4. EVENT: Performer Stammtisch November 2010
Date: November 8, 2010; Source: Dominik Walther
Dear friends etc.
next Performer Stammtisch is coming up. Monday November 8th to be precise. We move to cozy KuLe on Auguststraße, and will present two extraordinary performers: Long time Stammtisch member Dovrat ana Meron and new arrival Sandie Brischler from France.
Dovrat will show Slip into something more comfortable/Land of milk and honey Vol. 3/Get it while you can! Three short performances about and with her breast and its aesthetic and social connotations.
Sandie presents her performance "Body-Writings II". It is part of a series about the human body and the desire for a written process. It is about the body and writing, or the body as writing. The body itself becomes word. The performance explores the abysses of consciousness, and develops as a sign of life in the narrow field between normality and abnormality. It is an exploration of the sign with physical abilities and the power that emerges between the traces of life, inscriptions, the ability to express in words, flat lines, and again and again the everlasting attempt to imprint oneself into the world.
KuLe Theater is on Auguststraße 10, 10117 Berlin. U-Bahn Oranienburger Tor, S-Bahn Oranienburger Straße. Doors open 7.30 p.m., performances start around 8 p.m. Admission is 3 Euro for guests, and free for Stammtsich members.
Coming up next: "All Hail Bizango - performance artists play music" with Stuart Lynch, Otmar Wagner, Das Prinzip (Henrik Vestergaard Friis/Jörn J. Burmester) and Eisenächer/Harder CLAIMS (Joy Harder/Janine Eisenächer), November 20/21 at Dock 11.
Dovrat ana Meron is a performance artist and curator. Born 1972 in Israel she now lives in Berlin. Between 2007 and 2009 she co curated ScalaMata Exhibition Space in Venice, where she organized and coordinated interdisciplinary projects. She graduated in acting, theatre directing and acting teaching in Tel Aviv in 2000, and continues her studies at the spac e strategies (Raum Strategien ) Master program at the Weißensee Art school Berlin. She performs and teaches internationally.
Sandie Brischler works with writing, notation, drawing and performance. Born 1978 in Paris, she studied at the Paris art academy in the studio of Christian Boltanski 1998-2000, followed by literature, art and psychoanalysis at the Sorbonne, Paris 2000-2002. Her thesis was titled: „Writing, illness and photography: an uncanny secrecy". In 2010 she was educated in in „DanceAbility", integrative body expression for people with and without disabilities. Sandie received several stipends and prices for her artistic work.

5. EVENT: Extension Series 6 with Yingmei Duan / Ivan Civic

Extension Series 6 with Yingmei Duan / Ivan Civic
Curated by Andrés Galeano
PERFORMANCES: 11.Nov 19:30h
RESIDENCE: 8 – 14 Nov
PERFORMANCES DOCUMENTATION: 12 – 14 Nov
LECTURE: 14 Nov. 18h. “YINGMEI DUANS SOLO SHOW IN GRIMMUSEUM IN 2015” by YINGMEI DUAN
For the sixth Series of Extension Andrés Galeano invites two very dynamic and productive artists: the Chinese Yingmei Duan and the Bosnian Ivan Civic.
After their last long-durational performance projects: Yingmei Duan working intensively in a children hospice in UK and Ivan Civic’s daily performance Shedding Time at the Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart, the two artists will share a short residence at Grimmuseum and, respectively, exhibit the outcome of their latest artistic researches to the Berlin audience.
At the centre of Yingmei Duan’s performance art is her exploration of human instincts, longings, and dark desires. She examines the processes of society and questions its conventions and behaviours. Born in China in 1969, Yingmei Duan is part of the Chinese avant-garde, and worked as a painter for many years, living in the legendary art district of Beijing’s East Village. In 1995 she participated in the performance “To add one meter to an anonymous mountain”, which is considered to be one of the classics of Chinese modern art. She became a pure performance artist under the influence of Marina Abramovic, with whom she studied at the HBK Braunschweig in Germany from 2000 to 2004. There, she also worked for one year with the film-maker and action artist Christoph Schlingensief. In the last fifteen years Yingmei Duan has made her name in numerous national and international exhibitions, festivals and workshops through her performance art. Yingmei is an inquisitive observer who asks questions of all facets of life in order to continuously learn and develop. She often impulsively and spontaneously develops performances as situational experiments. On the other hand she can also plan her performances with intense attention being paid to the last detail. She loves to interact with the public and likes to work with artists and people from all areas of life. Her artworks are works in progress, and are often stretched over long periods of time. She often performs sleeping in a melancholic dream world, or as someone sick or dead. www.yingmei-art.com
Ivan Civic born 1979 in Sarajevo/Bosnia and Herzegovina. He studied experimental video, film and performance at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste (HBK) in Braunschweig/Germany among others with Marina Abramovic (MA 2005/2006). He has been active for several years in the international art scene and has shown his work at such prestigious art spaces as P.S.1 in New York, NY/USA, the Irish Museum for Modern Art in Dublin/Ireland, MARTa Herford in Herford/Germany, the Galleria Civica in Trento/Italy, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam/Netherlands, and the Biennale in Venice/Italy. Ivan Civic works in the fields of performance, video installation, photography and design and concentrates on the analysis of society and its structures, searching for limits inside conventional unions such as the family nucleus, relationships, cultural and intellectual environments. Through the use of icons, symbols and fetishes instinctively obtained from the domestic circles and from the public scene, Civic expresses mechanisms, dynamics, contradictions and conflicts of relational environments. He received the first prize at Premio Internazionale della Performance in Trento in 2006 and a grant from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for the best international art student of the year at the HBK Braunschweig in 2003. Civic was selected by Dan Graham for the Akademie Schloss Solitude grant and residency for the years 2009/2010 in the field of visual arts. He has just come back to Berlin from Stuttgart where he performed his performance : "Shedding Time" for three consecutive weeks (seven ininterrupted hours a day) at the Württembergischer Kunstverein. www.ivancivic.com

