FADO Performance Art Centre presents
Ieke Trinks

Theatre Centre Pop-up
1095 Queen Street West, Toronto
The performance work of Andrés Galeano and Ieke Trinks share a similar methodology, and sometimes, a desired goal. Developed in-situ, Galeano and Trinks create performances which combine everyday and found materials with instruction (scores), observation and live action, resulting in combinations that are both deeply philosophical and highly absurd.
Ieke Trinks was born in the Netherlands in 1977. She lives and works in Rotterdam. She holds a Masters of Fine Art at AVK St Joost in the Netherlands (2008). Ieke’s work has presented in various venues in Europe and South America. She is part of a performance collective called TRICKSTER that works with “emergent-form composition’”, and since 2009 she has co-produced PAE (Performance Art Event) in Rotterdam.

Andrés Galeano was born in Spain in 1980. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He holds a Philosophy degree at the University of Barcelona, a Photography diploma at the FFS Stuttgart, and a Free Art degree at the KHB Berlin. He works with drawing, photography, video, installation and performance and has realized exhibitions all over Europe and Canada. He is the curating of the performance art programme Extension Series at Grimmuseum (Berlin), ¡POESÍACCIÓN! at Instituto Cervantes (Spain) and is the co-organizer of the Month of Performance Art Berlin. http://www.andresgaleano.eu

3. EVENT: FADO presents Step by Step at the Rhubarb Festival
February 27-March 3, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada
FADO Performance Art Centre presents Step by Step
Conceived and performed by Andrés Galeano and Ieke Trinks
February 27-March 3, 8pm - 5 performances!
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre
12 Alexander Street, Toronto
FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to be collaborating with the Rhubarb Festival for the third year in a row. This year FADO has invited a new collaborative performance by Andrés Galeano and Ieke Trinks entitled Step by Step to the mix at the 34th Rhubarb Festival.
Want to know how to do, well &just about anything? Ask google. In Step by Step, Andrés Galeano and Ieke Trinks spontaneously create a performance score in front of a live audience using seemingly random pieces of instructional information researched on the internet. Using the cut and paste function of their computers, instruction texts and how-to explanations are sorted and compiled into a dance choreography created for, and then performed by two non-dancers. The result is an unsettling and funny live performance that oscillates between conceptual demonstration and structured chaos.

4. FADO EVENT: Simla Civelek and Alice De Visscher
Date: March 6, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada
FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to present an evening of new solo performance works from Alice De Visscher (Belgium) and Simla Civelek (Turkey/Toronto). This evening invites one local artist and one international artist to present work in the same space, allowing both the artists and the audience to experience the work of two peers from different parts of the world on the same evening; and highlighting the work of local artists in an international context. The artists will each present 2 short performances in an alternating sequence.
8pm
$10/PWYC
The Theatre Centre Pop-Up
1095 Queen Street West, Toronto
Alice De Visscher (b. 1979) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. She has been working exclusively in performance since 2006 and has presented her work in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Singagpore, Thailand and Canada. De Visscher is interested in the image of her body, the structure of a space, and the properties of certain materials. In her work she is looking for unusual, quite minimal actions, which stimulate the interpretations made by the audience. She uses her body, objects and space intuitively to create images that challenge expectations, and open new meanings. http://alicedevisscher.mosaicglobe.com/
Simla Civelek (b. 1974, Istanbul, Turkey) is a Toronto based performance artist. She creates performances that explore alienation, indulgence, memory and examine time’s relativity to emotions. Using the pretext of theatricality, she aims to create a disguise in which representation and reality are juxtaposed and played off each other. Her work has been presented at the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art, Nuit Blanche in Toronto, Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C., and OPEN Performance Art Festival in Beijing, China among other venues.

