Live Art

I used to wonder why it was called Live Art. After doing it for over 25 years, I realize itโ€™s because Live Art is about alivenessโ€ฆ about making myself fully available to life, all of life: the sorrow, joy, anguish, excitement, jealousy, shame, gratitude, disappointment, sadness and love. Live art feels a lot like dying. Like living inside a hole. An ass hole. An art hole. Yes. Art is in that hole.” -Stacy Makishi on receiving the Arthole Award in 2019
