THE METAL BALL is inspired by the Bauhaus’ 1929 Metallic Festival, when the famous school was decorated entirely in metallic colors and substances and guests reveled in an exuberant festival of music, light, action. Following the enormous success of Performa’s 2006 White on White Party, THE METAL BALL will once again feature an exciting line-up of art and musical performances presented on multiple stages throughout the evening.
Guests will be asked to dress for the occasion in fabulous metallic clothing and accessories — White Gold! Silver! Bronze! — or to be brought up to dress code by a team of wardrobe specialists upon their arrival at the party. VIPs will be treated to a wonderful dinner and special performances during the early part of the evening, to be followed by more performances, DJs, and dancing through the night.
THE METAL BALL will benefit Performa’s cutting-edge year-round programming, which is dedicated to the research, development, and presentation of visual artists from around the world, as well as our upcoming city-wide performance and contemporary art biennial, Performa 09 (taking place from November 1-22, 2009).
