Performer and audience as inside and outside
As someone interested in joining the ranks of performing artists and attempting to drag all my sculpture habits along this was very interesting. I have stopped seeing much difference in the two practices though. Making objects you can call art is just a really slow version of performance and the audience doesn’t really expect too much in the way of action during their time viewing these works. Music is far more portable and often the audience expects or understands performance and action resulting in sonic output to be part of the experience.
While this blog doesn’t deal specifically with sculpture and the audience interaction with visual art works, it does address the topic of intimacy and personal experience of both the audience and the performer. As we consider insides and outsides of things we might do well to expand the field to our emotional insides and experiential outsides and those of the artists creating the works we see and hear.

Fascinating – I spend far too little time thinking about how my own practice (and my own writing about my practice) might impact or relate to other artists… can you imagine doing something like this, sculpting live?
