For those attuned to the fleeting nature of Live Art—where presence is everything, and memory is often the only record—the Live Art Development Agency’s Study Room is a rare and necessary resource. Now, once again, a curated selection of its materials will be available in Dublin as part of Live Collision International Festival.
Housed in Bethnal Green, London, the Study Room is the world’s largest collection of research materials on Live Art, containing over 8,000 itemson. Its shelves hold performances that have rewritten the rules of contemporary practice—videos, manifestos, critical texts—many of which exist nowhere else. In this specially chosen selection, festival audiences will have the chance to engage with works that have shaped the field, gaining access to performances that have long since vanished but whose impact lingers.
This is an invitation to step inside an archive of research material, a collection of radical gestures that continue to resonate.
About LADA
LADA is a Centre for Live Art: a knowledge and research centre, a production centre for programmes and publications, and an online centre for digital experimentation, representation and dissemination.
LADA supports everyone who makes, watches, researches, studies, teaches, produces, presents and writes about Live Art in the UK and internationally.
Through a portfolio of Projects, Opportunities, Resources and Publishing, we create new artistic frameworks, legitimise unclassifiable art forms, and support the agency of underrepresented artists. Our work sets artists and ideas in motion, serves as a research lab for mass culture, and contributes to mainstream culture in the long-term in ways which can’t be foreseen.
