Stuart Brisley (born in 1933 in Haslemere, Surrey, England) is widely regarded as the seminal figure of British performance art. Over a career of half a century Stuart Brisley has come to the conclusion, as stated in his recent novel "Beyond Reason: Ordure" (2003) that 'what goes down comes up'. Although often hailed as the 'godfather of British performance art', Brisley is a more complex figure, whose practice extends to painting, community projects and pseudo-curatorial installations. Brisley has been at the forefront of experimentation and political debate within the visual arts – performance artist, painter, sculptor, writer, sound artist, film and video maker, uniting all these working methods is a concern for things that have fallen down (detritus on the streets, human excrement), or have been otherwise marginalised (miners, bin men).
