In recent years, Madrid has become one of the most active European cities instimulating experimental art, and the CAM2 (Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo)in Madrid one of its most important centers. Curated by Parachute founderChantal Pontbriand, PER/FORM aims to reclaim the museum as platform for liveexperimentation, with 16 installations and performances exploring how art dealswith reality in a performative way. The project included an exhibition, three Intensity Days of performances (as outlined by Lyotard's notion of artas situation) and this generously illustrated exhibition catalog. Performances,interactive installations, videos and sound installations in a variety of visualessays - including musical scores, drawings, documents and photographs - and theoretical texts by the 30 participating artists make for a captivating lookat the shifting roles of politics, experience and immateriality in art today. - from Amzon
