About us
PAE is an international orientating organization whose goal is to show the diversity of performance art.
Therefore PAE would like to realize performance art in close collaboration with the artist by offering support for creating ideal conditions mainly focused on the specific needs of the artist. The current condition, with exceptions excluded, is that this art form usually is attached to other types of events and doesn’t always get the attention and appreciation it deserves. Performance art seems difficult to (re)present if one would approach it from the more established art institutions, which are more aimed at conserving and sale (art galleries museums, theater). Contrary to them PAE has been trying to find a more appropriate form by organizing events dedicated to performance art alone. PAE offers more space for improvisation on the actual situation in the most radical sense. The emerging intensity becomes an important aspect of the work. The perishable character, aimed at the moment, could be considered as a starting point of performance, possibly a rebellion against the over-defined and static position of art history.
