The first and currently the sole one annual Festival of Performance Art in Lviv and in Ukraine!

The Days of Performance Art in Lviv


It's an annual festival involving meetings with artists, lectures, video screenings and, in fact,  performances themselves presented by prominent and well-known masters as well as by young and interesting  generation of performers.

In 2006 the Polish Institute in Kyiv launched the first festival of performance in Ukraine - the Days of Performance Art.

In 2008 the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Dzyga  Art Association joined the Festival as the co-organisers. 

The same year the Festival was successfully realised in Lviv as a mighty autonomous block within the TYZHDEN/Week of Contemporary Art project, and it has evoked a keen response in mass media and among artists and art critics. The School of Performance was initiated just that time as well.  

The subsequent Days of Performance Art  (2009, 2010) have already felt themselves "at home" in Lviv .

2010

In 2010 the School of  Performance  was held within  the Tyzhden/Week of Contemporary Art and the Days of Performance Art  from 23 to 26 August. The classes were conducted by  Janusz Baldyga and  Barbara Sturm, the known master & scholar of contemporary art from Austria.
