Three weeks into Performa 11, what’s the state of play? Which of the performances stood out and which were rather underwhelming?
In his Sacred Selections, Matt Stokes performs pipe organ recitals based on transcripts of underground music. For the performance night at the Nieuwe Kerk in Haarlem, June 9th, Happy Hardcore was his particular music style of focus. The video shows the organ translation of Heart Of Gold (1996), originally from the British record producers Force and Styles.

Witness, narrator, chronicler, participant and agent. In I, the Undersigned, Rabih Mroué's first solo-exhibition as a visual artist, he questions the role of the artist in the charged context of post-war Lebanon, focusing on the political and historical amnesia.
He is a rising star that the exhibition circuit can no longer do without. Constant Dullaart, fresh from the Rijksakademie, can always be found showing his work somewhere. He is a critic of the medium, highly active on the Internet, and is an equally talented critic of himself and of his vocation of contemporary visual artist.
