Not for Sale 2: Artists’ View
In conjunction with the exhibition Electrifying Art: Atsuko Tanaka, 1954–1968
Not for Sale 2: Artists’ View
Thursday, November 18, 6 pm
Einstein Auditorium, 34 Stuyvesant Street
Moderated by RoseLee Goldberg, art historian and critic, this forum will examine how contemporary performance artists use institutions and the marketplace for their own ends. How does the changing role of the modern museum as lively cultural center shape artists’ ideas about performance? Can today’s performances within museum contexts be as radical and provocative as earlier performances, which were often made outside institutional frameworks? A distinguished panel of artists and curators will address these questions.
