Title: Acts of Transgression : Contemporary Live Art in South Africa
Description: In this ground-breaking collection of critical essays, 15 writers explore the experimental, interdisciplinary and radically transgressive field of contemporary live art in South Africa. Set against a contemporary South African society that is chronologically ‘post'apartheid, but one that continues to grapple with material redress, land redistribution and systemic racism, Acts of Transgression finds a representation of the complexity of this moment within the rich potential of a performative art form that transcends disciplinary boundaries and aesthetic conventions. The collection probes live art's intersection with crisis and socio-political turbulence, shifting notions of identity and belonging, embodied trauma and loss, questions of archive, memory and the troubling of colonial systems of knowing, an interrogation of narratives of the past and visions for the future. These diverse essays, analysing the work of more than 25 contemporary South African artists and accompanied by a striking visual record of more than 50 photographs, represent the first major critical study of contemporary live art in South Africa; a study that is as timeous as it is imperative.
Authors: Jay Pather, Catherine Boulle, Katlego Disemelo, Gabrielle Goliath, Khwezi Gule, Andrew Hennlich, Mwenya B. Kabwe, Massa Lemu, Nomusa Makhubu, Bettina Malcomess, Same Mdluli, Lieketso Dee Mohoto–Wa Thaluki, Nondumiso Msimanga, Sarah Nuttall, Alan Parker
