Jay Pather

In this chapter, Pather discusses the difficulties of transferring traditional notions/methodologies of curating objects as in Fine Art to Live Art. In Live Art, where elements of a performance, including the actual physical space, audience and context are as volatile and dynamic as the other curation, he argues, is really an act of mediation that demands its own vocabulary reflective of a form that constantly changes and in turn is changed by a society in flux.
