Performance Art

Fabian has been a curator of public installations and performance art for more than a decade.

In 2008, as founder of Meat Market Gallery, Fabian made his debut at Performance Week D.C. with seventeen artists engaging in site-specific performances and art installations.

In 2013, in partnership with Samuel Draxler, he conceived the New York Performance Artists Collective (NYPAC), an organization dedicated to advancing the production, accessibility, and scholarship of performance and intermedia art.

Today his passion for curation harnesses the performance arts as a catalyst for building community.
