Parallel times - performance now
Performance art is always created in relation to the present and in dialogue to the place and time it is in. PAO Festival 2018 Parallel times - performance now, is creating a platform where older generation performance artists come in dialogue with the younger generation.
This years focus explore how performance art developed historically within its context and drawing lines to the present, examine how it is infuenced by its contemporary time. How have political, technological, media and other contemporary themes infuenced performance as expression? Artists already active on 80 / 90s, and artists born in the 80 / 90s will give us their interpretation of the present-day.
Artist talks
Artists are invited to hold short performative presentations of their work and approach to performance. After the talks we open for dialogue with questions and answers between the artists and the public.
Exhibition / Video programme
We will show photography by festival photographer Henry Chan (CA) and video programme curated by Tanja Thorjussen of PAO with a programme from Kjartan Slettemark and Megan Toye (CA) with a programme from Franklin Furnace Archive NY.
This year the festival will be documented through drawings by visual artists Irene León and Miguel Panadero (ES).
