Live Art is an art form where an artist makes art in front of an audience. The term came into usage in the United Kingdom in the middle of the 1980s.
The Live Art Development Agency in London describes Live Art as follows:
- "Live Art should not be understood as a description of an artform but as a strategy to ‘include' a diversity of practices and artists that might otherwise find themselves ‘excluded' from all kinds of policy and provision and all kinds of curatorial contexts and critical debates." LADA
Essentially it refers to fields of artistic practice that are time-based but do not fall into those already strong genres of theatre, dance and performance art.
