3. EVENT: Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival Date: July 4-28, 2013: City: New York, USA; Source: BIPAF
More Info: www.bipaf.net/bipaf/bipafcalendar ARTISTS LIST: www.bipaf.net/bipaf/artistlist
The Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival (BIPAF) is conceived of and formally constructed as a mass performance. Taking place across 11 spaces in Brooklyn and involving over 150 artists from all over the world, BIPAF is posited as a form of “constructive institutional critique” by its artist-organizers, as demonstration against the increasing capitallization of performance art, as a self-analysis of the current performance art resurgence and index of the discipline, and as an attempt to relationally construct new economic and social contexts for performance art.
BUT WHY ARE WE DOING IT LIKE THIS? Performance artists have long been dealing with their own situation and the overarching contexts in which their work exists. Our deeper levels of consideration regarding social interaction/interface are catalyzing new performance movements all over the world, while art world structures (let alone other social and economic structures) remain largely unpenetrable and disinterested in anything other than "art-products." Meta-organization of BIPAF is framed as a collaborative performance work involving social forms, economic systems, relational disciplines, and conceptual practices to engage with the actual performance work being done; BIPAF's "performative fluxstructure" gives us all the opportunity to collectively (+ live) construct situations that follow our ideas and practices all the way through, as we are able to creatively consider the implications of everything we do, from exhibition form through documentation, through funding, through critical analysis. Slow, money poor but resource-rich, communal yet dependent on leadership acts, BIPAF will be exactly what you make it out to be, and nothing more.

5. WORKSHOP: Between Intimacy and Architecture with Victoria Stanton Deadline: July 1, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Victoria Stanton
PEFORMANCE ART WORKSHOP at Artscape Gibraltar Point: Between Intimacy and Architecture: subtle and relational performance in public place
Info online: http://bit.ly/Xs30a8 To reserve your spot: http://torontoartscape.org/residencies/booking-your-stay
Location: Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island Dates: July 29 – August 2, 2013, with a final performance by participants on August 3 Costs: $675 + HST (this includes private accommodation for the duration of workshop) Application Deadline: July 1, 2013
Description of Workshop How do we listen to each other? How do we interact? How do we respond to the landscape around us? How do we engage with time and space? Cultivating attentive awareness, empathetic presence and peripheral vision, this workshop will explore the multiple and very personalized ways in which we experience and foster intimacy and connection – in ourselves, towards others, and in relation to place. We will explore how time and space are intimately connected and linked to how we develop a relationship to the space and people around us; how repetition of an action (over time) within a particular space necessarily creates familiarity with that space, within the various contexts in which we find ourselves to be. We will also explore how the ways in which a "non-productive" use of time, as carried out in public (place) activates a space.
Performance Philosophy Whether working in participatory, durational, task-based or audio-visual performance, the constant thread in my work is an investigation into the ability (and the desire) to hold a space, to appropriate and disrupt the quotidian, to create spontaneous intimacy, to tread vulnerability. Investing a performative presence and consciousness within multiple spaces/times, I continuously underscore the complex aspects of “transaction” and the possibility for transformation.
Much recent work explores the elusive “in-between” – that invisible, liminal space between myself and the audience (whether a group or just one person) or between myself and my object/action/location – whether appearing “on stage” (in a black box, white cube, bar or loft) or “out in the world” (in public sites and “non-art” contexts). The “in-between” is my inquiry into transitional space: as manifested on stage (has the performance ended?), as presented through relational exchange (is this a performance? Is this Art?), and as experienced out in the world through geopoetic meandering, and the conscious inhabiting of non-places found in the built environment. These subtle forms of testing the limits of vulnerability make up an overall practice (and multiple research processes) as an artist working in – and with – space and time.
About the Workshop Facilitator Victoria Stanton is an interdisciplinary artist working with live action, human interaction, video, film, photo, drawing, and writing. Continually exploring within such diverse media, while the outward results of her practice manifest in a multiplicity of forms, performance is the unifying central focus and invariable core of her research. Her time-based work includes performance for stage, performance for the camera, actions in public spaces, and one-on-one encounters in intimate contexts.
Stanton has presented exhibitions, performances, interventions, and films/videos in Canada, the U.S., Europe, the U.K., Australia, Japan and Mexico. Her creative and critical writings have been published in Canadian and American anthologies and art/literary/lifestyle magazines. She is the co-author with Vincent Tinguely of Impure: Reinventing the Word (conundrum press, 2001) and is currently working on a new book with the TouVA Collective (comprised of Anne Bérubé, Sylvie Tourangeau and Stanton) developing salient notions on how performance is practiced and on the question of ‘the performative.’ www.bankofvictoria.com

