ACTS is the Museum of Contemporary Art’s international festival and the spearhead in its work with performative art. ACTS takes place in different venues around Roskilde and in the museum, and it changes size and character from year to year. In May 2014, ACTS will be held for the third time and forms a collaboration with the Department for Performance Design at Roskilde University. Ph.D. Sanne Krogh Groth and MA Judith Schwarzbart will curate the festival alongside museum director and curator Sanne Kofod Olsen.

ACTS 2014 will take place around Kulturstrøget in Roskilde which runs parallel to the main shopping street – from the cathedral, which houses the Museum of Contemporary Art and past Roskilde Museum to the monastery and Roskilde Library. In their different capacities, Sanne Krogh Groth will focus on sound art, Judith Schwarzbart on social art in public spaces, while Sanne Kofod Olsen will focus on performance art.

Around 12 international artists will participate. A list of participants will be made public in March 2014.
