M+ Live Art: Audience as Performer

Description
Description
‘Audience as Performer’ is the inaugural exhibition of M+ Live Art, the museum’s first series dedicated to performance art, highlighting and unpacking the concept of the live body in visual art through compelling performances from local and international artists. Presented as a biannual series, M+ Live Art offers audiences direct access to the artists through actions as they unfold in real time, creating opportunities for transformative and unexpected experiences. M+ Live Art also intends to destabilise expectations of what a work of art looks like, moving beyond ideas of traditional performing arts, and foregrounding this form within contemporary art practices.
Spread over three days, ‘M+ Live Art: Audience as Performer’ features live performances by five artists from Asia who engage directly with the viewer, shifting the role of the audience from passive witness to active participant. The performances aim to redefine the relationships between the personal and the social, the individual and the collective, and the artist and the audience. By offering collaborations in new and open-ended works of art, these performances act as a catalyst to spark curiosity and inspire the public to build social bonds through interaction and participation.
