Action Art Now is a programme of live performance events, curated by O U I Performance, York, UK. Bringing together over 25 artists, Action Art Now presents new work by performance art visionaries whose work exists firmly outside of the institutional and commercial art market.
Part 1 of Action Art Now brings together 16 national and international performance artists for 4 events in York in October, November, December 2011 and February 2012. The artists in Action Art Now not only make performance but are part of an international community of artists whose practice involves the action of establishing artist-led organisations and platforms for the continual evolution of action art and the variety of its forms.
Working against performance art’s disappearance under commerce and normative hierarchies covertly operating within contemporary art culture, O U I Performance actively encourages difficult modes of artistic production and consumption. Action Art Now creates temporary shelter for the international community of pro-sumer artists.
Action Art Now is supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England
