Temporary Autonomous Art as an Uninterrupted Disruption Action

This study, which seeks an anarchist attitude in situations where the distance between aesthetic performance and direct action is narrowing, involves reflecting on Temporary Autonomous Art (TAA) events in the UK, which define themselves as an underground festival of creativity. Since 2001, Temporary Autonomous Art has been carrying out temporary squatting in various forms, and through the underground festivals they organise, Temporary Autonomous Art, which has become a independent group of artists on the one hand and an open community on the other, is taken as an example of the narrowing of the distance between aesthetic performance and direct action. While evaluating temporary autonomous art activities, the concept of disruption is borrowed from Christian Scholl and the criticism is conceptualised as ‘uninterrupted disruption activities’. The trajectory constructed consists of Hakim Bey's ontological anarchism, John Holloway's micropolitics of creating cracks, Mihail Bahtin's carnival, David Graeber's direct activist typology and Nazima Kadir's squatters depictions.