5. FADO EVENT: Emerging Artists Series 2013
Date: March 8-30, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada
FADO Performance Art Centre presents
.sight.specific.
Curated by Francisco-Fernando Granados
Co-presented by XPACE Cultural Centre
Basil AlZeri
Golboo Amani
Cressida Kocienski
Maryam Taghavi
XPACE Cultural Centre
2-303 Lansdowne Avenue, Toronto
ADMISSION: FREE or $10/$5 students
ABOUT .sight.specific.
.sight.specific. proposes performance art as the staging of sight as site: observation as contour, terrain, and architecture for modes of aesthetic embodiment. The project consists of four commissioned live works in search for situated perspectives on the possibilities of performance as a contextual spatial practice. The works situate artists and audience by trading knowledge on the streets, tracing trans-planetary sight-lines, creating home and hospitality in real time through cyberspace, and staging variations on absurdity. The shapes of these relationships brings into focus questions of knowledge and memory, contact and distance, longing and belonging.
ABOUT the series
Initiated in 2002 by Tanya Mars, FADO’s Emerging Artists Series was created to provide an on-going professional venue for emerging artists from Toronto and beyond to develop and present a performance piece, working within a curatorial framework set out by an emerging curator. FADO’s intention with this series is to nurture new work and ideas, provide direction and mentorship to both the artists and the curator, and to showcase the work of the city’s newest perspectives in performance art.
ABOUT XPACE
Xpace Cultural Centre is a membership driven artist-run centre supported by the OCAD Student Union and dedicated to providing emerging and student artists with the opportunity to showcase their work in a professional setting. We program contemporary practices that respond to the interests and needs of our membership. As we program with shorter timelines this allows for us to respond to contemporary issues in theory and aesthetics, keeping an up to the minute response to what is going on directly in our community.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Basil AlZeri is an interdisciplinary visual artist that works in performance, video, installation, food, found objects and public art interventions/projects. His work is concerned with the everyday in art, and strives to engage, interact and exist in the public space. His work emphasizes the artist’s body in space, and is inspired by Merleau-Ponty’s idea of the body as “the visible form of our intentions.” AlZeri’s performance work has been exhibited in Toronto (Whipper Snapper Gallery, Nuit Blanche), Quebec (Fait Maison 14), Winnipeg (Central Canadian Centre for Performance), and Mexico (Transmuted International Performance Art Festival, Performancear O Morir). He is currently a member of the White House Studio Project in Toronto. www.basilalzeri.tumblr.com
Golboo Amani is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist, who creates works focused on process and research through a variety of mediums including photography, performance, space intervention, digital media, and participatory practice. Concerned with the configurations of power imbedded within institutional structures of knowledge production, Golboo's practice centers on pedagogical practices and artist-run counter culture. Through cross-disciplinary collaborative projects, the artist's recent bodies of work involve facilitating inclusive spaces of agency, organizing sites for generous skill sharing and embodied acts of reclamation. www.golbooamani.blogspot.ca
Cressida Kocienski holds an MFA in Art Writing from Goldsmiths, London. Working between video, performance, and text, her research concerns spatial production and modes of narration. She collaborates with architects Nishat Awan and Phil Langley as OPENkhana, and with Suzanne Harris-Brandts as O[S]R. She is the co-editor of experimental publishing platform The Institute of Immaterialism. Kocienski was filmmaker in residence with Decolonizing Architecture Artists Residency, West Bank (2011). Her films have been screened at the Benaki Museum, Athens (2010); FormContent, London (2010); Pleasure Dome and TSV, Toronto (2012). She has performed at Whitechapel Gallery, London (2010) and Tenderpixel, London (2012). www.cressidakocienski.blogspot.ca
Born and raised in Iran, Maryam Taghavi is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist. She received her BFA in 2008 from Emily Carr University (Vancouver). Her work spreads across the mediums of drawing, photography, site-specific installation, and performance. Her practice is spread across social and spatial paradigms (the artist has been traveling between Iran and Canada since her graduation), and investigates the enigmatic relations between then and now, self and other, fiction and non-fiction. Her work examines the corporeal and psychological exchanges between architecture, domestic objects and the human body to create different scenarios for contemplation and forms of reception. She has participated in a number of exhibitions in Canada, Mexico and Iran. www.maryamtaghavidotcom.wordpress.com
ABOUT THE CURATOR
Francisco-Fernando Granados is a Guatemalan-born, Toronto-based artist primarily focused on making live work. Disillusioned by nationalism, he is happy to be identified as a performance artist. He has presented work in venues including Kulturhuset Stockholm, Ex Teresa Arte Actual (Mexico City), The Hessel Museum at Bard College, RAPID PULSE (Chicago), the Darling Foundry (Montreal), the Vancouver Art Gallery, and LIVE (Vancouver). He is the recipient of a Governor General of Canada’s Silver Medal for academic achievement, and holds a Masters of Visual Studies from the University of Toronto. He has been a member of the 7a*11d Collective (organizers of the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art in Toronto) since 2012.

