Live Art is an umbrella term encompassing a range of performance, performative and time based practices that are unrestricted by art form boundaries.

From March 25th -30th 2008, the Festival was a dynamic six day programme of events which will bring together exciting, diverse Indian and International performance artists in an attempt to showcase the different currents, positions and possibilities of contemporary performance art. Prominent art galleries across the city hosted one evening each of performances over the course of the 6 days. The Goethe Institut Max Mueller Bhavan, Alliance Francaise, Delhi, Palette Art Gallery, Anant Art Gallery and Gallery Espace are collaborating for this seminal venture.

"hammam mein Hum sab Nangay hain, pur ye hammam hain kahan?"

"Representation of the body has always been threatened by the super sophistication of the techniques of its time, so the need to bring the body instead of the ritual back into the discourse will always be needed to be done.... otherwise it can soon get swamped by the speculative overproduction of corporate capitalism." Shantanu Lodh & Mrs Manmeet

Shit of the Other - Inder Salim

Shit of the Other was a 20 minute performance by Indier Salim alias Inder Tikkoo held at the KHOJ studios in Nov 2005. The performance was an attempt to 'exist in the realm of the 'other', an encounter with the opacity at the same time throwing up an urgency to re-examine the self that generates a dialogue.
