PERFORMA 07 kicks off this Saturday, 27 October with a free performance of Francesco Vezzoli’s Right You Are (If You Think You Are) at The Guggenheim.

This is the second PERFORMA biennial in New York. The four week program includes performances, exhibitions, film, screenings, lectures and symposia, as well as PERFORMA TV and PERFORMA Radio at over 30 cultural institutions.

Blending art with necessity, Turkish artist Serkan Özkaya’s culinary performance piece “Bring me the head of…” will allow patrons at Freemans restaurant to order the “head” of a childhood icon, to be seasoned, cooked and served up for dinner. Freemans chef, Jean Adamson selects the ingredients for each head and sells them on the menu as consumable artwork.

See the PERFORMA 07 schedule for a full list of artists and performances.
