ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Claudia Bucher (born 1971, lives in Lucerne) studied sculpture at the London Art School and Fine Arts at the Lucerne School of Art and Design. She works in various mediums including performance art, installation, drawing and printmaking. Claudia’s process is focused on site specificity, using the performance space to situate her body in space as sculpture, and an experiment in how an action changes the relationship between the body and the surrounding environment. What results is a portrait of moments of transition and transformation – when beauty becomes ugliness, clean becomes dirty, and gentleness turns into aggression.

 

Andrea Saemann (born 1962, lives in Basel) is an artist and curator whose work has included the realization of various artist initiatives and performance art platforms taking shape around Switzerland since 1997, including “Performance Saga” which aims to update the history of Performance Art and promote a dialogue between generations. As a project, “Performance Saga” includes performance pieces, events and the publication of video interviews by a roster of some of performance art’s most important female historical figures. In order to personally experience performance art history, Andrea’s work utilizes the “performance copy” – repeating aspects or entire performance works by other artists, constricting the artist’s field of action, and allowing for intense focus on even the smallest gesture.

4. EVENT: In Somnem, Ludere (In Sleep, Play):

Date: September 8, 2012; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Cassandra Witteman

 

An Evening of Experimental Performance, Music and Video

Where: 163 Sterling Road, Unit 2

When: September 8th, 8:00 p.m. – 2 a.m.

 

In Somnem, Ludere (in sleep, play) brings together hidden, emerging and established artists to explore the realm of the hypnagogic, a state between sleep and wakefulness where the reality of dreams disrupts the strictures of rationalized consciousness, unleashing the subconscious, the subliminal and magickal. In the state of sleep, mystical realisations, magical action and exploration are the norm. We seek to bring to life a sense of this suspension of disbelief, where attendees become actors, awash in a landscape of sound, feeling and the explorations of latent potentiality. Performance installation, durational performance, spoken word, live electronic and ambient music and video projection pieces promise a stimulating adventure exploring bedtime trauma, guilt, nostalgia, joy, ecstasy and biomedical feedback.

 

Brainchild of performance artist Cassandra Witteman and experimental musician David

Jones, In Somnem, Ludere is an attempt to bridge their unique backgrounds and others to create an inclusive, exploratory space where art can be both elevated and participatory. It is their hope that their special brand of performance speaks to the emotions of the participants, having an intrinsic meaning that need not be explained.

6. EVENT: News from Stammtisch

Date: September 10, 2012; City: Berlin, Germany; Source: Stammtisch

 

Dear Stammtisch members, regulars, guests and hangers on,

 

Our own meetings, starting September 10, will change radically. After almost 10 years of presenting performances we invite those who are interested to collectively develop reflective formats and to imagine performance art as a discursive and critical practice. As much as we enjoyed meeting artists from around the world and seeing their work, we feel that Stammtisch has strayed far from its original idea. What was once conceived as a meeting point for the Berlin scene, for artists to discuss and develop their work, has become one of several regular presentations formats, where international artists drop by to show their work. Also, unlike to the situation when we started, thanks to our friends at Grimuseum, Savvy Contemporary, Flutgraben e.V., Grüntaler 9, GlogauAIR and our collective efforts around Month of Performance art, there is now a lively performance art scene with many opportunities to present and see work. We feel that another unfunded series performance art events is not needed anymore. We also have grown increasingly critical of making a regular practice of asking artists to work for free, while we have not been able to help to improve the funding situation for performance art in this city.

 

But most of all, we miss the intimate, personal atmosphere of our early meetings. So for the time being we will meet in smaller circles to speak about issues related to our art, and to develop new formats of exploring them. Everybody interested in a continuous exchange on the theory, origins and backgrounds of performance art practices is welcome. We will continue to help with the presentations of a few selected artists, whose work we absolutely want to see, but the monthly free for all will go on a break. Details of the new format are still in the makings, we will inform you as we go along, and look forward to your input.

8. EVENT: Aktionslabor PAErsche - the September issue, 2012

Date: various in September; City: Köln, Germany; Source: Boris Nieslony

 

The autumn activities by the Aktionslabor NRW - PAErsche are three larger blocks of presentations in the months of Septembers, October and November 2012, and – this is characteristical for PAErsche – we can serve magnificent artists out from different countries from Europe, gladly followed the invitation from PAErsche.  

