1. EVENT/PANEL: Loop Gallery / Performance Art + Partnership Panel Date: September 29, 2011; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: loop gallery
Loop Gallery presents: Performance Art + Partnership A Panel Discussion and Keynote Presentation by Amelia Jones
Harbourfront Centre in the Brigantine Room The Brigantine Room, York Quay Centre, Harbourfront Centre
Thursday September 29, 2011 7:00pm – 9:30pm (doors open at 6:30pm) Tickets: $10 (available via the Harbourfront box office) www.harbourfrontcentre.com/visualarts/2011/visual-arts-special-event
7:00pm, Panel Discussion: Performance Duos
Panelists include: Toronto-based performance duo, Paul Couillard and Ed Johnson, Governor General Award winning artists Lisa Steele and Kim Tomczak, and Montreal-based Flutura & Besnik Haxhillari(Two Gullivers). The panel will be moderated by Jim Drobnick, art critic, curator and Associate Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory at the Ontario College or Art and Design.
Performance art is often thought of as a solitary activity, or one that involves multiple collaborators. What unique issues are raised when intimate partnerships between artist couples become the subject of creative partnerships? Artist pairs working in performance art, often in combination with video, photography or drawing, will situate their work within the larger social, historic and political context of their shared practice.
8:30pm, Keynote: Amelia Jones, Professor and Grierson Chair in Visual Culture, McGill University "The Body as Archive/The Archive as Body: Intimacy in the Study of Live Art"
The researcher has an "intimate" relationship with the archive, but also often with the still-living artist. Jones explores relations of intimacy as they condition our access to histories of live art.

2. EVENT: VIVA! Art Action Dates: October 4-9, 2011; City: Montréal, Canada: Source: Michelle Lacombe
This third edition of VIVA! Art Action, including five evenings of action art as well as several artistic interventions in the public sphere, is the fruit of the collaborative work by seven artist run-centres in the Montreal area. These different approaches provide a unique glimpse into the eclectic possibilities in live art.
As in the past, artistic programming is complimented by a series of initiatives aimed at enriching the artists’ and audiences’ experiences with discussion, reflection, and community building. These include well-loved reoccurring elements that have come to characterize VIVA!, as well as new initiatives aimed at further distinguishing the festival as a unique and progressive context for the exploration of live art practices.
Taking part in our third edition are: SP 38 (FRA/DEU) Jörn Burmester (DEU) Amanda Dawn Christie (NB) Shannon Cochrane (ONT) Eisenächer/Harder CLAIMS (DEU) Marie-Suzanne Désilets (QUE) Rachel Echenberg (QUE) Florian Feigl (DEU) Nadège Grebmeier Forget (QUE) Andrés Galeano (ESP/DEU) Marc Giloux (FRA/ITA) Yurie Ido (JPN/DEU) Jessica MacCormack (QUE) Noémi McComber (QUE) Jon Mueller (USA) Stefan St-Laurent (ONT) karen elaine spencer (QUE) Julischka Stengele (DEU/AUT) Martine Viale (QUE) Alice de Visscher (BEL) and Sara Wookey (USA)

Orangerie-Theater im Volksgarten, Volksgartenstrasse 25, 50677 Köln 03. Oktober 2011 / Inception 19:30
Structural concept: For the fourth time, Asian artists in the field of the performance and performance art are invited for the meeting with European representatives in the same category. This time we could win 8 positions from Hong Kong which get in encountering in different European cities and with different partners and artists and step into an east-west dialogue together.
Several artistic positions from Hong Kong meet several local artistic positions in various places with the goal to bring methods, models and artistic strategies to the opinion. The subject of the presentation is to realize artistical views to the similarity, the friction and the diversity of the models and how to place methods and strategies into different public places, implicitly the public outdoor areas/versus/closed circle areas.
Invited artists from Hongkong: Mok Chiu Yu Sammu Yuen Kin Leung Au Yeung Tung Leung Wai Man Vinci Mok Chan Mei Tung Ger Choi Tsz Kwan

4. EVENT: 17th International Festival of Contemporary Arts/City of Women Dates: October 5-15, 2011; City: Ljubljana, Slovenia; Source: Alja Stvarnik
In October, the city of Ljubljana will transform into the City of Women. The common denominator for artists hosted in the spirit of this year’s festival motto – Abracadabra – is the “magic” of the outlived and non-functional patriarchal patterns, socio-political conventions and moral and ethical norms and values that prefer something more abstract and elusive than an individual human being – namely, the “magical power” of religion, ideology and political beliefs, which can serve to liberate an individual. A rich festival programme offering everything from concerts, exhibitions, children’s programme, dance performances, performances, lectures, workshops, discussion panels and meeting with the artists…
This year's Festival will present: Barbara Kukovec, Katarina Stegnar Spellbound Soap&Skin Chinawoman Iva Bittová & Vladimír Václavek Nathália Mello Alexandra Eldridge Jo Andres J. L.

5. EVENT: MAKING UP – TEARING DOWN, Performance Art at TINA B. Festival Date: October 19-22, 2011; City: Prague, Czech Republic; Source: Verena Stenke
MAKING UP – TEARING DOWN Performance Art at TINA B. Contemporary Art Festival
ARTISTS: Nathalie Mba Bikoro (GAB) Melissa Garcia Aguirre (MEX) Christina Georgiou (CYP) Gisela Hochuli (CH) Sne_ana Golubovi_ (SRB) Heike Pfingsten (GER) Lynn Lu (SGP) General Director of TINA B. Festival: Monika Burian Jourdan Curators: VestAndPage (Verena Stenke & Andrea Pagnes)
At Hotel Jalta, Bio Oko Cinema, Vernon Gallery and River wharf spaces; Prague, during the opening days of TINA B. Festival October 19-22, 2011.
TINA B. Festival is a unique event organized every year in Prague by Vernon Gallery. TINA B. stands for “This Is Not Another Biennial” and has repeatedly been organized under the auspices and with the support of the Czech Ministry of Culture and the City of Prague.
MAKING UP-TEARING DOWN, this year’s section dedicated exclusively to Performance and Live art, is curated by VestAndPage and presents audacious performances by seven internationally renown female artists.
There are artists whose creativity draws on a cutting-edge research to reveal and illuminate apparent inconsistencies in human response to various kinds of crisis (private, public, political); others who direct their creative efforts to introduce new approaches on how to upfront various aspects of human life (social, domestic, nomadic); and others who adopt radical transparent working methods searching for possible solutions, which could have the potential to stimulate people to question further, in order to make new decisions about how to rethink and reform their lifestyles and personal behaviors. Today exists an upcoming generation of Live artists whose actions are aimed to explore what it means to be fully aware not only about human emotions, habits and social lives, but also about environmental issues, scanning into how people can become more caring about ecological impacts of lifestyles, for creating mechanisms for positive change. As this may guide people’s decisions towards more consciousness, the presented performances are specifically designed to stimulate the investigation of cutting edge ideas in the fields of economics, taxonomy, information, science, and on what constitutes human habitats, analyzing how and why people’s surroundings transform, evolve or devolve.
