1. EVENT: FADO presents: Amanda Heng, Kai Lam, Jason Lim, Lee Wen (Toronto) Date: Friday October 1; Source: FADO
FADO Performance Art Centre presents: Survey From Singapore Performances from Amanda Heng, Kai Lam, Jason Lim, Lee Wen
Friday October 1, 2010 7:30pm PWYC / $10
Toronto Free Gallery 1277 Bloor Street West, Toronto
FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to present an evening of performance from Singapore’s most influential contemporary performance artists. From participatory to material based – the work these four artists make traverses a range of approaches, often incorporating social and political commentary. Often audience participatory in nature, Amanda Heng’s work mixes eastern and western values, traditions and gender roles. Regarded as a maverick in the ceramics field, Jason Lim’s performances often play on the edge of a risky and precarious situation, teasing audiences with the use of material and space. Kai Lam’s performance works are created as a creative response to urban pluralistic society. And finally, Lee Wen’s performances and installations expose and question the ideologies and value systems of individuals, as well as social structures.

6. NOTICE: Rebecca Belmore is being sued by Pari Nadimi Gallery Date: now; Source: everybody
This battle began in November 2006. Rebecca Belmore, a prominent Canadian contemporary artist, was unsatisfied with the services of Pari Nadimi Gallery, which had failed to notify Belmore of a sale made in October 2004, and failed to pay Belmore her share. She notified the gallery that she wished to dissolve the relationship. In response, gallery owner Pari Nadimi both refused to return Belmore’s unsold artwork and commenced action in 2007, alleging that her gallery had lost “potential” profits on the future sale of Belmore’s art, and other spurious claims. Belmore made a Chambers application on October 30, 2008 for the return of artwork, documentation, and archival material, and an Order was consented to in those terms by Nadimi’s lawyer at the time. At that point, Belmore was advised that in December 2004 Nadimi had sold a second artwork by her without giving her notice, or paying the artist her share. Nadimi filed an amended statement of claim in early July 2010, making further unsubstantiated claims dreamed up by her new, “pro bono” counsel.
The recent claim by Nadimi is for damages resulting from breach of contract, recovery of marketing costs and other expenses, recovery of revenues from “potential” sales, punitive damages for Belmore’s “egregiously high-handed behaviour” and for “wrongful interference with the economic relations of the plaintiff.” The claim against breach of contract is specified as $750,000. The other claims are unspecified. Pari Nadimi contends that Belmore did not have the right to end their relationship until the gallery had recovered all of its expenses and realized all of its “potential” profits from selling Belmore’s inventory of work. Pari Nadimi claims that Belmore interfered with “potential” sales that were in progress at the time of the termination.
In her defence, Belmore states that no part of her agreement with Pari Nadimi Gallery required Nadimi’s permission to terminate the relationship, nor did it include any provisions to guarantee the gallery any specific profit. Marketing costs have always been the sole risk and responsibility of any commercial gallery, and are offset by high commission rates (50% of sales). Furthermore, there was never any expectation or requirement that all or any specific portion of Belmore’s inventory had to be sold prior to either party ending the relationship. Despite this, Belmore did allow Pari Nadimi Gallery to complete two pending sales after November 2006. Other “potential” sales cited by Nadimi were far from any realistic expectation of completion.
Though Belmore is confident that the case brought by Pari Nadimi is unfounded and unreasonable, it will still cost an enormous amount to defend herself in court. There is much at stake for Belmore. Should she lose, this lawsuit will likely bankrupt her and severely jeapordize Belmore’s career as an artist. Should she win, she may not be much better off: she will still face substantial and potentially crippling legal bills. This website was created to help Belmore raise funds needed to retain a lawyer, pay court costs, and cover the many other expenses related to the upcoming trial.

7. CALL FOR PROPORSALS: PSi #17 Camillo 2.0 Deadline date: October 1, 2010; Source: Laura Cull
Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience Performance Studies international #17 25-29 May 2011, Utrecht, the Netherlands
Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience combines science, scholarly pursuit and art in a five-day program consisting of lectures, presentations of current research (both theoretical and practical), performances, debates, and workshops. In addition, hybrid program components, or ‘shifts’, introduced by participants or inititiated by the organisers will pave the way to unconventional presentation situations. This PSi conference is an initiative of the Theatre Studies department at Utrecht University and Utrecht’s annual Theatre Festival aan de Werf. The conference will be organized in collaboration with the Utrecht School for the Arts (HKU).
