Performa Brings Innovative Art to New York
This year's Performa, New York's performance art biennial, features a diverse range of projects, including digital doubles, kids reciting animal noises, and a pop-rock supergroup singing protest songs.
The biennial's main slate of eight commissions includes projects by seven women: Aria Dean, Sylvie Fleury, Camille Henrot, Ayoung Kim, Lina Lapelytė, Tau Lewis, and Diane Severin Nguyen, as well as a male-female duo, Pakui Hardware.
"We weren’t trying to make a feminist statement; these are just the artists who came to the fore,"
says RoseLee Goldberg, the biennial's founding director and chief curator. The artists are dealing with pressing issues in subtle and nuanced ways.
