Performance art in practice - pedagogical approaches avaa konkreettisesti suomalaisissa korkeakouluissa kehittynyttä performanssitaiteen pedagogisista osaamista ja ajattelua. Teoksen toimittaneen Aapo Korkeaojan Tuomas Laitisen, Annette Arlanderin, Tero Nauhan, Eero Yli-Vakkurin, Leena Kelan, Pilvi Porkolan, Jussi Matilaisen ja Pia Lindyn esseet ovat kokoelma näkökulmia, joiden kautta performanssitaide kulttuurisena ilmiönä ja luovan työn kontekstina tulee hyvin näkyväksi. Performanssitaiteen näkökulma kulttuuripolitiikkaan, taidehistoriaan ja aktivismiin sekä oivallukset ja esimerkit mm. taiteellisesta työstä, somatiikasta, läsnäolosta ja dialogin metodologiasta piirtävät värikkään kuvan lajista, joka lopulta pakenee kaikkia määritelmiä. Performance art in practice - pedagogical approaches toimii erinomaisena työkaluna opiskelijoille ja opettajille. Kirja on mielenkiintoista luettavaa kenelle tahansa, joka haluaa tutustua performanssitaiteen ajattelutapaan ja käytäntöihin paremmin. Description in EnglishPerformance art in practice- pedagogical approaches opens a path to a realm of performance art guided by experienced artist-educators, who write about their passions as artists and practices as teachers in Finnish universities. These essays are a profound collection of views to understanding performance art as a cultural phenomenon and a creative tool. The writers Tuomas Laitinen, Annette Arlander, Tero Nauha, Eero Yli-Vakkuri, Leena Kela, Pilvi Porkola, Jussi Matilainen and Pia Lindy with the editor Aapo Korkeaoja all approach performance art and pedagogy from different angles. Several methods on how to engage and understand body, concentration, human presence, identity, vocabulary, culture politics, art history and activism are introduced. Inventive feedback and dialogue cultures are shared with the readers as well as a range of personal experiences in various situations at workshops and performance grounds. The book also introduces vocabulary and concepts that have grown in relation to performance art - an art that eventually escapes all definitions. Performance art in practice- pedagogical approaches is a great tool for students & teachers and a pleasant read for anybody, that wishes to know more about performance art.

The sectarians of performance art protest and provoke. A heretic has no home or territory, no function of disruption or "erratic speech". Can such heresy be distinguished from sectarian provocation? Performance artist Tero Nauha explores, in the philofictional tradition of François Laruelle, heretics as people lived by the Real. & Provocation is a new book series that scrutinizes the use of provocation as an artistic method in the 21th century. This book by Tero Nauha is the first in our series.
