Steve Giasson
Nouvelles nouvelles performances invisibles
— Karl-Gilbert Murray
In 2026, Steve Giasson resumed his minimalist performances, accompanied by conceptual statements and disseminated exclusively online. Once again, the artist performed without an audience, which, in Karl-Gilbert Murray’s view, constitutes a critique of performance art. Aspects such as deferred temporality and the choice to perform within the limits of the perceptible characterize this body of images, whose title “referred not to an absence but to an effect produced by regimes of representation that condition the appearance and legibility of the queer body in the public space.”
