German-born Anne Imhof, one of the most pioneering female performance artists alive today, is the sole focus of the third annual BMW Tate Live Exhibition. Taking place in the Tanks – Tate Modern's subterranean gallery space dedicated to championing live experimentation and contemporary performance art – the BMW Tate Live Exhibition 2019 will present just one of Imhof's engaging new immersive works. Imhof's large-scale installation combines music, sculpture and painting, and will unfold over the duration of the ten day exhibition.


Although painting remains an integral part of her practice, Imhof is perhaps best known for her complex performative art pieces, often interpreted as intimate studies of movement, body language and gesture. Among her most famous works is Faust, an immersive installation inhabited by performers, which Imhof debuted at the German pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017. Generally speaking, Imhof's performative pieces tend to span several hours and explore contemporary anxieties of isolation, technology, proximity and identity. Her new Tate Modern work will be no exception. For the duration of the BMW Tate Live exhibition, Imhof will transform the Tanks into a suite of atmospheric spaces. Visitors can wander freely through the exhibition during the day, or attend one of the six evening performances punctuating the run.



Joan Jonas by Moira Ricci


Anne Imhof follows in the competent footsteps of performance artist Joan Jonas, who also enjoyed a major retrospective at Tate Modern last year.


This exhibition promises to be a real celebration of contemporary performance art.
