Join us next Tuesday, 04 March at 1pm for a captivating talk by the internationally renowned curator Defne Ayas. Splitting her time between the vibrant art scenes of Berlin and New York, Ayas has been shaping the landscape of contemporary performance as a curator at large with Performa since 2005. Performa NYC, is the leading organisation dedicated to examining the critical role of live performance in the history of twentieth-century art, advocating innovative directions for the twenty-first century.
In an illuminating discussion, Ayas delves into the dynamic role of curating during current times of emergency, sharing her passion for reinventing cultural platforms, creating alliances with artists that focusses on the live medium in the field of contemporary art. We also learn more about Ayas ongoing investigation on ways artists can influence future vectors of reality, art, politics, and representation.
In this talk Ayas highlights key projects from her tenure as Senior Programme Advisor and Curator at Large at Performa, and her instrumental role in launching the acclaimed Biennial program, celebrated globally as the first of its kind to spotlight the rich history of performance in art.
This talk forms part of Defne Ayas research visit organised and supported by the initiative IRELAND INVITES, a 3-year pilot in collaboration between IMMA, Hugh Lane Gallery, and Culture Ireland which aims at showcasing Irish visual art to the international biennale circuit.
