33 Fragments of Russian Performance
By Yulia Aksenova and Anya Harrison
As part of Performa 11’s official program, 33 Fragments of Russian Performance (November 2-21, 2011) was a joint project organized by Garage Center for Contemporary Culture and Performa. The exhibition, housed at the Performa Hub on Mott Street in SoHo, offered a foundation for one of the curatorial premises of this year’s biennial, Russian Constructivism. Taking the Russian futurist opera Victory Over the Sun (1913) as its starting point, 33 Fragments traced a fragmented genealogy of performance in Russia through archival documentation of the performances, actions and gestures that have shaped its history.
