1. EVENT: Duorama #119 and #120 at Sunday Drive

Date: August 23 and 30, 2014; City: Warkworth, Canada

 

FADO is proud to present Part 1: Duorama #114 - #117 and Part 2: Duorama #119-121, a series of performances created by FADO's former Performance Art Curator and founding Director Paul Couillard, and founding member Ed Johnson. Partners in life and art, Paul and Ed have been creating the Duorama series for the last 14 years. The series has been sprinkled throughout the year, starting with a Duorama #114 in February, and culminating in Duorama #121 in September.

 

www.performanceart.ca/index.php?m=program&id=280

 

Duorama #119 and #120 are presented in the context of Warkworth, presented by Sunday Drive Art Projects.

Sunday Drive Art Projects has brought together a roster of some of Toronto's most active artist-run centres and collectives to present satellites in the beautiful village of Warkworth, temporarily transforming it into a hub of contemporary art. From August 23 – September 6, visit Warkworth to see works that are rarely seen outside of metropolitan centres, giving them new life in the context of a rural setting.

Warkworth is truly a special community. Just 90 minutes from Toronto, it’s situated in beautiful countryside, and has lovely historic architecture. Warkworth is home to a large community of artists, designers and architects that have helped make it a uniquely liberal, stylish village with a very creative sensibility. It balances the best of country life with contemporary taste, evident in the shops and cafes that populate it's Main Street. Just 90 minutes from Toronto, it is the perfect road trip destination.

 

Opening kick-off of Warkworth takes place on Saturday August 23rd, and includes Duorama #119, a performance by Paul Couillard and Ed Johnson. Duorama #120 takes place on August 30. Don’t have a ride? You can take the Sunday Drive bus on Opening Kick-off. 

 

DON'T HAVE A RIDE? NO PROBLEM! TAKE THE SUNDAY DRIVE EXPRESS - it's an easy way to get to the show and back on opening night. 

 

The Sunday Drive Express will leave Toronto's west end near Lansdowne subway station, 87 Wade Avenue, at 4pm and return by midnight. Tickets are $25, complete with free snacks, free drinks, and a few artistic surprises.

ABOUT DUORAMA

Since 2000, Paul Couillard and Ed Johnson have worked together on the performance art series Duorama. Playful, beguiling and often minimalist, these pieces explore notions of relationship, and draw on collaborative and competitive tensions that underlie all partnerships. Responding to site and examining cultural attitudes toward male intimacy are key elements of Duorama. Recurring themes revolve around shifting interpretations of what is political and what is personal. Many of the works can be read in terms of the current social and political climate surrounding gay culture, offering askance references to issues such as gay marriage, HIV-status, and portrayals of gay culture. To date, 113 Duorama performances have been presented at galleries, festivals and various events in Canada, France, Poland, Croatia, Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, the USA, Singapore, Ireland and the UK.

6. SERIES/EVENT: Process Performance

Date: 5 Sundays in August, 2014; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: lo bil

 

Dates: August 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31

Time: 8pm

Location: Artscape Youngplace, 180 Shaw Street, Studio 103

Admission: $10/door

 

http://processperformances.tumblr.com

 

PROCESS is a performance series that brings together an interdisciplinary mix of experienced artists for an eclectic night of conversation with audience and the presentation of works-in-process. PROCESS is a space to investigate, witness, feedback, collaborate, converse, chill out, meet friends, find new perspectives on your process, and recalibrate your interpretive channels.

 

Proceeds from the night go to the artists and to the Intergalactic Arts Collective space at Artscape Youngplace Centre.

 

The original aim of the programme is to consider performance-making as a way of being in the world.  Invited artists will show new works in progress, present research, collaborate conversationally, and/or reflect on their performance and process with audiences and other programmed artists.  There will be both formal and informal components programmed into each night to encourage conversation.  We are also including artists who might not regularly perform, to perform something of their process, as a way of opening new channels of interest in how we think about our work in performance. 

 

The Intergalactic Arts Collective is a group of 12 independent movement-based artists. We aim to facilitate collaborative exchange fostering new ideas and projects.  With these nights we hope to create opportunities for audiences and artists to engage with one another, and to create some dialogue around: 

 

-how work is made 

-what a work in progress might be 

-how audiences perceive work-in-progress 

-how these artists might take their work forward 

-how our process affects our performance objectives, our aesthetic perspectives, our cultural place, and other aspects of our collective lives. 

 

If you are interested in presenting work at a future PROCESS evening, please contact lo bil, the Curator, at lbil@rogers.com.  

 

If you have already sent a proposal but didn't hear back, please do re-send, I will reply to all proposals.

ABOUT FATHER AND SONS

This time together is simple - be together quietly for 6 hours - the duration of a car ride between Toronto and Montreal. We asked ourselves: Can you go without stopping?

 

Benjamin will dance continuously, engaging a practice of imaged-based embodiment; sourcing photographs of himself and his father - searching for the in-corporeal intersection between the figure of his father and the figure of himself; the figural co-existing in a temporality of the future-past.

 

Tim will continuously make automatons that in turn will generate [their own] other spatial and scenographic interventions. Tim is making a space where father[s] and son[s] are together, and safe. Alexander, the [other] son, will join in in this iteration. Engaging the work through his personal practices, rooted in mural art and tattoo.

 

Made and Performed by Benjamin Kamino and Timothy Kamino, and introducing Alex Kamino. Excepting a camio appearence by Gabby Kamino. Made with the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council and LUFF art + dialogue.

