Artist: Chris Burden | Title: Through the Night Softly After seeing the performance pieces this past Sunday at the Ever After exhibition, I started thinking about how performance art has changed over the years.

More criticism, less support… In the past couple of years, I’ve found myself working with some really extraordinary writers, thinkers, and artists.
