Performa 09 Closing Party: Nov. 22, 3-6pm
On the occasion of Performa 09, an exhibition drafting a short history of actions, events, situations, happenings, and performances beginning with the Futurist manifesto in 1909 and continuing to the present. “100 Years (Version #2)” represents an exciting collaboration between MoMA and P.S.1 with Performa in New York and the Julia Stoschek Foundation in Dusseldorf. For each version to come of this exhibition as it tours, work–ranging from artistic gesture to viewer participation–can be added to or subtracted from, or include a greater local emphasis, depending on where the exhibition takes place.
Organized by P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in collaboration with Performa. Co-curated by Klaus Biesenbach and RoseLee Goldberg. Made possible by The Annual Exhibition Fund at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and with generous support from Julia Stoschek Foundation.
In conjunction with 100 Years, Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) has organized a special presentation “45 Years of Performance Video from EAI.” Featuring works from 1965 to the present, this survey highlights over four decades of artists’ performances created specifically for video, from conceptual exercises of the late 1960s to new, digitally-mediated performance narratives.
12-6pm, Thursday through Sunday
FREE – with entry to P.S.1
Exhibition on view until April 5, 2010
