Storefront for Architecture Creates Anniversary Pavilion

The Storefront for Art and Architecture celebrates it’s 25 year anniversary over the next few weeks with a series of 26 evening events called Performance Z-A. The program mirrors the Storefront’s first public event held back in September of 1982 called Performance A-Z. The event became a manifesto for the gallery’s future programming: as founder Kyong Park wrote in his introduction:

“Storefront supports the idea that art and design have the potential and responsibility to affect public policies which influence the quality of life and the future of all cities.”

Performance Z-A will be an inclusive event involving not only performance artists but also representatives of all the disciplines that have participated in Storefront’s program in the past decades: architects, artists, writers, researchers, filmmakers, photographers, musicians and more.

The event is hosted at Petrosino Park, adjacent to Storefront, in a specially built pavilion designed by Korean architect Minsuk Cho. The pavilion is a large dome clad in rings of plastic tubing.

A complete list of the program and performers is available here. Each performance begins nightly at 7pm.

The Storefront for Art and Architecture is located at 97 Kenmare Street in New York City.
