Performance and Subversion

Independent Performance Art program, LiVEART.US invites performance artists of the NYC tri-state area and beyond for an afternoon of Performances and Live Art explorations to express (re)actions to the present socio-political-religious climate created by the new government. The afternoon will consist of presentations, dialogue and tactical actions that address authoritarianism, control, abuse of power, and belligerent decisions that affect a democratic process and people.

LiVEART.US is a platform established to feature works by local, national, and international artists working in Performance Art and its diverse manifestations.Created and organized by interdisciplinary artist, Hector Canonge, LiVEART.US is a Performance Art program series that features works where the body, as main instrument for artistic creation and expression, is the catalyst for sensorial experiences, cultural interpretation, and critical reflection. The program’s main objective is to further support the creation and presentation of new works in Live Action Art in an environment suitable for reflection and dialogue. LiVEART.US follows and complements the monthly program TALKaCTIVE: Performance Art Conversation Series initiated by Canonge in September 2015.

LiVEART.US: Performance & Subversion will take place at the Queens Museum on Sunday, February 26, 2- 5pm.

Interested artists send a brief proposal (300 words), biography, and a couple of images to: LIVEART.US@GMAIL.COM
