This Master's Thesis published by The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College in the spring of 2011, accompanies Malick's thesis curatorial project of the same title, that features performances and documentary installations of artists; Brody Condon, Shana Moulton, and the collective, Yemenwed. Their work, and others discussed in this thesis deal both in their subject matter and their modes of operandi with those reitereative trends that arise when attempting to locate and exteriorize the entangled web of social structures and media outlets that comprise our technologized contemporary condition. Making sense is not the primary objective of these artists, yet through each of their own variations on performance, they glean connections, parallels and intrinsic relationships between the secrets, the subtleties and the shifts of social and mediatized life. When considering looking the practices of these artists in juxtaposition to one another, this thesis parses the forging of a new, less body-space-time-centric direction in performance art that is as exciting as it is precarious.
