2. EVENT: A Space Gallery Presents Unraveling Empire
Dates: February 18 – March 16, 2011; Source: A Space Gallery
Solo Exhibition by Khadija Baker
Curated by Rachel Gorman
Exhibition Runs, February 18 to March 16, 2011
Opening Reception on Friday February 18, 7-9pm
Performance by the Artist on Friday February 18, 7-7:30pm
The performance is presented by A Space Gallery and FADO Performance Art Centre
Khadija Baker’s Toronto première solo exhibition lays bare emotional and embodied landscapes of empire, revealing rituals of memory and loss, and the intimacy of survival and resistance. Taking the evacuation and exile of the Kurds, and their erasure from the land as her point of departure, Baker’s installation Behind Walls weaves together clothing, rope, clay, light, and the voices of the displaced, and invites us to participate in the re-inscription of what has been lost. Baker’s new time-based, interactive work Home exposes the uncertainty of the exiled body as it becomes home to self, and to the future. The work assembles sculpture woven from the artist’s hair, and names etched in ink on ice. Lasting the time it takes for the ice to melt, Baker’s video series Name/Trace become a modality for grieving memory itself, in a dominant cultural landscape where only the deaths of the occupying troops are reported.
Biographies
Khadija Baker is a multidisciplinary artist who combines video, textile, sound, and performance to explore political persecution, displacement and memory. Her intimate sculptural environments breach the divide between artist, art, and public, creating active spaces of participation, exchange, and storytelling. Baker has exhibited in cultural capitals such as Montreal, New York, London, Berlin, Marseille, Beirut and Damascus. Baker was awarded the Millennium Scholarship at Concordia University in 2005 and 2006, and the George Balcany Bursary for Painting and Drawing in 2007. In 2009, Baker received the Vivacité grant for culturally diverse artists from the Conseil des arts et des letters du Québec, and a Vidéographe research and experimentation grant. Born in the Kurdish town of Amoude, Syria, Baker received her BFA and MA from the University of Damascus, before moving to Montréal 2001 and completing a BFA at Concordia University, where she is currently pursuing an MFA in Open Media.
Rachel Gorman is a performance artist working in dance theatre, video, and installation. Since receiving her PhD from the University of Toronto in 2005 with a dissertation on cultural production and class consciousness, Gorman has held a Lectureship at the Women and Gender Studies Institute of the University of Toronto; Research Fellowships at Manchester Metropolitan University and the University at Buffalo (SUNY); and a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship exploring disability politics of Kurdish national liberation struggles. In 2006, Gorman premiered The Ghost, a dance film about Kurdish political prisoners. The Globe and Mail’s Paula Citron called Gorman’s 2002 anti-war production Waking the Living “compelling…a disturbing and riveting reality check” and described her 2004 production Passing Dark as a “melancholy journey… of intense sadness.” Gorman created Transit, a gallery installation on mixed-race identity and political suspicion, in 2007; and combined performance and video to create Pass in 2009 and Fall in 2010.
A Space Gallery’s mandate compasses the investigation, presentation and interpretation of contemporary and experimental art forms. We are committed to programming critical and politically engaged work that is oriented around non-dominant communities and crosses disciplines, cultures, abilities, gender and sexual orientation as well as work in new media and technologies. A Space Gallery gratefully thanks the Toronto Arts Council, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.

Performed by 2Fik and Oreet Ashery
Written by Oreet Ashery (Semitic Score)
Co-presented with FADO Performance Art Centre
Two incredible performances by Montreal's 2Fik
http://www.2fikornot2fik.com
Semitic Score is a multidisciplinary performance that takes its roots from the notion that both Muslims and Jews come from the same Semitic DNA. Created in collaboration with British art star Oreet Ashery and accompanied by avant-garde musician Debashis Sinha.
Next, in Live Photo, 2Fik, working as both photographer and subject, single-handedly recreates de La Tour's famous painting Cheat with the Aces of Clubs <http://www.mezzo-mondo.com/arts/mm/france17/latour/TOG005.html> in front of an audience. Through a dazzling display of technology and performance, 2Fik transforms himself into the multiple characters that make up this Baroque masterpiece and digitally produces a replica of the painting. Pure irreverent and subversive pleasure!

5. EVENT: HOW? as part of Your Next Life by Adriana Disman
Date: February 11, 2011; Source: Adriana Disman
HOW? A durational performance piece by Adriana Disman as part of the exhibition Your Next Life curated by Adam Cowan. HOW? I will die. This is known. The how is what I am curious about.
Adriana Disman is a Toronto-based performance artist who's interests lay in transformation through vulnerability and surrender. This philosophy often manifests in pieces exploring passivity vs. action, interconnectivity vs. disconnection, and belonging vs. isolation. The core of her work is based in emotional sense and has nothing to do with Logic. She defines herself as an artist not by what she does, but by what is done to her. The result of coming out of each performance alive is her only proof of what 'living' is.

