Abstract
In this paper, I investigate complex and at times paradoxical relationships between ephemerality in performance art and critical and theoretical understandings of materiality. I do so to explore socio-economic aspects of the position of the performance artist in relation to political agency. The paper specifically does this through testing 3 axioms in turn:
1. Performance resists the fixed, reproducible artefact and critiques economic materialism (Alastair MacLennan)
2. Art is what makes life more interesting than art (Teaching Hsieh after Robert Filliou)
3. Everybody an Artist or Nobody An Artist (Stuart Home after Joseph Beuys)
