Performa 09, the third biennial of new visual art performance, will be held in New York City from November 1-22, 2009. The three-week festival will feature new Performa Commissions and an exciting program of performances, exhibitions, educational forums, public art projects, publications, film screenings, and radio, Internet, and television broadcasts. Presented with a consortium of more than 60 arts institutions and a network of public and private venues across the city, Performa 09 will showcase the work of more than 100 international artists, as seen from many different curatorial viewpoints, in a lively, performance-driven “festival as think tank” that will be a catalyst for envisioning the cultural future of New York City.

Over its three week-run, Performa 09’s innovative program will break down the boundaries between visual art, music, dance, poetry, fashion, architecture, film, television, radio, graphic design, and the culinary arts, presenting over 110 events in collaboration with a consortium of more than 80 of the city’s leading arts institutions, 40 curators from around the world, and a network of public and private venues throughout the city.

Events including:
An Architektur / Project Projects / Canadian Center for Architecture (CCA) / Storefront For Art & Architecture / Cooper Union / The Van Alen Institute / Public School For Architecture / Paul Elliman / Khatt Foundation / and more

All architecture programs are FREE and open to the public.
