Performing Generations: Classic and Contemporary Performative Video

by Lisa Baldissera and Laura McGough

Catalogue for Performing Generations, which showed at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria from September 30 - November 28, 1999. Explores the ways in which "[t]he video and web works in Performing Generations employ the strategies of video and performance art, in their exploration of the everyday." Pieces were also screened alongside performance art tapes from the 1970s "so that they may engage in a dialogue across history." (Quotes from intro & essay.)
