New York-based “biennial dedicated to live performance across the disciplines” Performa has announced its line-up for the year. From November 1st to the 24th, more then 60 venues from the Bronx Museum to the Grey Gallery are participating in hosting new commissions. Some of the artists will be incorporating live performance into their art for the first […]
I’m 100% comfortable with this headline. I would have also been comfortable with “Look at Lady Gaga’s Naked Nude Boobs and Other Nude Nakedness and Give Marina Abramović Some Money” and also “Lady Gaga and Marina Abramović Make Hot Mutual Masturbation Video.” Last week at a three-day retreat in upstate New York, Marina instructed Lady Gaga in […]
Told you. Now, are you going to calm down about the Kickstarter? Marina Abramović does not need your money. Marina Abramović is Jay Z. Also, Marina Abramović is Lady Gaga now. I told you, the Kickstarter for the Marina Abramović Institute dedicated to the performance, preservation, participation of long durational performance art works and marveling at Marina Abramović is NOT ABOUT […]
“There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY you’re getting in,” Pace rep told my editor. She’s been getting calls about Jay-Z all day. “It’s a closed set.” Jay-Z was shooting a Mark Romanek-directed music video inside a gallery in Chelsea, lip-syncing and dancing with half the New York art world as cameos.

As if Jay Z‘s new song “Picasso Baby” from the upcoming album Magna Carta Holy Grail wasn’t already art enough, the rapper has decided to perform the song at the Pace Gallery — for six hours without stopping. Pace Gallery is “a leading contemporary art gallery representing more than 70 artists and estates, with galleries in New York, […]
Opening tomorrow at the Brooklyn Museum is the much anticipated retrospective of the anonymous artist group The Bruce High Quality Foundation. The exhibition, Ode to Joy, 2001–2013 will feature a massive body “less than 17,000” works. The group, “created to foster an alternative to everything,” is often hyped for their the decision to keep their identities hidden as artists’ […]
If you hadn’t heard already, performance art superstar and James Franco supporter Marina Abramović has already started building the Marina Abramović Institute — a space that “will serve as her legacy and homage to time-based and immaterial art.” As much as this may seem like an honest endeavor by a renowned artist who is fortunate enough to be able […]
Chinese artist Liu Bolin‘s recent “gun rack performance” at Eli Klein Fine Art featured the artist in one of his signature camouflage-style disguise, allowing him to hide in the gallery while remaining in plain sight. The performance is meant to be seen as a direct commentary on China’s recently updated weapons policies regarding knifes as […]
Multi-media artist Hunter Jonakin — maker of our favorite video game Jeff Koons Must Die!!! — is working on a new project. He’s foraying into the realm of performance art. This isn’t art meant to sell a gallery. It’s art meant for you — the audience. Many of these clever performances are deeply rooted in trolling the “art […]
Since yesterday artist Ryder Ripps has been doing a “residency” at Red Bull Music Academy in which he has been continuously drinking Red Bulls and coming up with ideas. Yes, Red Bull let him do this.
