Our scope and emphasis is international.
Art reflects particular communities but is a language spoken by all.
Since 1987, Gallery SoToDo has evolved into a non-profit organization whose
goal is to promote international
cultural exchanges within the context of Performance Art.
Performance Art is defined by the elements of time, space, variability and
zeitgeist.
It is an everyday experience. It is unbound by a beginning or an end. It
happens.
One of the activities of Gallery SoToDo is organizing Congresses for Performance
Art in various locations
around the world.Gallery SoToDo brings together artists who differ in their
distinct
geographical and cultural temperaments, ensuring a constant flux of new
ideas and an ever increasing
range of participating artists who benefit from the development of Gallery
SoToDo.
Performance Art can incorporate one medium or combinations of various media
to transmit its message.
It is the act of making art on site at the moment.

Gallery SoToDo
provides an environment where artists can explore new means
of artistic expression in a noncommercial environment, communicate with
each
other, and pool resources. The benefits of this exchange, whether personal
or artistic, are a highly motivating factor and an existential aspect
of the existence of Gallery SoToDo.
Performance Art is an action which is declared by the artist who does
it and
understood by the observer who watches it. It communicates a message.
If it
is done in an empty space, it will require documentation
to deliver its message. The catalogs, the website and the membership magazines
provide
documention of the activities of Gallery SoToDo.
Performance Art is an act of service to society and to ourselves.
It can and often does take the form of collective action.
With the participation of over 1500 artists over 18 years,
Gallery SoToDo has become a movement in art.
As one of the first and longest lasting of this type of network,
Gallery SoToDo embodies Performance Art.
