Are you sick of artists being asked to do something for
free? Here’s your chance to join a good
cause!
The sixth edition of L.A.’s premier performance art
gathering will present over 40 performers, distributed across a host of
Chinatown galleries and public spaces on the 26th of July between 12
Noon and 10 PM.
This Indiegogo campaign is to raise funds in order to pay
the performers of Perform Chinatown for the first time. We’ve got art, music and commemorative
T-shirts in exchange for your contributions, which will be divided equally
amongst the performers. Even if you can’t
donate anything, please share this campaign on your social media sites. Thank you for your help!
This year’s rendition pools the complementary curatorial
talents of Doug Harvey (Chain Letter, LA Weekly Annual Biennials), Lee Lynch (The Murder of Hi Good, headmaster of
Teenage Wasteland of the Arts), and Paige Wery (Artillery magazine, The Good
Luck Gallery).
Perform Chinatown 2014 : CHAOS REIGNS! stretches the
boundaries of Performance Art to include live experimental music, historical
reenactments, survivalist workshops, guided meditation rituals, chess tournaments,
poetry, dance, video, and food – as well as the cutting edge New Genre
happenings that define the field.