 

The first block begins in Bonn, Künstlerforum on the 11th of September 

Participants are Eva Wal, an a female artist based in Bonn. Aiweiwei: Secret, candor, life and death appear as a cipher, appear, pull over and remain as a trace. A ritual. Two solo works by Shaun Caton and Roddy Hunter. Shaun Caton's performance is a multi-layered tableau vivant that uses real archaeological items found in the river Thames and is a 30-minute performance.

 

We will have also 4 other performances   

Lala Nomada, original from Mexico, now loving in Germany described her intentions: White is not pure, it is transformation. Feeling of being trapped in a society that harasses us with softness, with television, with fashion, with all the comforts that make us addicted and require from us to ignore the reality, to sink more and more in a voluntary ignorance... everything to forget our responsibility to the world, and to the creatures that live there. Feeling of ignoring the reality by being trapped in a whitish material, in an amorphous substance…  

 

Marcio Carvalho pointed out: My grandmother teach me how to cure a curse made by a soft wind that travel from one window to another trapping ones body in the middle. She reminds me soup, a pan with soup full of her own believes. 34 years ago she traveled from Angola to Portugal, I traveled with her. When I arrive I listen many stories about where my parents use to leave, their description was so clear that I could really see it. I passed trough all the streets of Youndé and no street had a name. Later I understood that tradition is only trying to last forever. At this point my practice is working towards the understanding on how does memory manifest itself in my work? How different cultures, social groups and individuals are giving use to memory? How individual memory may be transformed into collective memory? 

 

Valentine Verhaeghe and Michel Collet are wellknown artists in France in the field of dance, performance art, Post-Fluxus and le Flux du Bus.

 

On Wednesday, 12th of September, Orangerie-Theater, Köln

A long durational performance can be seen in the Orangerie-Theater from the lunchtime until that evening. This Performance is based on a collaboration between Shaun Caton and Roddy Hunter from England. Shaun wrote: we will perform a collaborative event, ' SITE UNSEEN'. A durational performance that incorporates aspects of  sensory drawing, darkness, illumination, obliteration, blindness, display/concealment and momentary colour.

 

From France it succeeded to invite Valentine Verhaeghe and Michel Collet into the Orangerie-Theater.  Each of them will show a solo piece that connects language, dance and ironic elements in the tradition of the Fluxus.  

 

From Switzerland we expect Rhea Julia Bucher. Her performance is a cross-border action between dance, movement and voice. The singer Walter Siegfried used chants and voice as performative vocal intervention in the different spaces, situations and public fields. Another highlight is Jürgen Raap, well known in Cologne for his vernacular language, he will present a lecture performance: „Karl-Josef Bär  - Transcendence to the Laziness".  

 

PAErsche will lead that evening to the end with the finale September edition of the series of Open Source Performances (Group Performances)

11. FELLOWSHIP: The George Washington University Resident Artist/Scholar Program

Deadline date: September 14, 2012; City: Washington DC, USA; Source: Mary Coble

 

The George Washington University Resident Artist/Scholar Program 

January 14 - June 30, 2013, Washington, DC 

 

Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at The George Washington University (GW) offers an Arts Fellowship available to support a mid-career artist and/or scholar. Fields may include, but are not limited to the following: visual arts, performance art, musical composition or performance, filmmaking, creative writing, theatre, dance, and scholars in the arts. This new fellowship has been established to provide a platform for a resident artist/scholar to work together with a small group of GW faculty (Incubator Studio Fellows) and students, as well as other members of the Washington, DC arts community. The Fellow will not be assigned to teach any courses; instead, he/she will be expected to produce new work and/or scholarship, present at least one public lecture, regularly interact with graduate and undergraduate students, and fully participate in activities with GW faculty in the Incubator Studio Fellowship Program.

