The Live Art Development Agency houses a Study Room as a key resource and is a free, open access research facility used by artists, students, curators, academics and other arts professionals. The Study Room can be used to view artist’s work, read publications, undertake research projects, find out general information about Live Art, opportunities and networks. The Study Room houses one of the largest publicly accessible libraries of Live Art related videos, dvds and publications in the UK and for many people the resource is one of the only opportunities to view documentation of performances that they were unable to experience ‘live’. As part of the continuous development of the Study Room the Agency commissions a range of artists and commentators to write personal Study Room Guides to help navigate users through this resource. The idea is to enable Study Room users to experience the materials in a new way and highlight materials that they may not have otherwise come across.
