Adrian Heathfield and Amelia Jones’ Perform, Repeat, Record is one of the first scholarly texts to attempt to address how live art, as an ephemeral, often subversive, embodied act, becomes incorporated into history. They assert that live art, by its nature, resists historicisation. Yet, increasingly, we are seeing strategies employed by institutions, scholars, and artists themselves to ensure that works survive over time and through history. The book takes an unconventional approach to addressing these challenges. It attempts to address how the ephemeral moment of live art can be captured and archived. It embraces an interdisciplinary approach, marrying concepts from art history and performance studies with case studies and illustrations from artists, curators, and institutions, and interviews with performers and artists themselves.
