The New York performance artist Laurie Anderson was supposed to teach at the Folkwang University. When questions arise about her signing an appeal critical of Israel, she refuses.
Two weeks ago, Essen Folkwang University was able to announce good news. The Pina Bausch Professorship, established a year ago, would be awarded this summer semester to the performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson. Marina Abramović attended the first round last year and her project attracted 10,000 visitors.
