Crossing
the Line is a platform for transformation. A
festival of new work that enables all of us to re-imagine
the way we exist in the world, the way we look at the
world, and the way we sense and experience the world. Crossing
the Line works with artists who, perhaps, have their
origins in more traditional or specific disciplinary
practices like dance, music, film, visual arts, and cuisine;
but who, by re-inventing their relationships to those
practices, are completely transforming the practices
themselves.
Conceived to focus on vibrant new works
by a diverse range of artists working in France and New York, Crossing
the Line is initiated and produced by FIAF in
partnership with leading New York cultural
institutions.
Whether by performing shopping, watching
sounds, composing films, or reading movements, we invite
audiences from all walks of life to join in exploring, sensing,
and tasting a unique collection of outstanding new works
and experiences—all while discovering new revelations with
each of these truly extraordinary artists.
