As per-formed

Our sister gallery, CU Denver Experience Gallery, is also participating in PAW with an installed exhibition called As Per-formed, focused on the tangible artifact often resulting from performative and time-based artworks. Performance artists working in all media (iron, audio, projection, social media, durational works, collaborations, spoken word) are encouraged to submit the intentional and arbitrary results of live performative artworks. Artists are asked to consider the visual aftermath of a live action: residual forms, props, outfits, photographs, video clips, publications, and more.
