PRAYER FOR PERFORMANCE ART // QUANTUM CRITIC CATALOGUE // MYMÄLÄ 2 HELSINKI 2024

“Prayer for Performance Art” a performance by Josef Ka, which took place on October 29, 2023, as part of the annual international program “Quantum Critic,” curated by the Myymälä2 Gallery in Helsinki. This performance marked the beginning of a series dedicated to exploring the state of contemporary performance art. Performance art, from its inception, has been one of the most open-minded and bold mediums, yet often remains underpaid and undervalued. Through the creation of a unique ritual PRAYER FOR PERFORMANCE ART, the performance involved the artist’s body representing the essence of performance art itself, resulting in a site-specific interactive experience.
