Performa 09 is the third biennial of new visual art performance, held in collaboration with 80 institutions, and featuring more than 150 international artists in about 110 events organised by 40 international curators—all in just three weeks. That dizzying set of statistics is being overseen by director RoseLee Goldberg, who set up the non-profit arts organisation Performa in 2004 and has done much to bring performance art and its history to the fore, as much through her writings as through her teaching and curatorial work, turning the public eye on to such performance artists as Marina Abramovic and Laurie Anderson. “The major difference for Performa 09 compared with previous biennials is that we’re commissioning from all disciplines, encompassing art, music, dance, poetry, fashion, architecture, film, television, design, food—it’s crossing all disciplines, and that is the big leap forward this year,” said Goldberg. Her major contribution this year is the “Performa Commissions” series, which forms the nerve centre of the biennial, alongside, for the first time, a “Performa Premieres” programme featuring six pieces never before seen in New York. The 11 new commissions are by Guy Ben-Ner, Candice Breitz, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Omer Fast, Yeondoo Jung, Mike Kelley, Arto Lindsay, Wangechi Mutu, Christian Tomaszewski, Futurist Life Redux and Music for 16 Futurist Noise Intoners (a group of experimental musicians and composers). South African video and installation artist Candice Breitz is presenting New York New York, 2009, her first live performance work. The piece features two casts, made up of identical twins performing on identical sets, spontaneously responding to scripts given to them on the spot. Unlike the performers, viewers will be able to take in both performances in real time. Other highlights in this programme include Yeondoo Jung’s Cinemagician, 2009, at the Asia Society—a theatre piece, commissioned with the Yokohama Festival for Video and Social Technology, that looks at the relationship between magic and cinema—and Omer Fast’s first live performance piece, commissioned with the Artis Contemporary Israeli Art Fund, which looks at history and memory through the re-enaction of a childhood storytelling game. The six artists chosen for the “Performa Premieres” programme are Keren Cytter, Tacita Dean, Alicia Framis, Loris Gréaud, William Kentridge and Joan Jonas. British artist Tacita Dean is presenting Craneway Event, 2009, at Danspace Project in the Bowery. This feature-length work shows the choreographer Merce Cunningham and his company in rehearsal in a deserted Ford motor factory in California, marking Cunningham’s last appearance on film before his death in July. South African artist William Kentridge is showing I Am Not Me, the Horse is Not Mine, 2009, a work related to his current opera-in-progress inspired by Dmitri Shostakovich’s 1928 satirical opera “The Nose”, and French artist Loris Gréaud is showing a video of a fireworks display in Abu Dhabi that he co-designed with Groupe F. There are related events across the city involving architecture, design, dance, film, music and food. Berlin-based architecture collective An Architektur is creating a “living think-tank” about the future of architecture in New York, Spanish designer Marti Guixé is staging Mealing, a three-hour performance involving 200 people and “edible microsnacks”, and Jennifer Rubell stages Creation on the opening night of the biennial, with a series of food installations at X Initiative.

The China Institute unveils a glance of China that has never before been seen in the US. Unlike most Chinese contemporary art’s tendency toward the glamorous and commercial, the new documentary photography exhibit will feature photographs from 1951 through 2003 that present intimate portraits of rural and urban daily life in China, beyond the glossy veneer of the economic boom. This exhibit will feature Dr Jerome Silbergeld’s (Professor of Chinese Art History, Princeton University) selected 100 photographs by more than 80 photographers, a version that narrows the original exhibit organized by the Guangdong Museum of Art which contained 600 images by 248 photographers, the first large-scale collection of photography acquired permanently by any museum in China. From photographs of a tragic husband remembering a deceased wife and a fearful crowd of victims fleeing the floodwaters to an elated lottery-winner displaying his wads of cash, the exhibit’s themes span the vast array of human emotions that is present in daily life. The Director of China Institute Gallery, Willow Hai Chang, notes, “The medium and language of photography provide an exceptional opportunity to foster a dialogue, enhancing communication and understanding about everyday life in China.”

Following an extensive renovation, El Museo del Barrio opens with two inaugural exhibitions. The first, “Nexus New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis”, looks at how Latin American and Caribbean artists worked with and influenced American-born artists in New York in the early 20th century, helping to form the avant-garde movements of this period. Around 75 works are on show alongside various documentation. The second, “Voces y Visiones: Four Decades Through El Museo del Barrio’s Permanent Collection”, is a display of El Museo’s permanent collection held in the new Carmen Ana Unanue Galleries, which traces El Museo’s history as one of the oldest and largest collections of modern Latin American art in the US.

The Lost World of Old Europe brings to the US for the first time more than 160 objects recovered by archaeologists from the graves, towns, and villages of Old Europe, a cycle of related cultures that achieved a precocious peak of sophistication and creativity in what is now southeastern Europe between 5000 and 4000 BC, and then mysteriously collapsed by 3500 BC.

