Coco Fusco in group show: Radical Presence: Black Performance in Contemporary Art at Grey Art Gallery, NY

September 10–December 7, 2013

Coco Fusco in group show: Radical Presence: Black Performance in Contemporary Art at Grey Art Gallery, NY.  -Radical Presence: Black Performance in Contemporary Art is the first exhibition to survey over fifty years of performance art by visual artists of African descent from the United States and the Caribbean. Black performance has generally been associated with music, theater, dance, and popular culture. While the artists in Radical Presence draw on these disciplines, here their work is considered in relation to the visual arts. The show begins with examples dating from Fluxus—a loose international network of artists from the 1960s and ’70s—and Conceptual art of the same period, and continues up to the present day.
