Compendio
In our Compendio series we invite performance artists to present their work to-date in a condensed and performative mode. In this way, we look at an artistic practice as an archive of gestures and movements over time that continues to evolve and inflect current projects. Artists can bring in reference materials or other elements that help in contextualizing their process.
Compendio typically unfolds over the course of two or three days.