7. EVENTS: Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes
Date: February 15, 2013: City: Stockholm, Sweden: Source: Denis Romanovski
Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes is a bilateral exchange project contributing to the discussion about cultural integration, identity and nationality in today's globalization in two neighbouring countries. The original idea of the project is to break the unsubstantiated image of the foreign/immigrant artist as a folk dancer or exchange student. It is time that we realize how active and influential the “Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes” are, and that these artists have the ability to provide fresh viewpoints that our societies really need!
We claim that performance art with its direct and flexible language, operating in the ”here and now”, closely encountering the audience, is a perfect tool to reflect on these matters. In Finland the Fake Finn Festival has already existed since 2011.
“Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes” is a new collaboration between New Art Contact in Helsinki, Fylkingen and PALS (Performance art links festival) in Stockholm, and PAiN (Performance Art in Norrbotten) broadening the perspective, extending it with artists in Sweden with an origin from other countries - “Wannabe Swedes”. The project will take place at Fylkingen and Supermarket in Stockholm and will continue in Helsinki at the Galeria Augusta:
Fylkingen the 13th of February
19.00 Performance program with Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes.
Supermarket art fair on the February 15th at Red Spot
16.00 – 20.00 performance program
20.00 public discussion on the topic “The Advantage of Being a Foreign Artist” with artists from the project “Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes” and Rasoul Nejadmehr from the Swedish arts council.
April 4-7, 2013
Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes moves to Galeria Augusta in Helsinki.
For more details follow our web updates at: www.fylkingen.se and www.palsfestival.se. A detailed program will be available there from the 5th of February.

Toronto Arts Council, with support of Councillor Adam Vaughan and the City of Toronto is developing a Space for Art program. Under this program, small arts work spaces will be offered to artists and non-profit arts organizations on a short term cost-recovery basis.
Space for Art is a pilot program through which Toronto Arts Council will manage a select number of below market rent spaces for arts use. The intent of the program is to help address the critical shortage of space for artists and arts programming in Toronto, enhance the profile of the arts in Toronto and contribute to the street life and vitality of City neighbourhoods. TAC is acquiring space as it becomes available as part of agreements between developers and the City. Spaces are small (usually 500 to 1000 s.f.) and located in separate developments. Space will be allocated to artists or arts organizations on a short term basis. Live/work space is not part of the program.
The intent of the pilot program is to fulfill the following objectives:
1) To enhance the neighbourhood by providing public access to arts
2) To support artists and non-profit arts organizations through the provision of affordable space
Toronto artists and not-for-profit arts organizations are invited to submit proposals for use of Toronto Arts Council’s first Space for Art project – 156 Portland – TAC Art/Work Gallery.

TAC is running the program as a pilot for the first year. The space will be available on a short term basis, up to a maximum of ten months. It has been designed as a gallery space in which it will be easy to hang and exhibit works of art.

10. EVENT: PAiN in Stockholm!
Date: February 17, 2013: City: Stockholm, Sweden: Source: Johannes Blomqvist
PAiN is invited by Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm and is hosting the sunday Red Spot performance program on 17/2.
PAiN – Performance Art in Norrbotten is a platform for performance art in Sweden's northernmost county. PAiN works to broaden and strengthen the performance art scene in Norrbotten, make Norrbottnian artists and artworks visible outside the region and to stimulate collaboration and exchange both nationally and internationally. At Supermarket Art Fair, PAiN presents four Norrrbotten-based performance artists with three performances that have earlier been shown in Norrbotten, and also brings along a friend from Västerbotten, the neighbouring county.
Stina Engman & Malin Andersson, Bread on bread
Bread on bread is a follow-up to Stina and Malin's most recent collaboration Flour and water. An ongoing performance where the artists explores the relationship between them and the material.
Johannes Blomqvist, Musical Chairs (Hela havet stormar)
In Musical Chairs Johannes Blomqvist refers to the traditional children's game as well as his family history of chair-making, the context of Kulturhuset, and the everyday sounds of chairs. The performance examines the role of the audience in a performance situation and tries to sit uncomfortably between visual art and theatre.
Gabriel Bohm Calles, The Piper (Flöjtisten)
A piece about traditions.
Sofia Breimo, Knock on wood (Peppar, peppar, ta i trä)
The central question is basically whether it'll be a win or a lose. Good luck
PAiN is also co-organizer of the PALS and New Art Contact project Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes - 13-15/2 at Fylkingen and Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm and 4-7/4 at Gallery Augusta in Helsinki.

