Zabih Performance Festival 2018

On 2-6, May in Lviv will be held the International performance festival ZABIH, which is going to unite more than 20 artists from Ukraine and Poland.

 

The program of the festival consists of performances, public events, lectures, and live communication. The gallery “Dzyga” will present the special video program of the festival - videodocumentations of performative works of the festival participants. The prime locations are Lviv Academy of Arts, Museum of Ideas, Museyna Square, Jam Factory Infopoint, factory “Rema”, etc.

 

The festival aims to establish a place for communication, popularization, and development of performance – full-fledged media in the environment of the modern art of Ukraine.

 

The organizer – performance-project ZABIH – positions the festival as one of its experiments. Starting ZABIH, the artist becomes one with the time, space, action, object, thought. Every time this is the experiment on ourselves, surrounding people and our trajectory. The moment of not-knowing (the moment of improvisation) loosens the personal boundaries more and more. The process is more important than the final point. The process becomes the result.

 

ZABIH – performance-project, created by the graduates of the School of performance, as the platform for experiment, development, and seeking innovative ways in this art. Leveraging the principles of openness, experiment, and collaboration, the participants of the project create both personal and collective action, bringing performance to the level of full-fledged media in the environment of modern art of Ukraine.
