10 of my favourite Contemporary Artists using Performance – selected by Rosie Gibbens

Artist Rosie Gibbens has selected her top 10 picks for artists using performance that we should all know about.

Anna Perach – @Anna_Perach

Beautiful carpet creations

Emily Louise Perry – @EmilyLouisePerry

Working with non-actors to create uncomfortably voyeuristic yet intimate experience for viewers

Katherine Araniello – @KatherineAraniello

Sharply satirical, hilarious and political work.

Keijaun Thomas – @Keioui

Performances that are both confronting and caring. Striking, sad, yet joyful.

Korallia Stergides – @Aillarok

Improvising  characters into absurd stories. Playful and weird.

Mette Sterre – @MetteSterre

Creation of strange characters and abstract narratives through body assemblages and experimental costumes.

Rosa Doornebal – @PictureOnScreen

Absurd, unsettling and funny. Interacting with sculptural objects as body substitutes.

Rosa Johan Uddoh – @Rosa_Johan

Political and deadpan (my fav combo). Complicating language and interrogating institutions.

Tim Spooner – @TSpooner0

Big stage installations with ingenious chain reaction creations and intriguing creatures.

Yuki Kobayashi – @YukiKobayashi0226

I like it when something that appears silly is taken deadly seriously by the performer.
