Making A Scene
The publication is drawn from papers and discussions in the framework of a conference held at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, University of Central England on 5 June 1999. It addresses complex performative aspects of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity in the cultural landscape of neoliberal UK. This new landscape is described by co-editor Henry Rogers as increasingly de-politicized in varying degrees by means of government policy, funding bodies, arts organizers, the media, collectors, and the rise of the professional curator.rnrnLess a matter of transgression in a modernist sense, the publication considers the changes as a transformation – in which identity, its construction, politics and relations are challenged. Drawn from contemporary discourses on identity the issues of the book stress the importance of the performative act, the performing of identity and the potential this may hold for a reconsideration of art practice. This transformative potential, according to Rogers, “offers the possibility for a radical rethinking of the conventions of performativity itself in relationship to art as an everyday practice.”
