The Days of Performance Art in Lviv & the School of Performance and the MediaDepo Festivals of Contemporary Art( 28 August - 4 September, 2011, Lviv)In 2010 the Institute of Contemporary Art, an organiser of the TYZHDEN/Week of Contemporary Art , one of the largest annual contemporary art festivals in Ukraine came to the conclusion to change the Festival’s format at the Biennale. The strongest reason of those changes is the large number of author’s projects to be presented at the Tyzhden’ and the period of one year is not enough to process and to present all of them at a high level. However, the Days of Performance Art in Lviv and the MediaDepo (two integral parts of the Tyzhden’) are going to be held annually. Thus, from 28 August to 4 September the Days of Performance Art in Lviv & the School of Performance and the MediaDepo will be held for the fourth time. Days of Performance Art in Lviv & the School of Performance - the annual festival involving meetings with artists, lectures, video screenings and, in fact, performances themselves presented by prominent and well-known masters as well as by young and interesting generation of performers. For the period of the Festival's duration its curators have invited performers from Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Israel, Austria and Switzerland. As accustomed, after the School "graduation" its participants will have the opportunity to demonstrate their own performances. The School of Performance causes agiotage among students of art institutions of the whole country, as the training at School still remains the only chance to master that kind of art. Last year the School was attended by about 40 "students" from Lviv, Ternopil, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Kyiv.
