Pals - performance art links

Fylkingen, Stockholm

Premiere for a brand new performance art festival in Stockholm!

The 20th to 22nd of April Fylkingen has the great pleasure of inviting you to PALS, a brand new festival for performance art in Stockholm! The core of performance art is to be found in its presence in the now, in the unique meeting between the artist and her audience. During three days we show works by internationally renowned performance artists -live, here, and now. We have brought artists of different ages, from various countries and circumstances together as a part of the continuous linking between different contexts that is taking place in the international performance art scene

During the festival startup week we are holding a workshop where a number of experienced artists work together with art students from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland and USA. The students will together with the other festival particiants during the Sunday participate in the concluding part of the festival : ”A Performance art guide to ordinary life”.