Camillo’s Theatre of Memory is a 16th-century invention meant to allow the spectator access to all existing knowledge via a wooden theatre-shaped construction. Once world-renowned, Camillo’s theatre was forgotten after the death of its inventor, only to make an impressive comeback in the second half of the 20th century as a foreshadowing of both computers and the World Wide Web. Today, technological developments allow more people access to more information than ever before. These technologies alter what and how much can be stored; they also transform how memory is shaped, how what is stored is experienced, how memories become entangled in the here-and-now, and, finally, even the processes of thinking and imagination. Camillo 2.0: Technology, Memory, Experience approaches this co-evolution from the vantage point of performance as a triad of artistic practice, embodiment of culturally specific symbolic systems, and functional technology. Within this overarching notion the following focal points are distinguished:
Performing memory: The performing arts haves a long history as a memory machine while also functioning as a means for questioning the various processes of individual or collective remembering. What can performance, in both theory and practice, teach us about the relationship between technology, memory, and experience? How do the performing arts give space to intermedial explorations of the possibilities, implications, and consequences of how divergent technologies mediate the way we remember and experience?
Save As: Camillo’s invention took place as developing printing technology allowed for storage of knowledge and information to move outside the brain. Today the ‘performative turn’ and the developments of Web 2.0 make the restrictions of the archive as memory machine tangible and pay homage to the processual, embodied and (inter)active nature of memory. How do performance and notations such as repertoire and performative remains provide a perspective into the possibilities and restrictions of the archive as memory machine? What can we learn, at this point in time, from re-enactment both as performative practice and as a mode of thinking?
Ghosts: Technologies of memory facilitate new psychic entities and objects of belief that, under appropriate circumstances, emerge as self-enunciating entities. Theatre is haunted by such ghosts, but they populate other media as well. How might theatre and performance illuminate how these medial ‘ghosts’ act as agents of memory and experience, both produced by and emerging from media technology?
No Match Found: Contemporary technological developments that allow for endlessly expanding memory storage conceal that memory machines are always simultaneously technologies of forgetting. This forgetting can be traumatic, and can also be part of (conscious or unconscious) strategies of exclusion. It can be an active choice, an act of resistance, or a strategy for survival. How does performance mediate processes of forgetting? How does it focus its attention on that which is not or cannot be remembered (trauma and exclusion); to blind spots, or black holes; to what is lost in translation?
Memory Lab: Presently, science and art (re)connect in exploring the possibilities that new technologies provide in storing and transferring knowledge. Makers, in collaboration with scholars, develop new technological means of archiving and re-experiencing divergent forms of live art. New insights concern not only archival practices but also reflect upon how technology mediates how knowledge and experience are transferred, how we think, and what is considered knowledge. What are the possibilities for and the potential of a renewed collaboration?
A more extensive description of conference themes and topics can be found at http://www.psi17.org
The organizing committee of PSi #17 invites proposals for individual papers (20 minute presentations), panels (consisting of 3-4 paper presentations) and ‘shifts’.
Papers: Proposals for individual papers should include a 350-word abstract, title, and a 150-word bio of the presenter. Proposals for papers are due October 1, 2010.
Panels: Panel proposals and proposals for other discursive formats (roundtable discussions, position papers, etc.) should include a 350-word abstract describing the rationale of the panel, 350-word abstracts and titles of the individual papers (if applicable), and the names and 150-words bios of participants. Proposals for panels are due October 1, 2010.
Shifts Continuing the explorations of PSi #15 and #16, we invite proposals for ‘shifts’ i.e., alternative presentational models that push the boundaries of the conference presentation. Shifts take the notion of performance in the broad sense (aesthetic, cultural, durational, etc.) as their organizing principle. They can accommodate a wide range of formats: various kinds of performative presentations, round-table discussions on performances presented, lecture performances, workshops, interactive events, seminars, etc. They are non-conventional investigations into the themes of the conference and are designed to accomplish a higher level of interaction between the conference participants and especially between artistic and theoretical work. Proposals for shifts should include a 350-word description of the proposed events and 150-word bios of the organizers of the proposed shift as well as a clear description of the (technical) facilities required. Proposals for shifts are due October 1, 2010.
