Featuring Kaleb Bennett, G-fab and the Meat pack, Murray Hewitt, Beth O'Brien, Raised by Wolves and Gemma Tweedie

Featuring works by Kaleb Bennett, G-Fab and the Meat Pack, Murray Hewitt, Beth O'Brien, Raised by Wolves and Gemma Tweedie, performances were situated in and outside Enjoy Gallery, across Wellington and reaching as far as South America. A showcase of time based and audience-dependant work was coordinated annually to recognise the importance of the genre and provide a space for performance work in the Enjoy programme. Curated by Melanie Hogg, the 2006 performance series attempted to highlight fresh new voices working in the medium.

Enjoy Lasting Performance Series also recognised the significant role documentation occupies for performance work. Performance, a temporal and sometimes enigmatic art form often becomes reliant on word of mouth recounts, enveloped in rumour, relayed by conversations and is frequently recorded with textual, photographic or video documentation. Several of the works in Lasting were designed to engage with the quandary of performance documentation, questioning its relevance and drawing out problematic issues in relation to the experience of performance art.
