Garage Auditorium, 19.00, Free
Limited Places, drop in early to avoid disappointment
In the past, art has often used the means of the body, word and movements,
subsequently, performance to communicate complex thoughts. Today, as art has
become increasingly commercialized, the art of “gesture” has fallen into the
shade, as evidenced by the comparatively small number of authors in the art
scene who still favor performance. Come and find out more about performance art
and the following questions:
Why are the boundaries between art and life erased and the language of
performance stolen by advertising and politics? Is the "other performance"
possible today and what is its place in the street, at the gallery or on the
internet?
Particularly being considered will be the possible ways that performance can
develop as a genre, specifically in relation to Russian Actionism.
