(Pas si) Fragile! the Next Performance Art Generation is a biennial springboard
for emerging artists working in performance art: Its formula modifies with each
new iteration. 2024’s edition will unfold at Studio Thor, which has been running
the project ever since 2020, at Les Halles de Schaerbeek and at La Balsamine.
As with previous iterations, (Pas si) Fragile! will feature a host of young
artists who have recently graduated from Wallonia-Brussels’ visual arts schools.
These institutions devote part of their curriculum to performance art,
responding to the new dynamic generated by these practices within the
professional artistic field.
This year its scope will differ somewhat, however, for this endeavour will be
expanded to include the presentation of work by some fifteen young artists from
right across Europe: Finland, Greece, Ireland, Poland and Slovenia.
In total, some thirty emerging artists will animate this intensive three-day
programme, at the intersection of local practice here in Belgium and two
projects featuring an international dimension, namely Performing Identity and
Time For Live Art.

(Pas si) Fragile!, the Next Performance Art Generation est un tremplin biennal
(24 > 26.04) , mettant en lumière de jeunes artistes impliqué·es dans l’art de
la performance, avec une formule spécifique à chaque édition. La version 2024 se
déroulera au Studio Thor, porteur du projet depuis 2020, aux Halles de
Schaerbeek et à la Balsamine.
On y découvrira de jeunes artistes issu·es des écoles d’arts visuels de
Wallonie-Bruxelles (La Cambre, erg, ISAC, Le 75, Beaux-Arts de Liège, Arts2,
Académie de Tournai). Ces écoles consacrent en effet une partie de leur cursus à
l’art performance, répondant ainsi à la dynamique nouvelle de ces pratiques dans
le champ artistique professionnel.
En 2024, l’opération s’étendra à la présentation de travaux de jeunes artistes
venu·es d’Europe : Finlande, Grèce, Irlande, Pologne et Slovénie. Au total, une
trentaine de jeunes artistes composeront ce programme intensif de 3 jours, au
croisement des pratiques d’ici et de 2 projets internationaux : « Performing
Identity » et « Time For Live Art ».
