Following the first edition Hybrid Body – Poetic Body that took place in December 2012 at Palazzo Bembo, the II VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK took place at Palazzo Mora in Venice, December 13-20, 2014 under the focus Ritual Body - Political Body. The live art exhibition project dedicated to contemporary performance art showcased in its second edition works of over 50 international performance artists from around the globe, some of which presented in cooperation with cultural institutions and foundations. Pioneers of this art discipline exhibited alongside established and emerging artists, reflecting influences and current tendencies in the field. The project consisted of a vibrant program of live performances, installations, photographic and video documentation, conferences, daily round tables talks, a Study Room, a Movie Room and meetings with the participating artists, researchers and curators.

The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK 2014 is the live art exhibition project conceived, initiated and curated by artist duo VestAndPage and realised in collaboration with Studio Contemporaneo, Venice Open Gates, We Exhibit, Live Arts Cultures and European Cultural Centre | GAA Foundation.
