In late September 2007, Storefront will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a new edition of its first event in September 1982. Entitled Performance Z-A, this 26-day celebration will be hosted in Petrosino Park, New York, adjacent to Storefront, in a specially built pavilion designed by Korean architect Minsuk Cho.

Organized by the three directors who have led Storefront over the past 25 years (Kyong Park, Sarah Herda and Joseph Grima), Performance Z-A will be an inclusive event involving not only performance artists but also representatives of all the disciplines that have participated in Storefront's program in the past decades: architects, artists, writers, researchers, filmmakers, photographers, musicians and more. For 26 days, from September 21 to October 16, 2007, the protagonists of Storefront's past, present and future will host 26 evening events including performances, concerts, open discussions, film screenings and interviews. Participants will include:

Stalker Lab

and many more. A detailed program of the final sequence of events will be published shortly on Storefront's website at www.storefrontnews.org . Performance Z-A will be part of a city-wide celebration of the 40th anniversary of art programming in New York City's parks, during which public parks around the city will host installations by a wide range of artists, both emergent and well-known.