6. CALL FOR ARTISTS: Art Ex: Multi-Day Visual Arts Experience
Deadline date: February 14, 2011; Source: Kay Burns
Call for Artists – Art Ex: Multi-Day Visual Arts Experience
Exploits Valley Region, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
About Art Ex:
Art Ex is an annual multi-day celebration of visual art which takes place in the Exploits Valley region of central Newfoundland, July 7-10, 2011. Art Ex provides a unique venue for exhibitions, introductory and advanced workshops, panel discussions, artist talks, interactive art interventions, public artworks and collaborative community based art events. The activities occur concurrently in a number of municipalities within the region. The objective is to offer innovative and diverse experiences for all age groups and skill levels in a number of culturally and geographically diverse locations along the Exploits River watershed. Art Ex takes a thematic approach to each year’s event: this year’s theme is “River as Source”.
Artists are encouraged to consider the following when planning proposals for Art Ex:
-The river as “source” or “wellspring”
-Revitalization, renewal
-Human interaction with the natural environment/each other
-Concepts of memory/time/history
-The river as continuum: a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct
-Fragility/transience vs. Strength/permanence
-Specific historical events pertaining to the river/region
About the Region:
Geographically, the region is defined by a river. Ostensibly dividing the island portion of the province in half, the Exploits River flows from its headwaters near the southwest corner of the island, 246 kilometers northeast to the sea, draining an area of 1,100 square kilometers. The Exploits is one of the largest rivers in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is truly a natural wonder, and is tied closely to the history of this place. It has provided refuge, transportation, power, and sustenance; it has been the lifeblood of the region from prehistory to present-day. The River connects 19 communities from its headwaters at Red Indian Lake to the Bay of Exploits, which opens onto the North Atlantic. The geographic diversity of these locations should be explored and utilized when considering a proposal.
Submission Guidelines:
Art Ex will be accepting submissions for the following activities for 2011:
1. Exhibitions - Art Ex has one main gallery space of approximately 1300 square feet, with 1100 linear feet of wall space (for technical details and floor plan contact Robert Lodge 292-4520). Artists are also actively encouraged to submit exhibition and activity proposals that take advantage of other natural and built environments throughout the region. Specify any special requirements or technical considerations in your detailed proposal. Other projects which can be accommodated include interactive art interventions, public artworks, collaborative community based art events, environmentally sensitive installations, performance art, sculpture, interactive projects or site specific work incorporating any number of disciplines.
2. Dinner & Art talk series (a venue for all manner of art talks and critical discourse)
3. Introductory and advanced art workshops (for arts professionals and/or the public)
4. Professional development opportunities for visual artists
5. Art on the Water - Centered on the riverfront in Grand Falls-Windsor, Art on the Water represents the highlight of the Art Ex activities, and invites artists to explore the cultural, historic, social and environmental legacy of the Exploits River. The event will facilitate the creation of, and provide a venue for, a series of temporary, floating public artworks that will attract visitors to the riverbanks and invite them to interact with the environment through the creations of the participating artists.
The concept behind Art on the Water is: by bringing art to the river’s edge viewers and artists will be asked to contextualize the human (creative) experience within the natural environment. Through these exchanges with their surroundings, artists, residents and visitors will come to a better understanding of complex historical relationships between the unique geography of the Exploits Valley region and its inhabitants, while gaining insight into the way all people interact with the physical environment.
These projects could include (but are not limited to) environmentally sensitive installation, performance art, sculpture, interactive projects, or site-specific work incorporating any number of these disciplines. While anchored floating platforms and designated areas of the shore will provide the exhibition space for the artworks, artists are encouraged to consider the entire river and region as a whole when planning proposals for Art on the Water.
Submission Procedure:
Submissions for Art Ex 2011 must be postmarked no later than February 14, 2011. Submissions are reviewed and evaluated by the Art Ex steering committee. If submitting more than one application, please forward separately. Art Ex does not accept email submissions.
Proposals will be selected based on consideration of the following criteria: artistic merit of the proposed project, thematic appropriateness, feasibility of the proposed project, and the ability of Art Ex to accommodate the project. CARFAC fees will be paid.
Submissions must include the following:
-Detailed Proposal: clearly outline the work you are proposing; provide details about any special requirements (including any equipment needed and travel cost considerations).
-Artist Statement
-Curriculum Vitae
-Images/Support Material: 15-20 JPEG images with name and title; image list detailing medium and size. Video artists may submit a video no longer than 5 minutes.
-Self addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage for return of support materials.

