sunday in the city at Ps2

As part of Belfast City Council’s ‘Sundays in the City’, PS² is open every Sunday until 30 May 2010 between 10am- 4pm (neighbouring galleries- Belfast Exposed and Golden Thread- are also open).
To make a Sunday visit more exciting, PS² invited Bbeyond, to curate a series of performances on four Sundays and to fill these dull and lazy days with one hour long provocative and poetic actions.
Performance - or live art has a strong tradition in Belfast and plays a significant and stimulating part in the contemporary art scene. Although PS² is not a dedicated performance venue, we see the social aspect and the urge of many performance artists to often place their work and actions in an everyday street context as important and an inspiration for PS²'s urban orientated projects.
‘An hour on a Sunday’ offers the chance to get an insight into a vibrant, creative medium and a wide range of performative approaches.

Participating artists: Leo Devlin, Paul King, Anne Quail, Rainer Pagel, Colm Clark, Sinéad Bhreathnach-Cashell, Kristof Gillen, Crissie Cadman.
Opening hours: Every Sunday 10am- 4pm/ performance events see timetable below
