TEHRAN, (IRANART)- The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art (TMCA) plans to organize an international festival for interdisciplinary art.

The event titled “The International Festival of Radical Performance” will be held in late spring and early summer, the TMCA New Media Department announced on Tuesday 

The festival will center on performance art, video performance, alternative performance art and several other fields.

The director of the department, Amir Raad, said that the focus on works of interdisciplinary art is remarkably dispersed in Iran.

The festival is expected to help the different views be centralized on these fields, he added.

It will also provide an opportunity for art and cultural interaction in the interdisciplinary art field, he mentioned.

Artists should register online on www.radicalp.ir and www.radicalperformance.ir from March 17 to April 16.

Italian artist Enrico Tomaselli, who is the art director of the Magmart festival, is also among the members of the juries for various sections of the festival.

Raad, Nasim Ahmadpur, Azadeh Ganjeh, Elyas Aminian, Saeid Behnam, Asghar Dashti, Mehdi Sadr, Reza Ghayur and Ali Firuzjang are other members of the juries. 

The best work in each category will be awarded a Golden Radical.