7. CALL FOR STUDIES PAPERS: Emerging Scholars Performance Studies
Deadline date: February 15, 2011; Source: Victoria Stanton
Emerging Scholars performance studies papers sought, deadline Feb. 15
CFP: ATHE Performance Studies Focus Group Emerging Scholars Panel
DEADLINE EXTENDED! New deadline: February 15, 2011
The Performance Studies Focus Group at the Association of Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) conference invites submissions of papers for its Emerging Scholars' Panel. The theme of the conference is 'Performance Remains, Global Presence: Memory, Legacy, and Imagined Futures' and it takes place at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois from August 11-14, 2011.
The PSFG Emerging Scholars' Panel represents an opportunity for researchers to present their work at a major international conference for the first time. Selected Emerging Scholars will be paired with a mentor from the field of Performance Studies who will offer critical feedback on submitted papers in order to help prepare them for presentation at the conference. ATHE PSFG will also provide successful applicants with complimentary registration to the ATHE PSFG Pre-Conference.
Performance Studies locates itself at the boundaries and intersections of scholarly and artistic practice. It embraces aesthetic and academic interdisciplinarity, as well as the challenges, risks, and innovations that are part of such inclusionary practices. Performance also acts as a critical model for theorizing cultural and social action, providing a lens and practice through which technological and cultural innovations can be processed. How do performance conditions, practices, and innovations facilitate processes of memory, history, historiography, and imagination? How can performance studies deploy these conditions, practices, and innovations in an effort to trouble received understandings of temporality, of the present, and of the 'global present' specifically? Of presence, and of 'global presence' specifically? What tactics can performance deploy in the efforts to resist or subvert increasingly globalized networks of power, domination, and capital? In what ways do processes of globalization threaten, complicate, or facilitate performance's ability to conceive of itself in terms of remainder (or disappearance), presence (or absence)? How do performance artists, practitioners, and scholars imagine their own futures? What, and how, does the pastness of performance legate to the future of performance? What can a focus on remainder, and on temporal categories more generally, reveal about disciplinary and aesthetic habits? What does such a focus risk obscuring or leaving out?
Submissions to the PSFG Emerging Scholars' panel might engage these disciplinary questions, or a range of others around the conference theme. Papers across performance modes and historical periods are welcomed. Topics might include:
- contested boundaries between performance, theatre and other artforms
- emergent technologies in performance
- performance as a modality of (historical) knowledge
- historiographical approaches to performance
- negotiating/ building identity in performance
- remainder and the so-called death of the avant-garde
- performances that disrupt the presence of the physical body
- conflict and confrontation in the performance encounter
- performativity and theatricality
- the relationships between performance and philosophy
- performance, emotion and affect
- complexity, ambiguity and paradox in performance
- performance as debate, negotiation, breakdown
Papers for the PSFG Emerging Scholars' panel should be 8-10 pages in length (double-spaced). The deadline for submission is 15 February 2011. Please send completed papers (as attachments in Microsoft Word), with institutional affiliation and contact information, to Joseph Cermatori at jpc2143@columbia.edu. Successful applicants will be notified by the end of March 2011.

8. EVENT: Trinity Square Video presents Andrew James Paterson

Andrew James Paterson
The Ghosts of Home Entertainment
February 17 to March 19, 2011
Performance & Opening Reception: February 17, 2011, 5-7 PM
Artist Talk: February 23, 2011, 6-8 PM
http://www.trinitysquarevideo.com
In celebration of our 40th anniversary, TSV (Trinity Square Video, Toronto) has expanded its annual single-evening screening, Spotlight on a TSV Member, into a gallery exhibition, this year featuring the work of lifetime member and former Board Chair, artist Andrew James Paterson. The exhibition will present Paterson's recent work, including a venue-specific performance incorporating TSV's historic video collection, with a previous video from his significant body of work. As part of the Spotlight – which asks profiled artists to select a work by another artist that has influenced or resonates with their own practice – Paterson has chosen an early video by the late Colin Campbell for inclusion in the show.
The Ghosts of Home Entertainment showcases some of the core interests of Paterson’s extensive artistic practice. Highlighted by his pointed, sometimes petulant, questioning of contentious cultural and philosophical issues, the works featured at TSV illustrate the artist's longstanding play with speech and language as repositories for divisions of discourse and power. Paterson's conversational scripts, with their droll parodying of the caustic symbiosis between artists and art bureaucrats, art and art galleries, making and collecting, image and meaning, attest to a world of blank and bored cultural production and consumption. His aesthetic aping of post-punk, new wave irony calls to attention slippages between discursivity and surface – between the text of art and its experience, between the self and its representations, where word and image, analysis and sensation, blend. In a clairvoyant turn, Paterson's work outlines the digital age: the videos are fraught with characters stuck between consuming and producing, who just sit back and talk and watch – and talk in text – absorbed by their ghostly boundaries.
Andrew James Paterson is an interdisciplinary artist working with performance, video and film, musical composition, critical writing and fiction. His performances and videotapes have been presented and exhibited internationally and throughout Canada. Paterson was formerly the lead singer and principal writer for the band, The Government, which, between 1977 and 1982, made several recordings and one "music video", How Many Fingers? He has curated media-art programmes for various galleries and artist-run centres and has written on media-art and cultural politics for FUSE, PUBLIC, IMPULSE and FILE, as well as contributing to anthologies published by Gallery TPW, Pleasure Dome and YYZBOOKS. He is the co-editor of Money, Value, Art (2001), and editor of Grammar & Not-Grammar: Selected Scripts and Essays by Gary Kibbins (2003), both published by YYZBOOKS. Paterson has served as a board member for A Space, YYZ Artists' Outlet and TSV, where he was Board Chair in 1992.