The Milkmaid, 1658, perhaps the most celebrated painting by Johannes Vermeer, goes on Vermeer’s Masterpiece The Milkmaiddisplay in the US for the first time in 70 years. The work is being loaned to the Metropolitan Museum by the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, to mark the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage from that city to New York. The exhibition places the painting alongside all five of the Metropolitan’s canvases by Vermeer together with engravings and drawings illuminating the theme, as well as works by other Delft artists including Pieter de Hooch, Gabriël Metsu, Hendrick van Vliet and Hendrick Sorgh, who were all active during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century.

The first comprehensive exhibition of 18th-century Chinese artist Luo Ping organised in the US. The exhibition includes a loan of around 60 works from China, as well as a smaller selection of pieces from American collections. One of the highlights of the show is the handscroll Ghost Amusements, around 1766, depicting a haunted world of ghosts that the artist claimed he could see. Luo created the images by first wetting the paper before painting on it with ink, resulting in blurred, phantom-like figures. H.S.

One of the museum’s most popular canvases, a monumental triptych of Monet’s garden pond at Giverny, is the centrepiece of this show, which brings together all of the impressionist’s late works in the collection. Other paintings on view include The Japanese Footbridge, 1920-22, and Agapanthus, 1918-19, as well as loans from other museums. Organised by MoMA’s chief curator of painting and sculpture, Ann Temkin, the display opened at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta this summer as part of an ongoing collaboration between the two institutions, with support from Bank of America.

For the first time ever, the New Museum has invited one artist to completely take over the museum. Swiss artist Urs Fischer, working with organising curator Massimiliano Gioni, will transform the entire gallery space in what Gioni calls an “introspective” (rather than retrospective) exhibition, which he hopes will “feel like stepping inside the artist’s mind”. The exhibition came about after Gioni worked with Fischer for a 2005 solo show at the Trussardi Foundation in Milan, where he is the director. “For that show, Urs realised this gigantic iron tree, which is now in the collection of François Pinault, and his famous House of Bread,” says Gioni. “At the time I was very impressed by Urs’ ability to stage large interventions and solve them as sort of magical gestures…So when I started working at the New Museum, it only came natural to think of Urs as an ideal candidate for taking over the whole museum. The scale and the ambition of his work also needs space to resonate. And after more than a year in our new home we felt the New Museum was ready to change gear and try out a new format.” Gioni promises this will be an exhibition unlike traditional solo shows, where a wish-list of works to include is drawn up and existing pieces are borrowed from public and private collections. “The show grew as a sort of living creature,” says Giono. “To tell you the truth, we are one month away from the show and we don’t even have a complete checklist and I have a feeling we will get to one only once the show opens.” Instead, Gioni says 90% of the works on view are new or pieces Fischer has been working on for the past four years and have only recently been completed. Some previously shown pieces will be included, such as Noisette, 2009, a large fleshy tongue that pops out of a hole in the wall as visitors walk by, triggering a motion sensor. But the main display on the second floor is an installation Fischer has been working on and expanding for year. Consisting of more than 50 chrome box sculptures, the tallest at around 12 feet high, arranged like miniature buildings filling the gallery, with images of everyday objects silk-screened on their mirrored surfaces. “The effect will be like walking in a city grid,” says Gioni. “It will be like walking through a collage that unravels in front of your eyes, a maze of images of which the visitors will also become a part as their bodies get reflected onto the boxes.” Not surprisingly, this ambitious show is a one-off. “The vast majority of the works has been realised for the New Museum and the whole show is pretty much site specific. Both Urs and I were clear from the beginning that this show was not going to travel, that it would exist in this configuration only here.” Above, Marguerite de Ponty, 2006-08. Helen Stoilas

Tracing the influences of Byzantine and Renaissance art on artist workshops in 15th- and 16th-century Crete—the background in which the old master painter El Greco was trained—this exhibition brings together 46 works that demonstrate the relationship of Cretan icon painters with Western European art. The show includes early works by El Greco as well as panel paintings by his immediate predecessors and contemporary on loan from public and private collections in Greece, Europe, the US and Canada, and many of them traveling to the States for the first time. The show is curated by Dr Anastasia Drandaki, curator of the Byzantine collection at the Benaki Museum, Athens.

The idea behind “100 Years”, which is is held in conjunction with the Performa 09 biennial, is to outline a history of performance art, marking the 100 years that have passed since the futurist manifesto was published. Images, documentation and films of performances, happenings and events trace such key works as Allan Kaprow’s 18 Happenings in 6 Parts, 1959, Yves Klein’s Anthropométrie de l’Epoque Bleue, 1960, Yoko Ono’s Bed In (Bed Peace), 1969, Matthew Barney’s Drawings Restraint, 1987-present, Tilda Swinton’s The Maybe, 1995, and Tino Sehgal’s Kiss, 2004. A different version of the show is at the Julia Stoschek Collection in Düsseldorf, Germany (until 31 July 2010). This show, curated by Klaus Biesenbach, PS1 chief curatorial adviser and MoMA chief curator of media and performance art, and RoseLee Goldberg, Performa’s director, is supported by the Annual Exhibition Fund of PS1 Contemporary Art Center and the Julia Stoschek Foundation.