Submissions All proposals should be submitted online by filling out the submission form at: http://www.psi17.org by October 1, 2010. All proposals will be evaluated by the Organizing Committee of PSi # 17 by December 15, 2010. Questions can be directed to conference manager Laura Karreman (L.L.Karreman@uu.nl).

STUDIES IN MEMORY | JUANITA BAY PARK (Kirkland, WA) Artists experimenting in movement, performance, process, dance, text, sound, voice, music, visual arts and other media wanted for Studies in Memory, a half-day, outdoor, live art event, 1PM–6PM, on Saturday 23 October in Juanita Bay Park (Kirkland, WA). Select from 15-minute to 5-hour time slots. Engage in a stationary or moving study anywhere in the 110-acre park. Studies overlap and continue for the length of the event. STUDIES IN EVERYTHING is supported in part by 4Culture.
APPLY: Send an informal e-mail to mimiallin@gmail.com with the following six points your: (1) name, (2) tel # & e-mail (3) link to your website if you have one, (4) very brief work history (<100 words), (5) preference for study length: 15-min, 30-min, 1-hour, 2-hour or 5-hours, and (6) one sentence loosely expressing your medium or idea. DEADLINE: 5 OCTOBER 2010.
STUDIES IN EVERYTHING: Studies in Memory is 4th in a quarterly series called STUDIES IN EVERYTHING, preceded by Studies in White (January), Studies in Monk, Mompou and Melancholy (April) and Studies in Forgiveness (July). The goal of STUDIES IN EVERYTHING is to form a temporary community and to have that community study, in a collectively and public way, a topic, mood, color, place or idea. Studies aren’t about finished, choreographed work, they are about the artist’s process. We do not spend a great deal of time preparing for or reporting on studies, but spend time partaking in studies and thus evolve as artists. 10-20 artists participate in each study. Funding helps organize, announce video-document the event. Visit the Facebook Group STUDIES IN EVERYTHING to view past studies.
WHY MEMORY? Memory is the ability to store, retain and recall information and experiences. They say one brain cell is capable of holding a memory. We know that sleep can improve and stress can impair our ability to remember. Our collective set of memories make us who we are. We remember in order to know ourselves.

They should engage with a situation, site in the landscape along the river Limmat and the neighboring areas of the city. Performances can be visual, acoustic, moving, installative, participatory et cetera. Conceived as live actions the performances should also encourage and persuade the audience / passers by to think and to act. Stromereien Peformance Festival Zurich offers current trends in situational* performance art a unique platform in Zurich. (*situational = pertaining or referring to a specific situation)
Stromereien 11 will take place from the 3rd to the 12th of August 2011 and will explore the River Limmat as an artery and a corridor through the city. The Limmat not only traverses and dissects different parts of the city – social, cultural, architectural, economical, historical and subjective realities of Zurich are formed and opened by the river.
The artists can choose their place / space / situation from the areas along the River Limmat or the adjacent districts. The submitted projects should be characterised by an open or restrained passion for exploring the city environment and the river. The performers should function as temporary bridge builders, using their artistic practice to expand the perception of the city’s realities, and should encourage and persuade the audience / passers by to think and to act.
A project for Stromereien 11 can be visual, acoustic, movement-based, an installation, conception, participative etc. It must be a live event. The technical time and effort should be kept at a minimum, allowing the emphasis of presence and action.
ELIGIBILITY / REQUIREMENTS A performance may last no longer than 30 minutes. This does not include installations or participative works that rely on a different form of presentation.
A project proposal comprises: -completed application form (on website) -project description (max. 2 A4-pages) -Short CVs for all participating artists (max. A4-page per artist) -documentation of previous relevant work (Text, Videos, Images etc.)
Project proposals will not be returned. All applicants will be notified of the decision by the middle of December 2010. Application Deadline: Friday 19th November 2010
