Jason and Michael are hanging out at the Time-Based Art Festival (TBA) this week, and I’m looking forward to hearing/reading their reports. We should have more from them later on, but in the meantime here’s a snippet from Michael’s blog:
The Time-Based Art Festival kicks off in full force tonight in Portland, OR, and yours truly is thrilled to be here. For those of us who identify with the Time-Based Arts, PICA’s annual TBA is somewhat of a Mecca. And unlike Performa, it’s a festival artists can actually afford to see!
This year is the second year I’ve had the pleasure of attending. I was here in 2008 when Mark Russell (of the NY Public Theater) was the curator; the lineup was amazing then, and this year’s programming promises not to disappoint either. We’ve got the Wooster Group, Shirin Neshat, Charles Atlas, Jérôme Bel, and so many more! Tonight I’m kicking off the festivities with Mike Daisey, and will continue to report on all the excitement as it unfolds this week!