13. WORKSHOP: Elvira Santamaria
Date: February 26-28, 2013: City: Belfast, N.Ireland: Source: Hugh O’Donnell
ATTENTION: Elvira Santamaria's workshop will take place from Tuesday 26th February 2013 till Thursday 28th February 2013 in The Golden Thread Gallery Belfast. The Gallery does not open Monday 25th February 2013.
This maybe of interest to you. Hopefully you can make it, please spread the word.
This is a call out to all artists' to participate in a three day workshop for four hours a day. Artist Elvira Santamaria will give this workshop at the Golden Thread Gallery Belfast from the Tuesday 26th February to Thursday 28th February 2013. The reason for this workshop is to raise funds for the DUO DAYS performance art event organised by Bbeyond. DUO DAYS will happen from the 29th April till the 6th May 2013. All proceeds from the workshop are being donated to the DUO DAYS event. The cost of the workshop is £50.
DUO DAYS is a performance art event, inviting artist couples from around the world, (artists in a relationship, collaborating in performance) to investigate the theme of duality. Through collaborative performances we observe how two people who co-exist and co-inhabit through performance art as well as domestically, utilise this closeness and intuitiveness which their relationship affords, providing opportunity to further test the nature of relationships; from domestic life to social ethics, from mind and body to art and audience. Duo performances demonstrate how exchange and dialogue in the live moment can reflect upon interconnectedness in the wider sphere of social responsibility.
Please contact Hugh O'Donnell on 0044 (0) 7814954707 or hughyod@hotmail.com to arrange booking a place. Places are limited, so early booking is essential.
About the Workshop
Performance Art, visualising and reflecting the personal process.
Performance Art, before anything else, is to cultivate a personal process of consciousness through the action. The demands of showing off performance art tends to blur a clear perspective of this noble part of the practice. In this workshop we will review critically what we do and why we do it, as action and body language is not intermediary communication, but a corpus of small facts that shape, in the present, our relationships, and its complex messages, are not only to be grasped by the others but to in-form the person who perform them. A personal expression in Performance art is a construction of deconstructed (analysed) actions and behavior, keeping the essentials of the human for humanistic purposes in order to be Art. Performance art is not a show, it must be an event in the complexity of the experience.
Biography
Elvira Santamaría was born (1967) in Mexico. Since 1991 she has showed her work in public spaces, museums, galleries and theatres of Mexico, Canada, USA and cities Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Australia, etc. At the moment, she continuous developing her artwork, giving workshops, talks and organizing performance art events in Mexico and other countries.Her works are a personal search by means of many forms of action art (chamber performance, public interventions, process installation etc). Nowadays she is realizing urban actions and interventions, process art and In-situ installations.For her, action Art is an existential practise of self-knowledge. Its poetic postulates the self-creation through the acts. The symbolic act creates important reference points in the evolution of the consciousness of the artist, but the not symbolic one is the true dimension of the present.

19. CALL FOR ARTISTS: Franklin Furnace Fund
Deadline date: April 1, 2013: City: New York, USA: Source: Franklin Furnace
This season is the 28th anniversary of the Franklin Furnace Fund. Initiated in 1985 with the support of Jerome Foundation, Franklin Furnace has annually awarded grants to emerging artists selected by peer panel review to enable them to prepare major performance art works. Events are presented in partnership with collegial venues, online, or, in the city environment.
Grants range between $2,000 and $10,000 based on the peer review panel allocation of funding received by Franklin Furnace. Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; however, artists supported by funding from Jerome Foundation must live in the five boroughs of New York. Full-time students are ineligible.
Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. Every year the panel changes, as do the definitions of "emerging artist" and "performance art." So if at first you don't succeed, please try again.
Since 1985, the Fund has helped launch the careers of Jo Andres, Tanya Barfield, Jibz Cameron aka Dynasty Handbag, Lenora Champagne, Patty Chang, Papo Colo, Brody Condon, Nicolás Dumit Estévez, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Coco Fusco, Kate Gilmore, Pablo Helguera, Donna Henes, Murray Hill, Holly Hughes, Liz Magic Laser, Taylor Mac, Robbie McCauley, Jennifer Miller, Naeem Mohaiemen, Rashaad Newsome, Clifford Owens, Pope.L, Dread Scott, Pamela Sneed, Fiona Templeton and Diane Torr, among 241 other fund recipients.
