Saturday Sessions is a new program of emerging performance art designed to introduce new performance artists to New York audiences. P.S.1 has had a long tradition of showcasing performance-based art, from the Butoh dance of Min Tanaka to the films of Jack Smith. This is a new formalized series presenting a younger generation of artists.
Free Space is a new collaborative initiative with artists and nonprofit arts institutions in which P.S.1 provides use of its gallery space for exhibitions, events, rehearsals, and other live presentations. Past participants include Marina Abramovic, Kalup Linzy and Printed Matter. Creative Time will be hosting Free Space on January 23 and 24.
