Sparking Debate. Stimulating Conversation. Supporting Artists. Taking Live Art Seriously.

'We Need to Talk about Live Art' is a daily flash publication, by Writing From Live Art writers Tim Atack, Rachel Lois Clapham, Mary Paterson and Theron Schmidt, that was printed daily and distributed at the Tramway Arts Centre, Glasgow during the National Review of Live Art(NRLA) 6- 10 February 2008.

We Need to Talk about Live Art responded to the work seen at NRLA. We were not affiliated with the National Review of Live Art. The project was conceived of to start conversations with NRLA artists, audiences and readers and support the work shown. Comments cards were also made available for audience responses and feedback during the course of the festival, which were then integrated with the daily NRLA publication.

The writing is enclosed in its original flash publishing format and the PDF's represent the quick turnaround of the writing, complete with the occasional typo. You can download the PDF's from the links below. A selection of this writing is also published in print and online in RealTime Magazine 84 April-May 08,2008.

'We Need to Talk About Live Art was a writer-led initiative with support from Live Art UK, the national network of Live Art promoters.
