PSi #13 will coincide with PERFORMA07, PERFORMA's second international performance biennial.
ABOUT PERFORMA
PERFORMA is a non-profit multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to exploring the critical role of live performance in the history of twentieth century art and to encouraging new directions in performance for the twenty-first century. Part of PERFORMA’s mission is to present a biennial of visual art performance in New York City that illuminates the critical role of performance in the history of art as well as its enormous significance in the international world of contemporary art. The PERFORMA05 biennial offered an exciting program of performances, exhibitions, symposia, and film screenings organized in collaboration with a consortium of leading museums, galleries, alternative spaces, and independent curators in New York. The first of its kind, PERFORMA05 was an enormous critical and popular success and set a new standard for the positioning of live performance in the international contemporary art world. Over 25,000 people attended sold-out and filled-to-capacity events at more than 20 venues across the city, activating and animating all of New York, from Harlem to Wall Street. PERFORMA was founded in 2004 by art historian and curator RoseLee Goldberg. PERFORMA07, the second biennial of new visual art performance, will take place in New York City from November 1-20, 2007. www.performa-arts.org

1) Jerome Bel
Pichet Klunchun and myself
Nov 9th or 10th at 7:30pm
Dance Theater Workshop
Co-presented by Dance Theater Workshop and PERFORMA for PERFORMA07
Confronting traditional notions of performance, France’s Jerome Bel returns to Dance Theater Workshop with Pichet Klunchen and myself, a witty theatrical documentary of an intellectual encounter between two men. Pichet Klunchen and myself stages the meeting between traditional Thai dancer Pichet Klunchen and conceptual French choreographer Jerome Bel. Through a lively mixture of physical demonstration and spirited verbal debate, Jerome and Pichet’s lucid, humorous quest for understanding one another despite the abyssal cultural gap dividing them reminds us why contemporary art is worth caring about in the first place.
2) Isaac Julien and Russell Maliphant
Cast No Shadow
November 9th or 10th
BAM Harvey Theater
House Seats
Isaac Julien, Small Boats Series, 2007
Courtesy of the artist, Victoria Miro Gallery, London and Metro Pictures, New York
A PERFORMA Commission with Sadler's Wells for PERFORMA07 at the BAM 25th Next Wave Festival. Co-commissioned by Dance Umbrella (London) and co-produced by Espace Des Arts, Scène Nationale de Chalon-sur-Saône. Produced by Sadler's Wells and PERFORMA.
Visual artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien’s first evening length production, Cast No Shadow, brings to life Julien’s extraordinary triptych of films-- True North, Fantôme Afrique, and Small Boats-- in a remarkable work for the stage. In collaboration with acclaimed British choreographer Russell Maliphant, Cast No Shadow uses shifting geographical landscapes -- from the North Pole, to Burkina Faso, to Sicily-- and bodies in motion that at times seem to spill directly from the film onto the dance floor, to reveal deeply poignant stories of expedition and migration.
3) “18 Happenings in Six Parts” by Allan Kaprow.
A Reconstruction of Allan Kaprow’s seminal 1959 happening “18 Happenings in Six Parts.” The event from which the term happening was derived, and the piece that critically helped initiate the turn towards performance and environment art in the 1960s. The original performance took place at the Rueben Gallery in the fall of 1959. Performa is proud to bring the recreation of this historic evening to New York, after its premiere in Munich as part of a Kaprow retrospective “Allan Kaprow: Art As Life” curated by Stephanie Rosenthal (Haus der Kunst, Munich), Eva Meyer-Hermann (Eindhoven).
Special performance for PSi participants Sunday afternoon and evening.

4) PERFORMA: NEW VISUAL ART PERFORMANCE Full color book.
A catalog and historical record of the world’s first performance biennial, which took place in New York City in November 2005, PERFORMA: NEW VISUAL ART PERFORMANCE is also an artists’ journal and reference tool authored by PERFORMA founder RoseLee Goldberg, who pioneered the study of performance art with her seminal book Performance Art from Futurism to the Present (1979).
PERFORMA: NEW VISUAL ART PERFORMANCE presents an authoritative introduction to the genre's many forms–including radio broadcast, dance, live installation, new technologies, film and video, music, historic reconstructions and lecture-as-performance—and provides a vivid tour through the world of contemporary performance, featuring inventive documentation of works by some of the most significant artists of our time, including Jesper Just, Francis Alÿs, Christian Marclay, Laurie Simmons, Tamy Ben-Tor, Melik Ohanian, Michael Smith, Christian Holstad, and Gelitin. Vibrant photographs of each artist's performance by renowned performance photographer Paula Court are accompanied by their scripts, sketches and storyboards, providing unique insight into their creative processes. Lively interviews with many of the artists who made the first biennial so extraordinary appear alongside context-setting essays by some of New York's most accomplished young curators.
An invaluable reference tool, a new kind of guide to cultural life, and a time capsule of this very moment in New York's eminent history of performance, PERFORMA: NEW VISUAL ART PERFORMANCE captures the state of performance today in all of its beauty, complexity, and excitement.