 

The concept for the inaugural Resident Artist/Scholar Program and Incubator Studio Fellowship Program (2013 Spring/Summer) will be determined through the submission process, which will consist of proposals from individual artists and/or scholars and GW faculty. A primary goal is to foster an interdisciplinary approach to creative research and scholarship over an intensive six-month period, a physical and intellectual space for the development of meaningful artistic and scholarly linkages across the arts and other disciplines, both on and off campus. The final result of the collaboration between the Resident Artist/Scholar Fellow and the Incubator Studio Fellows may result in a single project in which all fellows contribute equally or independent projects that have been developed through an ongoing intellectual exchange. 

 

The Resident Artist/Scholar Fellow will be provided with a stipend ($30,000.00), a modest studio/office on the Foggy Bottom Campus, as well as a creative project/research fund (up to $5,000.00) to cover expenses directly related to the realization of the work done while in residence. The Fellow is expected to be in residence in Washington, DC, at GW during the term of the fellowship (January 14 – June 30, 2013). Deadline for receipt of application for the Resident Artist/Scholar Fellowship is September 14, 2012. To apply, send:

 

-Summary of proposal (150 words)

-Extended creative project/research proposal (1-3 pages)

-Samples of past creative project/research samples related to proposal via URL or website (include link at the end of Summary)

-CV/Resume

 

Email above information to Geralyn Schultz, Associate Dean for Research (schulz@gwu.edu). Please type GW Resident Artist/Scholar Program in the subject line.

Fluxchamp!: the fluxus landscape of La Muga Caula

 

Fifty eyars ago, George Maciunas named an idea. The name: Fluxus. The idea: a Neo-Dada inspired movement, experimental, radical, interested, among other things, in an ephemeral and interdisciplinary performance art, artist editions and everyday objects; vehemently defending, at the same time, an art practicable for everyone, an art close to life that flows like a stream of water that soaks all folds of the earth penetrating them. The font/source should be a magazine, but the impetuosity of the stream was sum up in a flood of international festivals that would shape a performance art movement still not overcome. Fluxus is part of our cultural landscape and runs through the warm waters of La Caula, emanating inframinces vapours and flowing into the Muga River, across borders.

 

In addition, 2012 marks the centenary of the first contact of Marcel Duchamp with Catalonia, on the occasion of the presentation to the world of his Nu descendant un escalier n. 2, in April 1912, at the Dalmau Gallery in Barcelona. Over time, Duchamp became one of the great masters of Dada, obligatory reference to any conceptual movement, Fluxus or similar. Frequenting the surrealists he would become friend with Dali and would enjoy the Empordà landscape, a distillation of which, La Caula waterfall magically reverberates in his work Etant donnés, and even in his work Le Gran Verre as a premonitory awareness. 

 

Let’s celebrate Fluxus as a reference of all performance art events and recall Marcel Duchamp for his decisive influence of his work on Fluxus, conceptual artists, as much as on La Muga Caula, which was born as a proactive reminder of Duchamp visits to La Caula waterfall. Fluxchamp is our moto this year, a motto that reinterprets Fluxus and Duchamp overlooking the legendary and historical landscape of the Alt Empordá.

14. EVENT: Lilith Performance Studio presents Henrik Lund Jørgensen (DK)

Date: September 27-29 and October 4-6, 2012; City: Malmo, Sweden: Source: Lilith

 

FARB - The Story About A Polyester Soldier

(the 3rd (class) passenger)

By Henrik Lund Jørgensen (DK)

 

27-29 September & 4-6 October 

Open hours: 7pm - 10pm (6pm-11pm on Sept 29th during Malmo Gallery Night)

Entrance: 60 SEK

 

Booking is required: All visitors are booked two by two and are let in every 10 minutes.

Book at: boka@lilithperformancestudio.com

Place: Lilith Performance Studio, Bragegatan 15, Malmo.

 

The reality moves into Lilith Performance Studio this fall with an exclusive intimate performance by the Danish artist Henrik Lund Jørgensen, where only two people at a time can take part in from the back seat of a car. 

 

The performance - FARB - The Story About A Polyester Soldier (the 3rd (class) passenger) is a living movie scene that the viewer moves through and becomes part of. The scene is partly based on fiction taken from the visual arts, literature and film, but also a true story, a private experience, once told to the artist Henrik Lund Jørgensen.

