MoMA is responding to the growing interest in live performance with How Are We Performing Today? a symposium on the rising popularity of performance-related art and its relationship to the museum, focusing on the character and and consequences of new performance formats and strategies used by artists, curators and institutions.
It will address questions like: Where and under what conditions does performance art emerge today? How can artists and institutions address performance's migration from the margins to the centre of contemporary art discourse? What kinds of transformations or conditions might be necessary to create a meaningful or critically engaged performance art programme in an art museum?
How Are We Performing takes place at MoMA tomorrow (Friday 16th NY time) from 1:00 - 7:00 pm and the event will be streamed live online.
