註釋This exhibition is curated by Keith Wallace and explores an aspect of performance art that is prominent in mainland China and in particular, Beijing. In mainland China, performance art is a relatively recent development with not much more than twenty years of activity. Action - Camera: Beijing Performance Photography examines the trajectory from the discreet underground performance art community centered in Beijing's 'East Village' in the early 1990s, to a current internationally recognized practice... By the late 1990s, performance art became a more clearly defined practice, and for many artists the photograph functioned not only as a document, but also as a work of art in itself. As a further development, many performances were specifically created for the camera rather than a live audience - the viewer's access to the 'performance' was exclusively through the photograph. The shift from live performance to staged photograph and the reasons behind it are a central anchor to this exhibition.
