RoseLee Goldberg discusses the history of performance art and her ongoing support of artists in realising ambitious live performance work through the Performa Biennial, which is set to launch its eighth edition in New York on 1 November.
We want to allow artists the space to take risks and explore. That's my job as a curator: to be mindful of that, to remove the anxieties around exploring something new, and to create a supportive environment around an artist that allows them to take those leaps.
The Ukrainian President spoke at the opening of an exhibition featuring works by artists including JR, Damien Hirst, Marina Abramović, and Takashi Murakami.
Marina Abramović, Pussy Riot, and institutions in both countries spoke out against the Russian invasion.
Takashi Murakami cracked 2.5 million followers this week, but he's a long way behind the most popular artist on the platform.
Entitled CHAOS : CALM, the exhibition seeks to reflect the turbulence, trauma, and angst experienced during the pandemic.
The fair highlighted Taryn Simon, Ren Hang, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Marina Abramović in previous editions.
Despite numerous cancellations and postponements, several significant biennales in Europe and Asia will take place this year.
