LIVE PERFORMANCES at SPRING/BREAK ART SHOW

Next week NYC kicks off Armory Week. Thus far, only a few fairs have promoted performance art as a part of their programming (sigh). With the break of Fountain Art Fair from Armory Week this year, performance art viewing possibilities are noticeably lean. 

I am delighted to report however that SPRING/BREAK ART SHOW will present performance art programming throughout the duration of Armory Week thanks to the curatorial selections of AKArt in an exhibition titled, Transgressive Inversions + Identities. The multi-media exhibition will feature works by 7 artists including live performances by KATYA GROKHOVSKY and UJIN LEE. I have always deemed Katya an entertaining, relevant and critical performance artist. This is a wonderful opportunity to view her live works.

According to the press release, Grokhovsky will engage with exhibition attendees during 'Slow Dance', a participatory, live, durational performance-intervention — and 'Status Update', a durational action-intervention, in which digital social media status updates are transported into physical reality via acrylic-on-canvas banners. Lee will present 'Small Rotunda' a participatory, site-specific performance during which Lee fills the exhibition space with a common household item bojagi—traditional cloths collected from Lee’s hometown of Seoul, South Korea, used for wrapping and transporting goods from time immemorial.

For our next Artist Feature, we present the work and words of a provocative and ambitious performance art duo, VestAndPage, Verena Stenke (DE) and Andrea Pagnes (IT). Not only does the collaborative present performances and workshops across the globe, but they also curate the Venice International Performance Art Week. I was lucky enough to meet the pair at Grace Exhibition Space in Brooklyn, NY for their MayDay workshop (2010). During the workshop, VestAndPage reconnected us (the participants) to our bodies, to our breath, our heart rhythms, our physical agility and emotional fragility. It is through these same physical and emotional connections that the pair explores their own work. 

For this feature, I asked Verena and Andrea to discuss their approach toward live performance versus film, their evolution toward performance art  and inspirational/influential artists - questions that I deem integral to this site. They provided wonderfully elaborate and insightful responses of which you can find in full below. I hope you enjoy - Quinn Dukes
