La Merced Chapel from Carl Hersh on Vimeo.
La Merced Chapel is a hidden artistic jewel in inauspicious surroundings in Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood. On the grounds of Corpus Christi Church, the building evokes a Peruvian baroque chapel of the colonial period in the 17th and 18th century. The building is a faithful construction and is filled with authentic religious paintings and furniture from Latin America’s under-appreciated Colonial period.

BY LIV FONTAINE IN OPINION | 10 SEP 20
The closure of art spaces and venues during lockdown has exacerbated the challenges faced by artists operating in a live sphere. Here, Liv Fontaine offers ten pearls of wisdom for surviving the minefield of working as a freelance performer.
1. Keep performing
After almost ten years of performing in galleries, I now feel much happier doing my act at punk shows in fringe venues. Art spaces are great, but it’s in the pubs that I feel I can really get down to business. If no one wants to programme you, programme yourself.
2. Safety first
I have learned a lot from getting heckled or even threatened in the middle of a set, but it can very quickly become uncomfortable. Spectators often see performers’ bodies as public property, so be clear about your boundaries with organizers and audiences. There can be pressure to respond wittily to an onstage interruption, but I find the classic ‘Get to fuck you chicken-livered shit!’ works for me.
3. Know who you are and keep telling everyone
Performance teases people. In this sense, although it can be draining, it’s a good idea to use social media. Performance relies on the artist’s presence and social media offers the illusion of presence, even if the reality is: self-doubt, crippling debt and spiralling spotlight syndrome.
4. Be aware of the post-performance ‘come down’
I have been through multiple episodes of madness, wondering where the performance stops and I start. It is a state of incongruence that you could spend many hours and much money exploring with a therapist. It has led me to do completely unimaginable and very unusual things, including rebranding myself as a landscape photographer and confessing to crimes I did not commit. Ignored, this can take a toll on your health and relationships, so it’s good to keep considering.
5. Be really clear about what you want to do
There is still a general judgement that performers are a bit wild and all over the place, which is true. When working with producers and curators, be practical about what you want to achieve and state why it’s absolutely necessary that you do it. If your work relies on turning the stage into a scale reconstruction of the unstoppable bus in the 1994 action thriller Speed, don’t compromise.
6. Be friends with other performers
Surround yourself with people who understand the seething cauldron of your mind and don’t consider you to be just egotistical. Most people assume performers are very sure of themselves but, to a performer, performance is just a medium or, sometimes, an erratic, unstable compulsion.
7. Only do work that you really believe in
You must have complete conviction in what you do because there is an element of sacrifice to performance, so it’s got to be worth it. I realize this might sound a bit dramatic but, if I ever wanted to become prime minister, I wouldn’t be able to because there’s footage of me all over the internet tit-wanking bananas and screaming about my cheating ex-husband.
8. If the feeling stops, stop
To me, there is nothing more exhilarating than performing live: it’s an out-of-body experience that can leave me with extreme emotions for days. If that ever ended, I would stop performing.
9. Don’t pigeonhole your performative self
Performance is the basis of my whole practice, but I don’t feel completely defined by it because my process also involves writing, drawing and video work. Sometimes, live work is exhausting; it’s good to take a break, take a breath and come back with a BANG!
10. Keep going
I receive less than one acceptance for every 20 applications I make. It can be lonely, and the rejection is incredibly hard to process. I persevere because people keep coming to the shows, I can’t keep my mouth closed and we have to keep challenging the absolute shite that is being thrown at us. I may be biased but, when I watch live work, my mind is often totally blown. I rarely feel like that at the National Portrait Gallery

Context consists of all of the things about the artwork that might have influenced the artwork or the maker (artist). These would include when the work was made; where it was made (both culturally and geographically); why it was made; and possibly some other details or information. Contextualism—looking at the cultural context of an artwork—can deepen and/or improve our understanding of an artwork, but it may or may not change our first impressions; and it doesn’t really have an effect on formal analysis. With some additional contextual information about the time, the culture, and the maker/artist of an artwork, we can become more informed. All artworks exist in a context—more accurately, all artworks exist in multiple contexts.
Time is the most basic and first context we consider. When we say, “When in time?” the question is also related to where in time—and has considerations related to context.
The context for the artist or creator includes:
Context also has to do with the viewer. For example: When a person in Paris in the 1890s looked at a Van Gogh painting, how that painting looked and felt and seemed to her was very different from an American viewer looking at the same painting today. When thinking about a viewer’s context, it’s useful to think about the following, since all of them can affect how person sees or responds to an artwork:

