"Going to Performa had me flying home with a resounding realization that Houston and the art we have happening here is even more important than I thought." 

Often art either asks the audience to ignore their surroundings or references the site as an afterthought — it really thrills me when a site-specific work utilizes the nature of a site to successfully drive a concept home.

Performa commissions new works by artists, and also restages seminal works from performance history.
