The Lecture Performance exhibition in Belgrade was the result of curatorial exploration that asked whether a specific form could be singled out within the rich tradition of performance and body art – the form of the lecture performance. Within this relatively young ‘genre’, artists operate on the boundary between lecture and performance, including elements of self-reflection, social reflection, discussion form, performance virtuosity, or different forms of action art.
The genesis of the lecture performance can be traced back to the activities of conceptual artists, although the actual term was introduced to the field of art during the nineties through contemporary dance.