About:
Museum educator, independent curator and artist
Visionary perspective leading to effective partnerships of public and private sector Arts and non-arts entities.Proven ability and successful track record in arts education and programming; creating opportunities for communities to engage in the arts; facilitating spaces that foster a love of learning and participation in the arts.
“I am concerned with the development of new ways to bridge the connections between creativity and community engagement with the goal of encouraging livability through the arts. Attributes that best describe me would include optimistic, empathetic, creative, persistent, problem-solver, motivated, responsible and flexible.
I am committed to Miami because this is my home and as a part of this community I am responsible for contributing to the greater good of what Miami is and can be. The possibilities in Miami to achieve success are limitless and our rapidly changing neighborhoods, public places and social institutions reflect the desire of Miami’s communities to embrace change for the better while remembering the past. I choose live and work in this beautiful and challenging environment because I am inspired by both the people and the environment.
As an arts administrator I have the daily pleasure, and challenge, of engaging the community through the arts. I strive to provide children and adults with the opportunity to participate in high-quality arts programs that have lead to opportunities for self-reflection, community engagement and holistic thinking. The creation of public-private partnerships, both large and small, have allowed me to experience first-hand the various channels available to reaching the community, and understanding the importance of utilizing more than one method. The issues and needs of Miami’s communities are as diverse as the people that make up this unique place.”
Magic happens when artists come together to create. Whether it’s a film shoot, live performance, or art show, Peerspace aims to be there to accommodate your next masterpiece. Let your creativity bloom in one of the thousands of spaces available on the largest online marketplace for production and event venues. No matter your budget, you can make your performance art ideas come to life with Peerspace.
Think outside your garage or the local coffee shop, and book somewhere spectacular for your next project. You can rent a theater, loft, warehouse, or whatever fits your project for an hour at a time. There are filters that let you narrow your search to venues that have green screens, A/V equipment, and other amenities. If you are bold and want to make a statement with a live piece of performance art, we can help you find the ideal venue. Performance art is a powerful medium that creates an immersive experience for viewers
Often political, sometimes controversial and shocking, it often comes with a message. It can involve body art, costumes, props, or normal, everyday activities in strange places. Whether the goal of your performance art piece is to raise awareness about a particular cause or issue — or simply to make a statement — there are a few things you can do to make sure your display is a success. Here are eight performance art ideas that will grab your audience’s attention and leave them wanting to know more about your work.
If one of your performance art ideas is taking place out in public, invite passersby to contribute to your artwork in some way. Provide extra paint; have a fill-in-the-blank prompt or a question and some markers and paper; or ask permission to take photographs of people. Depending on what type of performance you are giving, there is a variety of ways you can allow people to collaborate. Think of it like a living community mural! People who participate are likely to take photos, equaling more exposure for your work.
If your art project is social change-oriented, consider raising money along with awareness. For example, if your art is about animal rights, donate any proceeds to wildlife conservation organizations or local animal shelters. You can even incorporate your donation collection bin into your artwork if you have constructed a sculpture of some sort. Think of it as similar to a street musician collecting cash in their guitar case, but keep in mind that it might not be obvious that you are accepting donations, so be sure to make proper signage saying as much.
Performance art can be messy and isn’t always the most environmentally friendly. Consider the earth when designing your piece. Avoid things like glitter, paints, and other non-biodegradable materials. Instead, use food, plants, costumes, and recyclable materials. That way, you have an easy cleanup job when you are done, and you won’t get into any trouble or slapped with any fines for littering. Your performance art ideas can easily be sustainable.
Recognize a meaningful date with your performance piece. Plan to have the piece coincide with certain holidays or days of remembrance like Earth Day, Memorial Day, Election Day, Columbus Day, Transgender Day of Remembrance, D-Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Harvey Milk Day, or International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Your local cultural center may be open to collaborating with you for the piece if it is associated with a major holiday and a particular community, which will in turn give you more exposure and support.
Sometimes performance art ideas take on a meaning associated with the place where it is happening. Your performance art doesn’t have to only be done in a public space for unsuspecting passersby. You can make it an entire event, complete with a venue, and invite people to come watch. Your venue may even be a part of the performance itself, and not just a backdrop for it. No matter what you have planned, Peerspace can help you find the venue in which your wildest creative dreams can come alive. The platform is home to thousands of Insta-worthy spaces available for rent by the hour.
Leave your audience with a souvenir (even if it’s just your business card). If you can incorporate it into the performance by, for example, handing out flowers, then even better! Include your social media handles and website address on whatever you choose to hand out. It could be stickers, pins, small art prints, or even zines.
Break bread with your community. Set up a table or lay down a picnic blanket and host a feast for strangers. This performance art idea can be adapted depending on which direction you want to take it. You can decorate with certain place settings, serve particular foods, and arrange things in specific ways depending on the goal of the piece.
This stunt would work particularly well on college campuses and in other high-traffic areas like parks in large cities. You can also send out invitations for the public feast performance, if that works for your project and your intentions. For the sake of saving time and ensuring food safety, make sure every food item in your display is store-bought and not easily perishable.
Find a cheap mirror or several small mirrors at Target or another department store, and make it portable so that you can carry it with you. The mirror itself can be the art, and it will change depending on what you are facing. This simple but versatile performance art idea can be adjusted for different purposes and is something you can do almost anytime, anywhere.
Creating performance art is a unique, deeply personal process that varies from artist to artist. While we cannot tell you exactly how to go about designing your performance, we do know that these eight performance art ideas can help get your creative wheels turning. Now go forth and put great art out into the world!
