Freud's “riddle” that women are, themselves, “the problem” takes on new significance in thinking back through the “remimetic” strategies and tactics of mid-century feminist performance art. What sorts of “problems” arise with the stellar success of women artists in the 2000s, and the new status of “global art star” for artists such as Marina Abramović and Cindy Sherman? What may have been left out of the picture? Perhaps the recent “living archive” re.act.feminism installation by curators Bettina Knaup and Beatrice Stammer may provide some clues.

The article covers the Singaporean performance festival Future of the Imagination (FOI) 10, which has persistently since 2003 been taking full advantage of the Southeast Asian country’s efforts to present a more open, globally and culturally relevant face to the world by, among others, lifting its ban that year on performance art. The author Jennie Klein takes an in-depth look at FOI 2015 and its decision to focus on women and feminist performance for this iteration, its success in gathering together an international selection of women artists, linking the festival not only to other likewise alternative performance events in the region but to its own local alternative performance history, and shows the significance of these moves in the greater context of Southeast Asian alternative feminist performance as well as its connection to the movement globally.

This chapter describes a teaching method, corporeal architecture, which uses performance art and neuroscience to teach interior design and architecture with a focus on embodiment and experience. The method sets new approaches to teach design, as it integrates design, neuroscience, and performance art and brings awareness to the importance of multi-sensory experience. The interaction with design objects at different scales is taken as an opportunity to investigate how the human body relates to space and allow the exploration of affordances through movement. Students are instructed with physical exercises and encouraged to design, build, and perform with objects such as chairs, cabinets and tables, installations, existing buildings, and public spaces. The performances explore narratives which reveal or subvert expectations we have around design objects. The methodology has a background in phenomenology, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Juhani Pallasmaa; Antonio Damásio in neuroscience; and Oskar Schlemmer, Marina Abramovic, and Stelarc in Performance Art.

The dynamic development of the Internet and the constant search for new ways of reaching the user bring about the availability of materials that were previously unattainable. Performance art, thanks to its special openness to new methods of expression, reaches the mass media, while showing the individual’s psyche and character of the author’s work. The set of gestures, their sequence and narration are the basis for creating performance art, understood not only as a clear alternative to conventional art, but also characterized by unpredictability, in which the viewer is not prepared for the way messages are received. Undoubtedly, social platforms create an illusion. “The influencer” can reach thousands of viewers and gain fame without leaving home. Without a doubt, social media have created a new entry point to the global art scene, opening way to a wide spectrum of diverse artistic activities. The method of recording, the non-cutaneous nature of the phenomenon makes it possible to own performative actions. The context of a performance is particularly important. It affects what can be universally recognized as art. The question arises (since we distinguish two values of the performative action: in the art gallery and on the street), what frames on the social media allow the audience to interpret it as art, and assuming that it is an art, does it change the perception of a given phenomenon?

O presente artigo teve por temática a poiésis, a performance art e a formação estética docente. O objetivo foi investigar processos poéticos no qual o corpo do pesquisador também fosse tema e suporte na poiésis, relacionando à/aos artistas Marina Abramović, Hélio Oiticica e Artur Barrio e a suas obras. De abordagem qualitativa, o percurso metodológico abarcou a Pesquisa Educacional Baseada em Arte (DIAS; IRWIN, 2013) e a matriz a/r/tográfica, organizada em levantamento bibliográfico, aprofundamento teórico, percurso poético e visualidades. Barthes (2018) norteou a análise da investigação, em que o studium perpassou a formação docente, garimpando estesias que foram absorvidas na poíesis em forma de punctum. Os resultados apresentam quatro obras que compõem a série Dilaporal. Conclui-se que as visualidades poetizadas são como garimpagens do a/r/tógrafo na formação estética docente.
