Performa 11

Biennial Consortium

The Performa Consortium spotlights New York’s extraordinarily innovative and groundbreaking cultural institutions, and celebrates the intellectual and creative history of this city, forging at the same time an entirely new collaborative model for presenting New York as the leading cultural capital of the future.

To program this year’s biennial, Performa drew upon the rich cultural landscape of New York City by partnering with innovative arts and cultural organizations. Working with this consortium of presenting partners, the biennial creates a lively dialogue through different disciplines working and thinking together. This collaboration creates an exciting cultural atmosphere; a unique cross-pollination think tank with an exchange of ideas, sharing of resources, and new connections between organizations and arts professionals.
