Performing for the camera
Join OCA tutor Russell Squires on the 2 April at Tate Modern for Performing for the Camera
With over 50 seminal photographers on display, the exhibition explores the relationship between photography and performance, engaging with serious, provocative and sensational topics, as well as humour, improvisation and irony.
From marketing and self-promotion, to the investigation of gender and identity, to experiments with the self-portrait, Performing for the Camera brings together over 500 images shown in series, including vintage prints, large scale works, marketing posters and artists working with Instagram. It is a wide-ranging exploration of how performance artists use photography and how photography is in itself a performance.
Please note there is a £10 booking fee for this exhibition, this will need to be paid by 16 March when tickets will be purchased. Please contact the student services team to book your place 0800 731 2116.
