They have this quality to be equally in-situ but more permanent.<br />More museal, perhaps.<br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />CedricCedric Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20938562.post-10508865621258497022010-02-22T13:30:35.176-05:002010-02-22T13:30:35.176-05:00Cedric, It must have been close to 40 years ago th...Cedric, It must have been close to 40 years ago that I saw my first performance by <a href="http://www.yvon-lambert.com/Joan+Jonas-A31.html" rel="nofollow">Joan Jonas</a> in a dimly lit raw loft space in Soho NYC. Somewhere along the line, experimental theatre and art performance more or less merged. <br /> <br />I experienced Tino Sehgal's theatre piece (or performance) and you read the Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759499295301691764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20938562.post-46523065484303876542010-02-21T11:18:28.952-05:002010-02-21T11:18:28.952-05:00Where it leads to category, is that the discourse ...Where it leads to category, is that the discourse wouldn't be about visual arts if the piece was simply presented as theatre<br />that requires the Gugg's rotunda to function. When you claim it to be visual arts, you open up questions of value and judgment<br />about visual aesthetics that bring an intellectual heavyness that probably shouldn't be there.

I've just seen it once but it's a walk and talk moving up the ramp. There was no other interaction other than what occurred between me and each guide. At each floor I was passed off to a new older guide.
