| | Grading comment | I may omit the explanation after all, but if I include one it will be "festival of site-specific performances and installations." Wish I could share the points around but two thirds of this phrase come from Vaughn, so...Thanks to all. |

3 hrs confidence: for info
Explanation:
this give a better explanation of it than there own site:
Action nomade d’interventions artistiques, citoyennes et sociales sur des territoires en transformation : l’Art des Lieux, c’est un événement culturel ancré à Marseille, qui va de quartier en quartier... Outil de découverte, d’appropriation et de participation à l’évolution du territoire par un croisement de regards, le projet de l’Art des lieux souhaite ouvrir un débat entre les multiples représentations des acteurs qui composent la cité : habitants, artistes, élus, techniciens, travailleurs sociaux, architectes, paysagistes... Les artistes investissent les espaces en devenir, là où la ville d’hier se transforme, là où la ville de demain se construit. Dans des espaces ouverts, publics ou privés, ils créent, inventent, mettent en scène leur « lecture » des lieux, travaillent avec les habitants des quartiers proches, et restituent les œuvres pendant trois jours de fête et de discussion

I don't think that there is a short answer!
Street theatre and art trail celebrating Marseilles' architectural heritage?
or
Street theatre and art trail exploring Marseilles' architectural heritage?

12 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 Performance art or Happening
Explanation:
Believe it or not, a happening is an performance art concept! Maybe one of these phrases will work for your explanation.
Performance art
Performance art is art in which the actions of an individual or a group at a particular place and in a particular time constitute the work. It can happen anywhere, at any time, or for any length of time. Performance art can be any situation that involves four basic elements: time, space, the performer's body and a relationship between performer and audience. It is opposed to painting or sculpture, for example, where an object constitutes the work. Of course the lines are often blurred...

Art performance
On définit l'art performance comme une tradition d'art interdisciplinaire, née vers le milieu du XXe siècle, dont les origines se rattachent aux mouvements d'avant-garde (dadaïsme, futurisme, École du Bauhaus, etc.). C'est par essence un art éphémère qui laisse peu d'objets derrière lui. Certains historiens de l'art situent l'origine de la performance dans la pratique des rituels ou rites de passage observés depuis l'origine de l'Homme. D'un point de vue anthropologique, la performance s'est manifestée et définie de différentes manières à travers les cultures et les âges. ». Selon Richard Martel, l'art performance constitue peut-être la forme artistique la plus ancienne de l'humanité. Une chose semble néanmoins claire : le corps, le temps et l'espace constituent généralement les matériaux de base d'une «performance».

Happening
Following the late 1950s, a happening was a performance, event or situation meant to be considered as art. Happenings could take place anywhere, were often multi-disciplinary, often lacked a narrative and frequently sought to involve the audience in some way. Key elements of happenings were planned, but artists would sometimes retain room for improvisation.

Happening
Utilisé pour la première fois par la langue française en 1963, ce substantif est emprunté à l'anglais. Durant la fin des années 1950, un happening était une performance (représentation), un événement ou une situation qui pouvait être considéré comme un art. Une traduction possible en français serait une intervention artistique. Le happening se distingue de de la simple performance par son caractère spontané et le fait qu'il exige la participation active du public.