In the performance at Lilith Performance Studio the main character is present, and the experience reconstructed to serve as the main emphasis of Henrik Lund Jørgensen's latest work.

 

The piece highlights the everyday synchronicity. Synchronicity is a term that stands for an observable meaningful coincidence with no causal connection. One can experience two incidents, which have no connection physically as if they are meaningfully linked to each other. Coincidences that is so strong that you believe that higher forces can be in play.

 

Henrik Lund Jørgensen works with video, photography, text and installation and builds characters that are as clear as evasive in their personalities. Individuals that are both historical and contemporary, victim and executioner. Characters who leave traces but who know that the only true story is the one that the memory carries, cause the things we write down and leave behind us is always a construction created to be read and seen by others.

 

Henrik Lund Jørgensen (b.1975 in Denmark) lives and works in Malmo. He is educated among others, at the Art Academy in Malmo and has during the recent years been part of exhibitions and screenings in Sweden and abroad, for example: North By New York, Scandinavia House, NYC, USA, Videonale 13, Bonn Art Museum, Germany, Norrtälje Konsthall, Sweden, Truth or Dare, Århus Kunstbygning, Denmark, Tangential Documentaries, Kiasma, Helsingfors, Finland. Lund Jørgensen is part of the Anthology of Nordic Video Art: Northwave by Dr. Lorella Scaccos 

 

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. Since its inception, Lilith Performance Studio has produced over 30 large-scale site specific performances in collaboration with artists from around the world. The Studio is found and run by the Artists and the Artistic Directors Elin Lundgren and Petter Pettersson.

15. RESIDENCY OPEN CALL: Platform

Deadline date; September 30, 2012; City: Vaasa, Finland; Source: Platform

 

We are looking for projects for our residency program which are based on the theme “The Beginning of the End or Why the World Won’t End”. There are no restrictions on how you should use the theme in your project.

 

The main focus of Platform has been to present and produce contemporary art in Vaasa with emphasis on site specific art, community art, or art projects that have some local connection. Since an important part of Platform’s activities are creating local interaction it gradually made sense to emphasize the residency program. It turned out that the projects and exhibitions made on site by artists who stayed a longer period in Vaasa seemed to work better – in the sense that they got more local attention and usually also were more interesting to us.

 

Previously the residency has been divided into two different programs, an international and a Nordic. For the International Program the selection was based on invitation conducted as a co-operation between similar art spaces or initiatives around Europe – and sometimes also inviting previous artists in residence to suggest coming artists.

Co-operation partners have been Vector (Iasi, Rumänien), Skuc (Ljubljana), Space (Bratislava), Via (Dublin), Platform Garanti (Istanbul) and 1:1 (Rome). The selection is now based on an open call, as the Nordic always was.

 

We offer the artist a stay in Vaasa for a minimum of 6 weeks up to a maximum of 4 months. However, the regular period is 2 months. A studio space, accommodation, travel expenses (cheapest possible covered), and living expenses are provided. We also offer a small production budget, which the artist may reimburse by presenting original receipts of purchases, specifically connected to the current project.

 

The studio is located in an old military barrack in central Vaasa. It is a large space shared with the office of Platform, and is divided by a wall. The building hosts also local artists. The accommodation is a big loft located in an old soap factory, a 10-minute bike ride from the city centre. In addition, there is a bike, a set of tools and equipment available for the artist. There is wireless broadband access in the studio.

 

The artist has a contact person who is in charge of necessary arrangements, but note that this is voluntary work so if any additional assistance is needed it has to be agreed upon well in advance.

 

We ask the artist to realize a project, which can be presented either during the residency or at a later stage. After the project is finished the artist should submit documentation of it, as well as press release text etc. The artist is also expected to give a public talk about his/her work, which is normally done in the beginning of the stay, in order to get to know people. We expect the artist to be able to communicate in English, Swedish or Finnish.

 

ARTIST IN RESIDENCY 2013

 

We are looking for projects based on the theme “The Beginning of the End or Why the World Won’t End”. There are no restrictions on how you should use the theme in your project.

