PSX - a decade of performance art in the UK

12th to 20th August, 2021

This exhibition marked the 10th anniversary of ]performance s p a c e[, celebrating an auspicious decade as the UK’s only performance art-specific, residential space, studio and gallery with an exhibition of epochal photographs from the ]ps[ archive.

Explicit, unapologetic & poetic; these images act as portals to various collaborations, geographies and moments from ]ps[' past, while projecting that energy into their future(s). The exhibition was activated with live performances by VSSL studio bursary artists Adriana Disman and Kelvin Atmadibrata.
