Perrrformat is dedicated to the presentation and documentation of performative practices at changing locations in and around Zurich. In close collaboration with the invited artists, the forms of the performative beyond the classical institutional framework are explored within the framework of four to six performances per year under the title "Perrrformat presents...", thus occupying the (semi-)public space. Another main focus lies on the specific documentation of the performances. In the course of time, an archive of performative practices consisting of photography, video, text and other documents will thus be created, which will be freely accessible via our website.
The curatorial direction of Perrrformat is held by Luca Büchler (artist), Martina Morger (artist), Paula Thomaka (cultural scientist) and Monica Unser (art historian). Carolina Misztela is in charge for Perrrformats Communication and Social Media.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us by mail.
