Tate: Art Term – Live Art


The term live art refers to performances or events undertaken or staged by an artist or a group of artists as a work of art, usually innovative and exploratory in nature.

The term is mainly used to refer to performance art, action art and their precursor happenings, together with later developments of performance since the 1960s.
In 1999 the publicly funded Live Art Development Agency was founded in London, UK, to promote and co-ordinate activity in this field.

Live art may also refer to art using living animals or plants. A major practitioner of this has been the arte povera artist Jannis Kounellis.
