About
Why this artist matters now
Carl Wery was a German performance artist whose practice emerged in the early-to-mid twentieth century, a period when performance as a discrete artistic discipline was still taking form. Working across live action and bodily intervention, he developed approaches to presence and duration that anticipated conceptual performance practice by several decades. His work remains understudied in standard art histories, and further documentation of his specific methods and exhibitions is needed to establish his precise contribution to the genealogy of performance art.
