Organised by the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, ‘The Museum as Performance’ recognizes the growing significance of performance in contemporary art and further contributes to the history of Serralves as a pioneering cross-disciplinary museum. Encompassing dance, spoken narratives, visual and musical performances, ‘The Museum as Performance’ encourages new directions in the relationship between various practices and the visual arts. 

For its fourth edition Serralves presents twelve new performance works by Portuguese and international artists, most of them national premieres, across the spaces of the Serralves Museum and Villa. The programme includes brand-new commissioned works and works adapted to the spaces of Serralves, in recognition of the potential of the Foundation’s unique context. Through voices, bodies, gestures and narratives, the 2-day programme will propose various ways of undoing disciplinary conventions and normativity.
