About the Curator
Al Paldrok, alias Anonymous Boh of the international Non Grata Group, will be the second Guest Curator for the fall performance program at Grace Exhibition Space in Brooklyn.
Estonian Anonymous Boh (Al Paldrok) has been active from 1992 on a frameless territory where an art object has seized to exist as a physical piece. The space has many dimensions upon which the activity has been built. Curating the performance group Non Grata actually means creating a certain kind of school, which can be characterized by features as structured chaos, performances in arbitrary environments and interiors.
By obtaining its reputation as an alternative, Boh, has swooped onto the global art landscape without looking back. Performances, art tours organized in tens of cities across Europe, Asia and America have turned the notoriously alternative Non Graters into a creative collective who are much better known elsewhere than in Estonia. Their experience is not a subject much talked about, although artistic activity transcending boundaries of art and countries is today’s artist’s most desirable self-realization.
Anonymous Boh has been active in many capacities: as a member of the performance group Non Grata; as Founder and Director of the Academia Non Grata in Parnu, Estonia; as Founder, Organizer and Curator of the International Diverse Universe Performance Art Festival which started in Tallinn, Estonia and is now a touring nomadic festival throughout Europe. He also participates throughout the year with the Non Grata Group in festivals in North and South America. Europe and Asia.
At Grace Exhibition Space, Anonymous Boh’s program collects together Nordic Baltic Performance Art Network and connects it to the World wide Perforamtive Network!
During Anonymous Boh’s residency, he will present a live performance art event every second Friday night in GES and Performance exhibitions in between.
Be ready to meet things you’re never ready for, Wild Visuals, Weird Sounds, Crazy Actions, Unexpected Results, Political Statements, and Even More! Squatting personal and public space - physically, virtually, mentally.