Call for Performance Projects: dreams of rivers - dreams of cities
Stromereien 11 Performance Festival Zurich

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.

9. EVENT: Video and Performance at aluCine Film and Media Arts Festival
Date: November 20, 2010: Source: Alucine
Video and Performance
Presented by aluCine Toronto Latin Film & Media Arts Festival and FADO Performance Art Centre
Saturday November 20, 2010
5:00 PM
Polish Combatant's Hall
206 Beverly Street
Tickets: Pay what you can, suggested donation $4, festival passes available for $40
This program is dedicated to present videos related to performance, like performance documentations, or creating a performance for the camera, or videos where the body of artist is at the center of the work. We want to present video as an important part of other artistic practices, in this case performance art. This helps us demonstrate that contemporary video art is more a hybrid form than a specific discipline.
In Self Geste, The Only Thing You Can Count On Is Your Family, and Air and Spiral the artists perform for the camera. Self Geste, is a video centered around shadows and forms that speaks of gestures in motion. The Only Thing You Can Count On Is Your Family, is a video performance where the artist uses his body as a metaphor for transformation. Air and Spiral is a video where the artist performs as a shadow or a phantom. Occupation, O+ Limit And Territory, The Nightmare of The Human-frog, and Frei Von Jedem Schaden! (Corpo Di Aria Ii) are performances created in public spaces and registered on video as a form of documentation. Occupation, and O+, Limit And Territory, are performance interventions on the streets with a direct political intention. The Human-frog, and Frei Von Jedem Schaden! (Corpo Di Aria Ii) are actions performed in art galleries that relate to each artist’s discourse, in a local history -the first one- and in the art and global market – the second one.

Dynamic Curating in the Age of Anxiety
Oakville Galleries
November 22, 10am-4pm
Organized by Laura Paolini for the Ontario Association of Art Galleries
Can't make it to Banff? Come to Oakville!
Dynamic Curating in the Age of Anxiety offers emerging curators insights into the production of curatorial projects within, without, and around the cultural institution. So, if you can't go to Banff, you can join us in Oakville!
The goals of this workshop in the Blue Soup series is to offer professionals (including emerging professionals and students) insights into how to produce projects, with various relations to institutions (with, without, in opposition, etc) and exploring new innovative ways to be active cultural contributors, especially as previous modes of production (i.e. publishing, writing, etc) are equally at risk in the cultural sector. The seminar goals are to provide insight not only to the challenges of our times, but how these challenges have been addressed in the past.
The three guest speakers are Lisa Daniels (Gallery Lambton, Sarnia,) Christof Migone (Blackwood Gallery, U of T Missisauga) and Maiko Tanaka (via skype, associate curator of The Grand Domestic Revolution (GDR) with Casco, Utrecht)
The workshop takes place at Oakville Galleries, 1306 Lakeshore Road East, in Oakville. There is a one time $40 registration fee, and this fee is for the administration of the event, and other expenses not covered/eligible for funding.