MA Interval Performance over seven days Martine Viale
Performance Daily from Thursday July 11th, 2013 to Thursday July 18th Hours and duration of performance will vary. Finissage Thursday July 18th, 6pm
La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse 4296 boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montreal, Canada
The project MA Interval, is a project spread over a year, consisting of different kinds of performative actions, in the space of the gallery and in public space, in different citys across the world, including Nicosie (Cypress), Curitiba (Brazil) and Montréal (Canada). Employing the idea of refuge as a centrale image, I am particularly interested, for this series, by spatial intervals; temporal spaces that connect people, things, words, and time.
What the Japonese call Ma, could translate as an interval in time and space. The void that contains all... Each of these performances will be concentrated on a specific aspect of the spatial interval. For La Centrale, I am looking into the precious equilibrium between the feminine and the masculine, as well as the possibility to create experiences and hybrid qualities between the two. -Martine Viale

From Semiotics of the Kitchen, Martha Rosler's deadpan cooking show of 1975, right up to the on-going manic high jinks of Ryan Trecartin, artists have been turning the camera on themselves and their friends and, in the process, have redefined performance for the camera as both expressive and excessive.
Participants in Stop with the performance already! will have an opportunity to hone their curatorial skills in the media arts in a number of important ways: attending specialized workshops conducted by arts professionals; conducting independent research using the rich resources available through Vtape; writing a curatorial essay for their program of selected titles, with invaluable editorial assistance provided by an arts professional; and, finally, presenting their curated program to the public.
Research phase (August-September) includes: -workshops conducted by established curators, artists and arts professionals specializing in media arts and an interest in performance-based work -free access to the vast research facilities on site at Vtape, with almost 4000 titles by -extensive access to the Vtape on-line preview resource available only to curators and authorized researchers.
Presentation phase (January – February 2014) includes: -an exhibition of all the curated programs with an introduction by the curator -a fully illustrated catalogue of all the programs with curatorial essays.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FRIDAY JULY 12, 2013, 4:00PM
Proposals must include: -an up-to-date c.v.; -a statement of intention (1 page in total) that outlines your interest in video and performance and why you want to be part of The Curatorial Incubator, v.11 – Stop with the performance already! -examples of critical writing your have done (published or non-published) -examples of any curatorial or organizational work you have done

15. WORKSHOP: Public Space Action Art Lab with Eric Létourneau Date: August 16-18, 2013; City: Toronto, Canada: Source: Claude Wittmann
Public Space Action Art Lab: physical body and radio body Workshop with Eric Létourneau (Montréal) @ City Hall, Toronto
August 16-18, 2013 Minimum 6 people, maximum 10 $250 (*one sliding slot available)
Registration (please do both steps): 1) send email to claude wittmann at clowittmann@gmail.com 2) send $60 cheque to Eric Létourneau, 6349 Drolet, Montréal, H2S 2S6
For this workshop, Létourneau will gradually combine work on dreams and work with radio transmission in the public space. He will draw from performance art approaches and from his interdisciplinary experience and, he will facilitate the development by the participants of methodologies of creation that are specific to the public space.
Létourneau will bring a variety of exercises which will invite the participants in different modalities regarding the use of time, the use of space and the quality of presence during actions.
Night dreams will be used as a material to inform the first actions of the participants. Participants will be invited to write down their dreams before and during the workshop. Some of these dreams will then be deployed in the space of the studio and explored in real-time through sensations and images. Elements of them will be brought in the realm of action.
Later, the participants will have access to a radio FM transmitter broadcasting in the public space around the studio. At this point, the participants will have the opportunity to explore new territories of presence, other layers of meaning and also a disembodied performative experience as radio transmission often generates the sensation of having another invisible body through the physical action of broadcasting. This second body then evolves in the immateriality of the public space and becomes a new research field for the participants.
André Eric Létourneau is a performance artist, story teller, radio art creator and author working with an interdisciplinary process. Since the 1990s and 2000s, he regularly participates in international festivals and events across the world. He was at the Biennale de Paris and recently at the 2012 Biennale de l'Afrique de l'Est in Burundi. He has a background in communication and has taken numerous master classes, namely with performance artists Sylvie Tourangeau, Ben Vautier, Genesis P-Orridge, Esther Ferrer, Arahmaiani et Jean Dupuy.
Létourneau has worked with numerous production and broadcasting organisms. He has worked for Radio-Canada producing radio creations of sound poetry and action art. An active member of the Regroupement des artistes en arts interdisciplinaires du Québec (RAIQ) and of the Dare-Dare centre in Montréal, he has taught at the Chaire de recherche du Canada en dramaturgie sonore au théâtre, and at l’Institut d’études politiques de Paris (SciencesPo). He is currently professor in charge of the Radio sector at l’École des médias of the University of Québec in Montréal (UQAM) and he is working as an artist-researcher in the research groups Hexagram-UQAM and, Art & Flux, a CNRS research team on art, economy and society integrated with ACTE Institute (UMR 8218) Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne University in Paris.

