Live Forever. Collecting Live Art

‘The book now in your hands is itself a kind of collection, a gathering of the voices of some catalysts of contemporary performance: artists, cultural engineers, curators, collectors, set alongside critical meditations on the aesthetic, legal and museological ramifications of collecting live art. What emerges is a dynamic conversation – happily discordant in places – on the ethos of the act of collecting, and its social, political and philosophical consequences.’ — Adrian Heathfield
