TodaysArt 2011 - Belgium
»# LEAP INTO THE VOID -----«
29.09. - 01.10.2011 / Brussels, Belgium

TodaysArt is a festival concept that revolves around the presentation and development of adventurous contemporary visual and performing arts. Since 2005, TodaysArt has brought international artists, thinkers and audiences to The Hague. In 2011, the festival’s outreach was extended through the initiation of TodaysArt Brussels in collaboration with Cimatics.

Conference: The Rise of Performance Architecture

Three days of conferences and performances gave opportunity to architects, urban theorists, performance artists, philosophers and activists to root the origins of contemporary performance architecture and to extend its potentialities regarding future art/urban strategies.
