Performance Space New York

Expanding the boundaries of live performance since 1980. It demonstrated PS122’s capacity as a laboratory for not just art, but community.

Founded by artists as Performance Space 122 in an abandoned school building at 150 First Avenue in the East Village, New York. Performance Space 122 began in 1980, emerging from a city struggling with high rates of poverty, crime, racial strife, and drugs, as well as the deaths of many vital artists and thinkers in the AIDS epidemic. In our theaters PS122 was able to foster an open and accessible

culture of aesthetic risk-taking and social experimentation by providing artists working in performance with a safe space to test their own creativity, express revolutionary ideas, and share artistic practices with adventurous audiences. Challenging and fun, PS122’s Open Movement created a social glue that nurtured many of the choreographers, dancers, performance artists, and anyone inspired enough to join in. The first decades of PS122 also succeeded in connecting audiences to vital provocateurs who catalyzed debates and social change at national and international levels. As decades passed the city became cleaner, safer, greener and more expensive, and the neighborhood gentrified. Although PS122 became an “institution” during this time, we also managed to retain our gritty non-conformist character and engage artists in a dynamic and supportive environment. PS122 continued to invest in ground-breaking artists and build our local, national, and international reputation, all the while navigating the waters of a recession, shifting expectations, and a major capital renovation of our home.

In order to circumvent the current healthcare industrial complex, Rena Anakwe offers marginalized communities opportunities for self-care in a world that too often pushes them aside, especially regarding mental health. Primarily, Anakwe works with sound, visuals, and scent, staging interventions in the form of “performance art rituals”, “sound and scent baths” and "audio visual collages" for: relaxation, reconnecting to nature and checking-in with oneself. Anakwe’s work focuses on creating alternatives to the existing system of clinical mental health care, by creating diasporic healing practices and tools, staged in places in which we gather for arts/entertainment and in the privacy of our own personal spaces.
🌙
Tune in tonight at 7pm on our IG LIVE as Rena Anakwe offers up a moment of care.

Meet the Resident, Rj Eve Mertus .rj
❤️🖤💚
Painter, photographer, and culinary artist Rj Eve Mertus came to The People's Space following its transformation into a mutual aid site, FREE CRIB 4 BLACK LIVES. Mertus, whose goal for long-term housing includes space to simply create, invite people, and show work, recalls, "The People’s Space gave me room to finally work and ... show the imagery of what I know.”
❤️🖤💚
Following a brain injury, Mertus describes, "I lost a lot of cognitive skills… It was a rough patch in my life, and I’m trying to display that in my art, to give a sequence of how my life came to be. I’m putting my whole life on canvas. As a young Black gentleman showing memories as well as my outlook on life, I want to give others an outlet to not be scared of what people think.”
❤️🖤💚
Donate to the Deeds for Airs fundraiser which will secure long term housing for Rj and 4 other housing insecure artists.
❤️🖤💚

❤️🖤💚
Tune into Performance Space’s IG Live at noon on Sep 30 as Rj makes his BBQ sauce (which is now on sale) and discusses his paintings.

Meet the AIRs, Angel Robertson
🖤
With considerable experience in community work—having founded a program (LARA — Los Angeles Run(a)way Angels) helping houseless trans folks in Los Angeles move out of tents—Angel Robertson has been a vocal advocate for the necessity of housing for her, the other AIRs, and in turn other artists with similar experiences.
🖤
She says, "To make sure we’re okay is the first step for collective members—but then we all want to figure out who else needs the most help. This is a rare opportunity for independent artists. The overall goal is to actually give back with a house for artists and gear them towards a transitional future. I can’t honestly say we can fix anything but we can try to make it better for them by providing a place for developing themselves, knowing people in the collective have walked in their shoes already."
🖤
We’re almost at 20k but we still need your help to make it to our goal of 60k before Oct 15.
🖤
Please donate to the Deeds For AIRs campaign which will provide long term housing for black and trans housing insecure artists. Click the link in bio
🖤
The donation will not go to Performance Space;
100% of the proceeds will go directly to the AIRs.

❤️🖤💚Meet Danyele Brown, one of the AIRs❤️🖤💚
❤️🖤💚
Danyele Brown is a performance and product design artist who seeks to further develop a trans-utilitarian practice by merging her artistic backgrounds to build a world of intentionality for trans women’s bodies and experiences.
❤️🖤💚
Brown says, “Living, for us, has to be understood as the work itself—in a way that does not exist for artists with resources and a place to stay… We need space for us to do what we need to do and to be the voices and agents of our own experiences. I want to help myself and my friends in a way that de-invisibilizes the work we’re doing all the time and the struggle we’re constantly engaged in.”

