The Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival (BIPAF) is constructed as a mass performance.
Taking place in 11 spaces across Brooklyn and involving more than 150 artists from all over the world, BIPAF is seen as a form of “constructive institutional critique” by its artist-organizers. It is a demonstration against the increasing capitalisation of performance art, as a self-analysis of the current performance art resurgence and index of the discipline. It is also an attempt to construct new economic and social contexts for performance art.
Performance artists from around the world will be performing, for example “Untranslatable Words – Brooklyn NY” by Devrot Meron, which is a participative performance along the M line Brooklyn. The schedule shows all the works that can be experienced over the course of the festival, which runs from July 4th – 28th.
