Sublime', produced at Khoj Studios during the Performance Art Residency (2007)

The Performance Art Residency in 2007 marked the third in a series of residencies curated around Performance Art since its inception at Khoj in 2004. The 2007 edition brought together 5 artists with completely diverse work under the broad umbrella of ‘performance’. The first Performance Residency in 2004 was significant for the emphasis it placed on the body and the politics surrounding it, while 2006’s residency saw a greater focus on live performances in the public sphere. The Performance Art Residency in 2007, on the other hand, addressed the theatricality of installation art and the reality of performance art as installation more specifically.