Absurdity Human beings are acting completely absurd and right away, they even speak and write in an absurd way about it. Nobody would doubt this fact and looking over a longer period, nobody really changes it. Why? Absurdity describes something extremely unreasonable. If somebody speaks about a round quadrangle, or immaterial substances, or of a free will, we should not say this person is in an error, but that these words were without meaning, that is to say, absurd.
To consciously work with absurdity is obviously an absurd thing in itself, but it also creates a certain strength, which might lead to an image, a situation or atmosphere which we would have never found with a rational or scientific understanding. The potential of absurdity is scary and irritating, but it’s also humorous and since decades artists are using the power of absurdity to bring out magnificent art works through a transformation of reality. There is an amazing freedom in the process of turning the known into the unknown, but also about turning facts into emotions, and if we do it well, it turns finally back into a new reality.

The word territory is since the appearance of life on the globe connected with defending or conquering and enters directly an existential question of everybody’s life. In times of globalization where immigration and emigration are the challenging topics of modern societies, territories are even stronger connected with the aspect of identification and the search for a new identity. This search for biographical positions, family trees, memorable places and an own imprint in the land under the feet is not only a matter of geographical areas anymore, but a historical and cultural issue. It has never been this easy to change places in the world, but to find yourself in it, has never been that challenging and intimate before.
Art is a territory by itself, moving and expanding in many directions. It also tries to conquer, to discover, even to defend and all this in order to create space for a personal imprint and landmarks. If we understand how to strengthen this sense of polyterritoriality in art, we open a fruitful and intense dialogue with art forms, artistic articulations and as well other non-artistic areas, to set another landmark which belongs to us, as individual travelers and sailors.

18. CALL FOR PAPERS: esse: RENOVATION Deadline date: September 1, 2013: Source: esse
Send your text (750-2,000 words, footnotes included) to redaction@esse.ca before September 1, 2013. Please include a short biography (50-80 words), an abstract of the text (80-100 words), as well as postal and e-mail addresses. We also welcome submissions (reviews, essays, analyses of contemporary art issues) not related to a particular theme.
RENOVATION It its next issue, esse wishes to explore the phenomenon of renovation, which is broached in various artistic practices and experienced on the fringe of artistic activities by both artists and arts venues. Numerous works are primarily linked with the field of renovation through their use of particular materials and tools, but also by having recourse to devices that emphasize site, construction, building site development, or the project implementation process. In this perspective, we are interested in texts analyzing corpora of works which—on a real or metaphorical level—question (re)construction processes or directly involve rebuilding. This raises various questions. First of all, from a historical viewpoint, how does renovation differ from the tabula rasa of the avant-garde? Do these practices problematize a relationship with the past, a return to a former state, or the restoration of an initial situation, or, on the contrary (or even simultaneously), is it rather a question of the desire to transform and renew? Do works that call on renovation revive the key issues and challenges of the in situ intervention at specific sites charged with history or a non-artistic vocation? Do they somehow strive to call into question the concept of the work of art as a finished object?
In addition, it is important to question whether artists approach renovation as a means to lay emphasis on recycling and recuperation, or whether their focus is turned towards the new—the consumption or overconsumption of new materials. Clearly, taking up the phenomenon of renovation also means considering artistic practices that examine the notion of productivity in relation to the economy (growth or recession), lifestyles, and perhaps even, from a critical perspective, the renovation industry, as lauded by magazines and reality TV shows devoted to home improvements and interior decoration. The interest of artists in renovation could equally touch on issues specific to architecture, design, and urban renewal.
CALL FOR PAPERS Theme: RENOVATION esse arts + opinions no. 80 Deadline: September 1, 2013
This theme is also a stark reminder of the role that renovation plays in the lives of many manually skilled artists who take on jobs in the renovation industry to earn a living wage, or who develop personal projects to improve their own living environments. This reality also affects those responsible for arts venues and production spaces, especially when they are obliged to move premises or to improve their spaces, often on a minimal budget. This is all too indicative of the precarious socio-economic circumstances of these central actors of the arts milieu in face of profit-hungry property developers who anticipate astronomical gains for projects in neighbourhoods made desirable by the presence of artists. In this vein, do these very tangible situations experienced by arts venues and practitioners permeate the artworks? Do they have an observable effect on the creative process? Or do they create new perceptions of the figure and role of the artist? We invite authors interested in these questions to submit articles that will shed light on this complex phenomenon.
EDITORIAL POLICY Our comprehensive editorial policy can be consulted online at esse.ca/en/callpapers All articles are reviewed by the Board, which reserves the right to accept or refuse a submitted article. Selection of articles may take up to 6 weeks after submission by the writer. The Board’s decision is final. A refused text will not be re-evaluated. With the exception of the expressed consent of the Editorial Board, the writer agrees to submit a previously unpublished, original text. The Editorial Board does not consider articles that may represent a potential conflict of interest between the writer and the content of the article (i.e., a text written by the curator of an exhibition).

