Overview

From 1986 - 1999 P-Form magazine covered new developments in performance and live art. Originating in Randolf Street Gallery, Chicago - an experimental not-for-profit arts organisation - P-Form began as a newsletter focussed on performance and live art happening in Chicago, but grew to become a leading journal of live art activity in the 1980s and 1990s across the US and Europe. Issues are comprised of articles, reviews, commentaries, interviews, performance texts and art work, often revolving around a central theme such as censorship, audio art or illness.
