Documentation Bank and Sreening Progammes
The Agency maintains a Documentation Bank consisting of an extensive range of artists’ Talking Heads films and Documentation of artists' works. The Talking Heads are short presentations by artists to camera about their practice and approaches to making. Most artists have approached the notion of a 'talking head' in inventive ways resulting in engaging and insightful artworks.
The artists represented in the Documentation Bank cover a wide range of practices and ideas that represent contemporary Live Art practices; from body-based performance works, site-specific projects through to experimental theatre, event culture, installations and socially engaged practices, to name a few.
The Agency curates and produces bespoke screening programmes from the Documentation Bank for presentation in exhibitions, theatrical screening contexts and for festivals, in close collaboration with national and international presenters and partners. Screenings can be tailored to address specific curatorial approaches and artistic concerns about and around Live Art and Performance practices, and form part of the Agency's ongoing international programme: Live Art Unpacked and there have been presented, besides United Kingdom, in countries like Ireland, USA, Australia, India, Korea, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Switzerland or Taiwan.
