]performance s p a c e [ is different to conventional studio space in its approach and set up, as each studio artist has use of a large communal flux space (3,000 sq foot), with the option of a permanent desk space. Space is available on a sliding-scale basis. This means artists are able to 'pay what they can' in order to become part of the community of studio artists and widen our performance network.
About GRACE EXHIBITION SPACE
Grace Exhibition Space, since 2006, is devoted exclusively to Performance Art. We offer an opportunity to experience visceral and challenging performance works by the current generation of international performance artists, whether emerging, mid career or established.
Being a Brooklyn loft, our events are presented on the floor, not on a stage, dissolving the boundary between artist and viewer. This is how performance art is meant to be experienced and our mission is the glorification of performance art.
"Grace Exhibition Space is the sole gallery in this city that shows specifically, in its most intentionally narrow definition, Performance Art." Patricia Milder, The Brooklyn Rail (May, 2011)
"Through such intimate encounters between performance groups and their guests, they could follow in the spirit of Yoko Ono's Chamber Street loft or the Surrealist soirees of Paris." Warren Fry, The Brooklyn Rail (August, 2007)
