Lecture on Performance :
The performance turn in contemporary art


Part lecture, part interview, part roundtable discussion, the online lecture Lecture on Performance, conceived by River Lin during the first COVID19 lockdown of France, brings brings together his intersectional research and knowledge on Live Art and performance, essembling artists, curators, academics and beyond to meet, exchange and learn together.

Conducted by 6 takes, Lecture on Performance charts “the performance turn in contemporary art”, examining how the notion of “performativity”  and “performance turn” has impacted or applied to the realms of visual art, theatre, and dance among others.

Departing from the history and theory framework of art to case studies of contemporary artists’ practice, River mixes languages and viewpoints from across visual and performing arts to perform and suggest a narrative context in flux and ways of rethinking the performative. Through case studies, in each thematic take, relevant artists have been invited as special guests to join the discussion and share their practice, performing the knowledge production from making.

The inauguration of the performance has been conducted in Chinese Mandarin, for gathering art makers from the Chines-speaking region. It’s accomplished under zero budget and supported by generous sharings of guest artists and more than 300 participants from across Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai and beyond.

Each take of the program is now availble in Chinese Madarin and English for institutions of visual arts, performing arts and education to book and present as online live events/ learning programs.

關於表演的講座表演 : 
當代藝術的表演轉向


2020年3月,在法國應新冠病毒疫情鎖國及藝文活動取消期間,旅法台灣藝術家林人中發起線上講演計畫《關於表演的線上講座表演》。有點像講堂、有點像訪談、有點像圓桌論壇,彙整他近年的跨領域表演的創作、研究與知識,讓藝術家、學者、策展人等藝術工作者齊聚一堂學習交流。

以講談「當代藝術的表演轉向」為名,檢視「表演性」或「表演轉向」在視覺藝術、劇場、舞蹈等領域的觀念與體現。從藝術的歷史與理論框架出發,到多類藝術家作品案例研究,林人中試圖混合視覺藝術與表演藝術的語彙及視點,發展一種流動的敘事語境,操演跨領域表演的討論方法。

每一集他邀請藝術家朋友談述自己的創作脈絡並參與討論,這是為了進一步將思辨語境與知識生產的過程放置在藝術創作者的實踐裡。在六集節目中,林人中剖析了擴延編舞、參與式藝術、展演物件、映像表演、聲響藝術、講演等表演趨向。

首映以中文進行,擘畫亞洲華語藝術社群討論相關議題的空間。在零經費的條件下,第一季首映在藝術家來賓慷慨分享及超過三百位來自台灣、香港、新加坡、上海與會者的支持下完成。

《關於表演的線上講座表演》各集主題現開放教育與藝文機構預約,可作為公司教育訓練或公共項目的線上論壇活動。
