This catalogue was published on the occasion of the titled exhibition at Tate Liverpool from November 2003 to January 2004. It is the Tate's first major exhibition devoted to the history and continuing significance of the radical art form, whether they are never recorded or are staged exclusively for the camera. Written by some of the world's leading scholars of performance, the essays consider the complex relationship between 'event' and 'object', performance and document, and explore issues of artistic control and unconscious elements in performance events. Some of the most iconic moments of twentieth-century performance art are captured in the images in the book. A list of exhibited works is included.

Note: Only artists of Asian descent are mentioned below.