19. WORKSHOP: Long Duration Performance with Nezaket Ekici Date: September 28-October 6, 2013: City: Berlin, Germany; Source: Irene Kletschke
Based on selected works from art history – from the Renaissance to contemporary art and your own work – the participants will develop ideas for a performance. The participants bring to life an art work and use the medium of performance to present it, which essentially means bringing movement and time to a momentary artwork. In their performance the participants experience the transformation of their art work over time and get to know and evaluate mental and physical transformations. They learn not only how to handle the material with which they perform, but also how to construct spatial and temporal references for the completion of a performance as a work of art as a whole. With the help of, amongst others, concentration exercises, ways in which to expand your own physical and mental boundaries will be explored. The workshop will be documented in photos, texts and videos and together with the performances of the participants will be shown in the final presentation as a two hour “Living Performance – Installation”. The course is aimed at artists from the specialisms sculpture, painting, photography, video and other media.
Course language: English and German Fee: 290€ (registration until 30/6/2013) / 340€ (registration from 1/7/2013)

KlangKunstBühne International Summer Academy An interdisciplinary search for new images, sounds, spaces and figures. 21st of September until 15th of October 2013.
KlangKunstBühne is a continuing education programme offered by the Universität der Künste (University of the Arts) Berlin. It is aimed at all artistic disciplines. In courses lasting one week each, participants experience the possibilities of moving beyond the borders of their disciplines. Working with renowned international artists, new knowledge and abilities in previously unexplored areas are acquired and the possibilities of the participants’ own artistic expression are broadened. Ultimately KlangKunstBühne seeks to establish an innovative atmosphere in which lasting contacts are made and where new ideas are discovered and realized – with consequences for the running week and beyond, sparking impulses that create a unique language of sound, art and stage.
In honour of its 10 year anniversary, KlangKunstBühne has invited artists whose work is socially and politically engaged, ranging from local to global contexts. The Berlin architecture collective raumlabor will analyse, with the course participants, urban space and its potential beyond the capitalistic, cost/performance or value for money standpoint (21st till 29th september 2013). The director Hans-Werner Kroesinger deals in his workshop with worldwide food speculation, using “documentary theatre” techniques to bring it to the stage (21st till 29th september 2013). For the performance artist Nezaket Ekici her own body becomes the medium with which to present social, gender, and art history questions and also the creation of art in the moment of the performance (28th september till 6th october 2013). The Brazilian composer Tato Taborda researches the soundscape of places with regard to their respective voice (28th september till 6th october 2013), whilst the American sound artist Paul DeMarinis reasearches, using the phenomenon of the “seance”, the relationship between sounds and source and finds a subjective connection between the sender and the receiver (8th till 15th october 2013). The artist Eran Schaerf interweaves political phenomena and experiences into works of art, which reveal their own narrative poetic force (5th till 13th october 2013).
