DO DISTURB has previously had the honour of organizing the first presentations in France of work by artists such as Anne Imhof and Gerard&Kelly, with each edition of the festival creating links with cultural actors in France and abroad. This year, Palais de Tokyo continues to pursue its policy of extending invitations to prestigious institutions. The festival’s first year saw partnerships with MoMA PS1, the Tate Modern and Matadero Madrid, the second edition welcomed research departments from French and European art and design schools, while last year’s instalment included collaborations with other international festivals such as TBA in Portland and Dias da Dança in Portugal.