Help us provide housing for Black and trans, housing-insecure artists!
❤️🖤💚
During the month of June, in the midst of the BLM protests in New York, Angel, Danyele, Donte, Rj, and Stev – the Artists in Residents (AIRs)—were invited by People’s Space — a group of artists from our “02020” initiative—to work with Performance Space New York. What started as a project to offer refuge for protesters quickly shifted to a mutual aid space for those facing houselessness. After securing temporary housing for the AIRs, it soon became apparent that the five artists needed a more permanent solution.
❤️🖤💚
People’s Space and Performance Space are now helping the AIRs raise funds to collectively purchase a home outside of NYC, and to provide seed funding for their artistic careers. With your support, the AIRs will be able to secure both long-term housing for themselves and eventually other houseless, Black and trans artists.
❤️🖤💚
Help us raise $60,000 by October 15 to lift up impacted communities and most of all, help keep them safe, sustained, and supported!
❤️🖤💚
The donation will not go to Performance Space;
100% of the proceeds will go directly to the AIRs.

The wounded heart logo for Performance Space New York arose from Sarah Ortmeyer's visit with Milton Glaser at his studio in Manhattan. He opened up her black heart painting on paper with a scissor cut. Glaser invented the iconic I ❤ NY logotype in 1976 in the back of a taxi. It was drawn with crayon on scrap paper, the original drawing is held in the collection of MoMA.

We’re excited to let you all know about our plans for 2020!
🖤
Performance Space is reconstructing its mission statement in 2020. 🖤
🖤
Noting 40 years of existence, we are taking the opportunity to assess our organization in order to build deeper relationships with all of our constituencies.🖤
🖤
For the year of 2020 a group of NYC based artists and collectives have been given the mandate to run the organization together with our staff, board, and leadership. The artists have received keys to the spaces, have moved into our business offices, and will move into our theaters next month. They have full transparency into the organization’s inner workings and full artistic control of our programming including oversight of the website. Our total annual production budget is at the artists’ full disposal to pay themselves a wage and develop their programmatic platforms. The only requirements of their tenure is that the spaces must be utilized.
🖤
Shifting our model is shifting our future: toward new institutional structures, new coalitions, new partnerships, new priorities. We know artistic practice is changing, that the world is changing, and that we need to be ready to adjust. We are betting on an artist-recalibrated institutional mission as a catalyst for futurist art practice. 🖤
🖤
Our stratified economic and political climate generates an urgency to open boundaries and widen access. With the artists and staff working together within the belly of the beast, we hope to devise future modeling for more lateral working partnerships and reform the mission statement to reflect this changing world.The entire Performance Space staff has been and will continue working in close collaboration with the artists during 2020 and beyond.🖤
🖤

We’re so happy🖤to finally reveal our major partnership with the Keith Haring Foundation and 🖤the naming of our main space as The Keith Haring Theatre. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
A key part of our mission—combining disciplines 🖤and communities—is very 🖤much in the spirit of the way Keith Haring viewed the world. 🖤Haring’s work, his 🖤synthesis of different forms of 🖤expression into one vocabulary, also really encapsulated the energy of the East Village. 🖤🖤
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
In addition to naming the theatre, 🖤the grant will also🖤 fund an annual, free-to-the-public Keith Haring Lecture Series, as well as the Keith Haring Curatorial Fellowship. 🖤

Thank you The New York Times ! 🖤🖤🖤 #Repost 🖤🖤🖤 #SpeakingInDance | "Within this is 9 aboriginal footworks from Australia,” said the choreographer @mariaa_randall of “Footwork/Technique” which she performs at Performance Space New York on January 10. Part of KIN, a series curated by @emilyjohnsoncatalyst under the umbrella of First Nations Dialogues, this intimate look at aboriginal footwork is a form of land acknowledgment, paying tribute to the native inhabitants of a place. There’s a technical side, too; Mariaa, who belongs to the Bundjalung and Yaegl people of the Far North Coast of New South Wales, has had some strict teachers over the years. “It’s always ‘Get lower, get lower,’” she told the The New York Times writer @giadk. “Then I saw my tutor dance, and it was like she just hovered.
