Live Laboratory Symposium and Durational Performances, Exhibition and Publication
21 - 24 January 2010
Plymouth Arts Centre presents The Pigs of Today are the Hams of Tomorrow,
a curatorial collaboration with the Marina Abramović Institute for
Preservation of Performance Art. The Pigs of Today are the Hams of
Tomorrow will stage, document and discuss groundbreaking international
performance art in order to examine and sustain the future of the medium.
This
is the first curatorial project of the Marina Abramović Institute.
Marina Abramović has pioneered performance art for over four decades on
an international scale. Her major retrospective at the Museum of Modern
Art, New York, opens in March 2010.
Ideas for the Institute are mapped in The Reading Room by Transmedia art students Brussels, Sven Goyvaerts & Filip Daniels.
