Issue 8 of liveartwork DVD is out now and features some particularly high quality video documentation of the usual eclectic selection of international performance artists.

This issue also marks the second year anniversary of the liveartwork DVD publication. There is documentation 'The Institution', a major performance / installation project by André Stitt, one of Europe's foremost performance artists. From last year's SPILL Festival of Performance in London, there is video of Kira O'Reilly's most recent performance work, an intriguing body based piece bordering on the edges of dance.
There is documentation of two Finnish works which were presented last October at the Kunstbanken Festival of Performance Art in Hamar, Norway - Oblivia is a relatively new performance group who are making unique and beguiling work that is combines a textual and conceptual approach. Essi Kausalainen is a young performance artist who makes wonderfully esoteric solo performances exploring 'small transformations and everyday metamorphosis.'
For a second time on liveartwork DVD I am pleased to feature a work by Kate McIntosh. Filmed just last November, the video is an extract from her brand new, text based performance work Loose Promise. Finally Sian Robinson Davies, a recent graduate of the Goldsmiths College in London, presents an object based performance filmed especially for this DVD.

liveartwork DVD issue 8 has a total running time of about 98 minutes.
