The unofficial Summer has arrived and we\u2019re ready for some fresh inspiration from our\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0feeds. We\u2019ve rounded up five performance artists that you should be following on the gram.<\/p>\n

The Bag Lady Manifesta – Eric Lippe – 2016<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You may recognize the work of Taja Lindley<\/a> from our #ArtPowerWomen series or from\u00a0Spring\/Break<\/a> and\u00a0Brooklyn Museum\u2019s Target First Saturdays<\/a>. Lindley’s,\u00a0This Ain\u2019t A Eulogy<\/a>, is a piece in which she was processing Black death. A seething reminder of the ubiquitous ways in which Black life is taken with impunity. Through movement, costuming and installation she\u00a0began drawing parallels between discarded materials and the violent treatment of Black people in the United States. Every black plastic bag represents a Black life. She\u00a0creates ornate environments, costumes and performances as a way of honoring the dead. Informed by her burlesque performance practice, she\u00a0employs beauty as reverence to transform what has been considered disposable into something sacred.<\/p>\n

You might have heard of Anne Imhof because of her piece\u00a0Faust<\/em>\u00a0presented in the German Pavilion during the Venice\u00a0Biennale in 2017 was a massive hit.\u00a0The jury of the 57th International Art Exhibition even awarded the German artist Anne Imhof the Golden Lion prize for best National Pavilion. You can watch some of the performance here<\/a>. While she’s only posted three times to her account, the latest being one from January 10, 2017, but the anticipation of her next post is worth our sacred follow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 @FlucT.tv<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We were first exposed to FlucT<\/a> when it premiered at Artsy Projects Miami. Fluct is the collaborative work of Sigrid Lauren & Monica Mirabile addressing issues in the capital obedience of American culture through choreography and performance.\u00a0Creating original narrative soundscapes linking a manipulated pop music psychosis with violently intimate dance, their composition is a projection driven to expose the psychology of this social paradigm. We love to keep tabs on their instagram to see where they might pop up next.<\/p>\n

German artist Donna Huanca<\/a> stages\u00a0surreal architectural collages activated by live performers.\u00a0She\u00a0uses\u00a0socially coded artifacts of the body such as cosmetics and found clothing\u00a0to create paintings\u00a0and sculptures, which\u00a0become backdrops for\u00a0these\u00a0durational\u00a0performances.\u00a0Painted models, presented as canvases, move glacially through her installations; their\u00a0morphing tableaux\u00a0vivants\u00a0leaving\u00a0behind\u00a0scars and ghostly remnants. Her instagram account is filled with #BTS moments and worth your follow.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t already following Ryan McNamara<\/a> on instagram, stop what you’re doing and do it now. From famous drag queens<\/a>\u00a0to performance announcements, you won’t be disappointed with McNamara’s quirky and inspiring content. Last year, this New York-based\u00a0artist and choreographer presented Battleground<\/em>\u00a0at Works & Process, the acclaimed performing arts series at the Guggenheim<\/a> set\u00a0to John Zorn\u2019s\u00a0Commedia dell\u2019arte<\/em>.<\/p>\n
