Performance Art

The 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 is one of the first encyclopedic museums in the US to fully integrate performance art into its collection, exhibitions, and programs. Performance art at the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 features a range of works by international, national and local artists, and encompasses a spectrum of live and participatory experiences, such as performances that unfold in the Museum鈥檚 galleries and engage with its collection, works that form part of cross-media contemporary art exhibitions, and interventions that appear in unexpected spaces inside the Museum or outdoors.

Since the opening of the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art in 2011, the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 has commissioned dozens of performance artworks and organized multi-artist, one-day performance art exhibitions, including Odd Spaces and Onto Objects: Performances by Patty Chang & Jeffery Gibson. These foundational, artist-driven projects questioned the role of performance art in a museum environment and reframed visitor鈥檚 experiences of objects in the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播鈥檚 encyclopedic collection.

The 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 has likewise presented a growing number of contemporary exhibitions across media that incorporate performance art into their checklists, including: Permission To Be Global/Pr谩cticas Globales: Latin American Art from the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection, Shinique Smith: BRIGHT MATTER, Conversation Piece, Crafted: Objects in Flux.

Key acquisitions related to performance art include Amalia Pica鈥檚 Now Speak!, Pedro Reyes鈥� Colloquium and Lee Mingwei鈥檚 Sonic Blossom. A 2014 presentation of Joan Jonas鈥� Reanimation, her first major work performed in Boston, lead to the acquisition of a related installation, Ice Drawing Sculpture.

Video documentation of select performance artworks can be viewed below, and a chronological archive of past presentations can be accessed in the Performance Art Archive.
