Beskrivning

Guerilla Performance and Multimedia is written by artists and for artists. It is designed for the benefit of artists engaged in creating original performance and multimedia work, including live art, installation, digital art and hybrids of theatre and visual art. Although there is no 'how to' in performance, no clearly defined 'industry' as such around the art form, this book stares unflinchingly into the headlights of the oncoming question: how do you make a living as an artist? This book offers an invaluable collection of individual experiences, unique strategies, and practical advice of dozens of veteran artists, arts administrators and related professionals.
