It’s Ann Liv Young versus P.S. 1, Round 2.
Ms. Young, a provocative performance artist, was at the center of a controversy in February when the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center abruptly cut the power in the middle of her appearance, plunging an already chaotic scene into darkness.
[Curator Andres] Bedoya said he had never received an explanation from the museum. Nor did Ms. Young, who fell in the darkness, cutting her knee and spilling a bucket of her own urine on herself and several audience members. Yet Ms. Young and others consider her performance a success.
Now she is planning to return to the museum, having been invited by the artist A. L. Steiner to participate in a performance-lecture addressing the February events. That appearance would be held in the temporary studio that Ms. Steiner occupies in the museum as part of the “Greater New York” exhibition. But on Monday a press officer for P.S. 1, April Hunt, said by e-mail that the return visit, scheduled for Sept. 5, was not happening. She would not comment further, and the museum has refused repeated interview requests.
