THE NY ART BOOK FAIR
17-19 November 2006
Presented by Printed Matter, Inc.
PERFORMA: New Visual Art Performance, a new book published by PERFORMA and scheduled for release in spring 2007, will feature extensive documentation of work by the 100 artists who made the first performance biennial so extraordinary. It will offer an exciting view into contemporary visual art and ‘perform’ as a collective artists’ journal might. Photographs of each artist’s performance, by Paula Court, will be accompanied by their texts, sketches, and storyboards; interviews with artists including Francis Alys, Tamy Ben-Tor, Jesper Just, Laurie Simmons, Mike Smith, and curators and critics Jens Hoffmann and Michael Rush, amongst others, will appear alongside texts by PERFORMA curators including Lia Gangitano, Sofia Hernandez, Anthony Huberman, and Jay Sanders. Goldberg’s introduction will address the many performance forms presented at the biennial, from radio broadcast to site specific projects, video installations, new music, historic reconstructions, and lecture-as-performance among them. With its extensive coverage of each artist’s work, histories of the presenting venues, and overall characterization of the international performance scene today, PERFORMA will be both an invaluable reference to contemporary art and new media as well as a new kind of guide to cultural life in New York City.

Laurie Simmons film to be presented in London
On October 13, The Music of Regret, PERFORMA05 artist Laurie Simmons’s first film, will be presented in London by Artprojx with Salon 94 and PERFORMA. The Music of Regret is a three-act cinematic musical starring Meryl Streep, Adam Guettel’s voice, and members of the Alvin Ailey II dance company, plus a cast of vintage puppets and ventriloquist dummies. Shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman (Far From Heaven, The Virgin Suicides) with a bittersweet, Sondheim-flavored score by Michael Rohatyn, the film portrays the despair and longing that has colored the post-9/11 era. Simmons was the recipient of a PERFORMA Commission for the 2005 biennial, at which she showed The Music of Regret as a work in progress. The screening will be followed by a discussion between Simmons and PERFORMA Director RoseLee Goldberg.

Daniel Buren premieres his New York performance in which his signature colored stripes come alive on stage. Colors overlap, harmonize, appear, and disappear at the artist’s direction. Subsequently, the performers tear the papers off, revealing odd shapes and lacerated bits of the forgotten colors underneath.
Couleurs Superpos??es: Acte VII will be Daniel Buren’s first performance in New York since 1973.