10. EVENT: Einat Amir at Lilith Performance Studio
Dates: February 17-19, 21011; Source: Elin Lundgren
Einat Amir (ISR)
Enough About You
Performance: 17-19 February, 2011
Open hours: 7pm - 9pm.
Entrance: 40 SEK. Booking is required!
Tickets: boka@lilithperformancestudio.com
Place: Bragegatan 15, Malmö.
Lilith Performance Studio opens the new season 2011 by presenting the Israeli artist Einat Amir.
In recent years our possibilities to socialize has been simplified and changed dramatically, thanks to all the media that provides numerous meeting options. We can read strangers’ diaries and view their family albums long before we get a closer contact. The conditions to form an opinion in advance of who the other person is has increased, along with the possibility of rejecting those whom we do not want have contact with. Einat Amirs new performance ”Enough About You” touches this subject. At Lilith Performance Studio Amir creates a sensuous venue and an observatory for physical encounters, which is controlled by a predetermined template. In the work she explores the meeting as a real action and as an image, from a traditional starting point of two people, face to face.
Einat Amir’s work is infused by a great interest in contemporary social – political issues. Amir efficiently sets the reality against the fiction and allows the viewer to take the responsibility of setting their own limits, by creating choices for them to be confronted with. An example is the work Ideal Viewer –Phase one, Phase two (2009), a two-phased series of performances that begins with actors hired from Craigslist to improvise three biographical archetypes in a neutral gallery space – a crying woman, an ex –boyfriend and an interpreter. After advertising the actors’ services in the gallery and online, the second phase effectively gave the reins to the audience, enabling intimate, unmediated encounters between performer and spectator in the spectators’ own private spaces.
Einat Amir (born in Jerusalem, 1979) currently lives in New York and works in the media of Video Installations and Live Performances. Amir’s work has been shown at; PS1 Contemporary Art Center New York; PERFORMA09, New York; Palais De Tokyo, Paris; The Kitchen, New York; VOLTA, Basel; VOLTA NY; Scaramouche Gallery, New York; Winzavod Art Center, Moscow; Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Israel; Haifa Museum of Art, Israel; Rosenfeld Gallery, Tel Aviv; CareOf gallery, Milan; Städtische Galerie, Bremen and Digital Art Center, Hulon, among other venues.
Lilith Performance Studio is the first combined production studio and arena for visual art performance in Europe. The studio originates new large-scale performances by inviting visual artist to create exceptional performance pieces in a close collaboration with the Studio, from conceptualization to presentation.

16. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: encontros à volta da performance
Date: unspecified; Source: epipiderme
epipiderme, encontros à volta da performance (meetings around performance), started in November 2009, in Lisbon. It’s a regular programme focused on performance as artistic framework and a way of questioning contemporary art, aiming to encourage the practice and fruition of this real time expression.
By the lack of festivals and spaces to present Performance Art and/or Action Art in Portugal, we’ve been feeling the need to create a continuous programme that gathers and channels different proposals coming from people interested in developing this kind of artistic practices.
We’ve decided to create a monthly presentation cycle, which will offer the possibility, in a regular basis, of Portuguese and foreigner artists, emergent and established artists. The project covers not only the diffusion of the event but also the documentation and the theoretical framework of the actions. We welcome proposals for the presentation of performances, video performance, performance workshops or artistic residences.
We guarantee the spreading and presentation of the work to the Portuguese and international audience, as well as, the logistic accompaniment necessary for the accomplishment of the event. We do our best to take care of the accommodation and transfer of the artists (on demand).

20. NEW RELEASE: esse 71 - INVENTORIES
Date: on newsstands January 14; Source: esse
Ever since artists have sought to bring art and everyday life closer together and turned the "mundane" into an important material of their practice, collecting -- a part of many people's activities -- has frequently been transformed into an artistic gesture. The collection of worthless objects, of diverse traces, or even concepts, has become the raw material of numerous artistic productions in which the observation and dissection of the real, inventorying and archiving play a dominant role.