WORKSHOP by Tamar Raban

REGISTRATION OPEN

 

Usually i have to meet the participants of the workshop to follow their dynamics and plan according to that. The first meeting will be devoted for it. Generally I'm interested in the performer body and mind and on the simple action. The being and doing rather than showing, presenting in opposite to representing, performance as a way of communication and behavior, less ideas and artistic styles... 

 

Tamar Raban studied and lives in Israel. She is one of the founders of “Shelter 209”, a non-profit organization for the promotion of interdisciplinary art in Israel, as well as “Performance Art Platform” the institute for Performance Art in Tel Aviv. She is the artistic director of the ZAZ festival, the international Performance Art festival in Israel. After a residency in Berlin in 1998 and in la Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris in 2000 she also received other art and culture prizes such as the  “Prize for a Young Artist in 1985 and the “Minister of Culture Prize” in 2008.

18. CALL FOR CURATORS: MPA (Month of Performance Art)

Date: unspecified: City: Berlin, Germany; Source: MPA

 

The 2nd edition of the Month of Performance Art - Berlin (MPA-B) closed at the end of May 2012 with an impressive programme, featuring hundreds of performances, workshops, talks, exhibitions, installations and site-specific actions. 

 

Lasting 31 days, MPA-B took place at 67 locations in 10 city boroughs and saw the involvement of hundreds of artists, curators and producers from all over the world. http://www.mpa-b.org/

 

MPA-B brought the relatively unknown world of performance art to a very diverse and broad audience, and with its work in the areas of production, programming, promotion and network development (and thanks also to a number of features and interviews on national and international newspapers, blogs, radios and articles it helped promote the work of independent artists, organisations, networks, venues and initiatives working at the fringe of funded and mainstream performing arts structures. In view of these results, we are delighted to inform you that we have begun production on the third edition of MPA-B due in May 2013 and that we are currently looking for performance art curators who would like to be part of it, and to contribute to its programming.

 

The objectives of MPA-B will remain the same however to better reach its goals, to foster a tighter and more collaborative approach to its programming and to deepen the discourse about independent and contemporary performance art practices thriving in the city, we would like to invite interested performance art practitioners to work closely with us and to attend three meetings (in Berlin/venue TBC/Skype meetings can also be arranged) over the course of three months, prior to the beginning of MPA-B 2013.

 

Through this approach we aim to create a close group of curators whose practices, interests and investigations focus on performance art and to make their work the highlights of MPA-B 2013. The programme will continue to include, in the format of a listing, other performance art projects taking place during May, however the initiatives stemming from these curators' meetings will be the main focus of MPA-B 2013 and will have a more prominent visibility in the programme. 

 

Please note that as a non-funded initiative ran by a small group of volunteer performance artists/curators/producers, we are not in a position to offer any payment for your contribution to MPA-B 2013, and that to cover administration fees and promotion costs we will require a participation fee of 70 euro. 

 

Deadlines:

- Appointment of a curator to be notified to the MPA-B team by November 1st

- First curators' meeting: November 10th

- Second curators' meeting: December 10th

- Third curators' meeting: January 10th

- Programme proposals to be finalised and submitted by February 1st

 

Participation/administration fee:

- 70 euro 

 

PROGRAMME

Primary focus of MPA-B are performance art practices which employ time and process-based strategies as basic elements in the development and presentation of work. MPA-B is open to all sorts of formats and public presentations such as live performances, workshops, screenings, documentation (written/visual), lectures, symposium, exhibitions, installations and others. In fact, through MPA-B, we strive to present the broadest variety of performance art forms to the public, so we welcome performance art projects of the widest range and experimentation. 

 

CONTEXT 

Despite its broad and very inclusive approach MPA-B is a platform for performance art practices only. We are well aware that references to, amongst others, dance, theatre, visual arts or music can be an important inspiration for performance art, however to avoid misunderstandings we recommend you check the practices above thoroughly before submitting a project proposal, and that you honestly consider if it is not one of the dance, theatre and music festivals, or visual art shows in the city that you would like to be hosted by.

 

WHAT'S NEXT?

If you feel addressed, have queries or concerns we would like to hear from you! Just reply to this email and we would gladly begin discussing with you the possibility of working together for the next edition of MPA-B 2013. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
