art were also proliferated in Asian cities. A 5-days symposium was held by the Asia Art Archive and the Centre for Community Cultural Development on October 2010. With round-table seminars, artist talks, performances and workshop, internationally respected performance artists, archivists, and researchers were gathered in Hong Kong to critically discuss the challenges associated with performance work.
