Performance is alive Presents 4-days of programming during miami art week once again at satellite art show

---

Performance is Alive brings yet another ambitious, 4-day performance art program to Miami Beach for Satellite Art Show. This year's program features interactive performances, durational works, a panel discussion with slumber party, performance video screenings, lectures and because performance is never entirely predictable, the unknown! PIA artists are encountering the complexity of migration,  oppressive patriarchal constructs, trans identity, mental health care, silencing, race relations and many other human rights issues threatened by the Trump administration. So join us for the only non-stop performance art uprising during Miami Art Basel! #AliveAtSatellite #notbasel #performanceisalive

​SATELLITE ART SHOW was created in 2015 as an opportunity for young dealers, artist-run spaces and non-profits to exhibit during Miami Art Week. Since its conception, SATELLITE has grown in scale and prominence and not features art-based projects by established commercial galleries, socially engaged non-profits, and international alternative spaces. By fostering a range of programming, SATELLITE is able to offer patrons and collectors with a unique experience where art is at the forefront of creative expression, activism, and curiosity, In this way, SATELLITE is the antagonist to the standard fair and in turn, fills the voids left by Miami Art Week's soullessness through collaboration, direct engagement, and fun. SATELLITE is your chance to experience what art is without the restrictions customary to traditional settings! SATELLITE is an artist-run organization consisting of team members: Brian Andrew Whiteley, Alex Paik, Jesse Bandler Firestone and Quinn Dukes.
