ABSTRACT
A range of artists have painted, filmed, written about and performed everyday experiences, whether war photographers, domestic playwrights, crime authors, still-life painters or folk balladeers reciting a working life on the canals. This creative ‘life as art’ representation of everyday cultural practices is different while not dissociated from ‘art as life’; an understanding of life driven by creativity, epitomized by Bohemia and championed by avant-gardist and participatory arts practices.
