The concept for ‘I Am Still Alive’ is to bring live art to a new audience by placing it in a format similar to that of a musical gig. For this evening, ‘live art’ will be distinguished as any practice that plays out in real time with a conceptual element. For this night, I will not be presenting the cabaret side of artistic performance.

Durational live artworks often play out over many hours, days or weeks. The idea here, is to condense the time frame down to small digestible chunks, around fifteen to thirty minutes, to engage a captive audience. We will have 3 or 4 artists performing interspersed with live music.

Artists on the night will include:

Andrew Neil Hayes is a musician and artist living and working Bristol. Most known for his work playing saxophone in Run Logan Run, he is also a member of The Artist Project Space, an artist led collective in Bedminster.
