Art stations fundation - by Grażyna Kulczyk

In Action is primary, the viewer is encouraged to join the artist in destabilising the spectator-performer relationship. This performance will never have its premiere because there will never be a final product. Its strength, resulting from the continuous negotiation of its own identity, lies in its ability to transform, in which the only constant is an endless attention shift. The work is an elaboration of the movement improvisation practice Action is Primary by Philadelphian artist Meg Foley.