ABOUT CARFAC

Canadian Artists’ Representation/Le Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC) is incorporated federally as a non-profit corporation that is the national voice of Canada’s professional visual artists. As a non-profit association and a National Art Service Organization, our mandate is to promote the visual arts in Canada, to promote a socio-economic climate that is conducive to the production of visual arts in Canada, and to conduct research and engage in public education for these purposes.

 

CARFAC was established by artists in 1968 and has been recognized by the Status of the Artist legislation. CARFAC is guided by an active Board, elected by the membership.

In doing so, CARFAC promotes a socio-economic climate conducive to the production of visual arts. CARFAC engages actively in advocacy, lobbying, research and public education on behalf of artists in Canada.

11. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Feminist Art Conference (FAC) 2015

Deadline date: August 15, 2014; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: FAC

 

FAC will take place from September 24th to 27th at OCAD University.

 

Are you a feminist artist, theorist, advocate, activist, collaborator, maker, thinker or all of the above? Are you an artist who has always wanted to collaborate with an art historian or cultural theorist, or are you a researcher that has a printmaking idea? Maybe you are an activist that has an idea for a public performance piece that can be workshoped?

 

Submission Details 

We are looking for preliminary proposals to gather ideas for grant applications and other funding. This call is for people who have ideas for a workshop and want to work with other like-minded but differently-skilled practitioners to build feminist knowledge and activity out of studio practice.

 

In 2015, FAC will be returning to OCAD University. OCAD U will be opening up their studio spaces to FAC2015 for workshops and panels. We would like to reach out to our community for the content of these workshops. 

 

For one aspect of FAC2015, we are looking for workshops based around feminist social justice issues that bring together ideas and creative practice to address the power of art for social change. We are also looking for ideas that create community partnerships.

 

We are asking you to send a brief proposal of your idea and we can help develop it through the use of studios and help to find collaborators to work with you to present your ideas at FAC2015.

During one day (24h) will the loosely held performance art collective Communication Laboratory launch an expedition over 24 hours continuously create new images outdoors next to the Wernerska Villan. 

 

ComLab answering up to what Jonas Stampe writes about public space or as he calls it Common Ground: "Live Action showcases performance art specifically in the public space that belongs to all of us. We are all using it daily, and as everyone have access to it, it is a place to which we all belong in one sense or another regardless of social or ethnic background, gender, education or for that matter economic situation. It is our common ground.

 

For all these reasons public space is an open place that through its sole existence can be used to promote a cultural democracy where everyone can be given access to contemporary art. This is what we are doing in an ideological will to give everyone the possibility to experience the liberating qualities inherent in performance art.”

13. WORKSHOP: Translating theory into performance with Adriana Disman

Date: August 15-17, 2014; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Adriana Disman

 

Workshop with Adriana Disman

Dates: August 15-17, 2014

Time: 10am-6pm

Location: hub14 (Markham St. & Queen St.) *access info below

Cost: $300.00

 

Capped at 8 spaces. No drop-ins. To register email: linkandpinperformance@gmail.com

 

Sometimes starting is the hardest part. How do you enter into your own creation process? How can we spatialize thinking practices? What might the studio practice of an anti-disciplinary, body-based, conceptual performance maker look like? We will work for our own rigour. We will lean toward listening and taking time.

 

In this performance laboratory, we will try on and test many different ways of creating performance from theoretical text. Each participant will choose and bring their own short text to work with. Using these texts as starting points, we will go through exercises to explore different methods of creating performance, including: fragmentation, association, objectification, etc. Stretching the text to its extremes in all directions, we will fracture and rebuild, we will use words and wordlessness, we will adhere to the theory and we will throw it away, we will play seriously and fall into the unknown.

 

We will not work towards performing the text but rather ask how we can use theory as a starting point for creating something that stands alone and apart from it.

 

The work is focused not on virtuosity but on process. It is grounded in performance art and influenced by westernized butoh and Buddhist practices, theatre (Meisner, Grotowski), social action bodywork (Roberto Freire), and the performance pedagogy of Sylvie Tourangeau.

 

This workshop can support versatile practices (such as dance, theatre, music, photography, writing, philosophy, etc.) while asking each artist to push their limits in a way that nourishes them, exactly where they are.

 

YOU DO NOT need to feel comfortable with theory. There will be no shaming and we won’t try to be smart. YOU DO NOT need to have performance experience. YOU DO NOT need to understand the text you are working with or know where you want to go with it. All that matters is that it sparks something in you.

 

People from all types of backgrounds are welcome. People of all abilities welcome. *(Please note wheelchair access issues at bottom of text.)

 

To register email linkandpinperformance@gmail.com with the subject heading “WORKSHOP”. Note that registration is first come, first served.

 

Adriana Disman is a performance art maker, thinker, and curator based between Toronto and Montreal. Her axis of creation is always the body. She is particularly interested in durational, participatory, and one-to-one performance. Disman is engaged in exploring the threshold of vulnerability as a catalyst for intimacy and intimacy as a catalyst for transformation.

 

She comes to theory via performance. Her performance and curatorial interests intersect with her research in Performance Studies, focusing on queer, critical race, and anti-colonial feminisms. Disman is currently completing her M.A. in York University’s Theatre and Performance Studies Program and is Editorial Assistant at the Canadian Theatre Review. She is the curator of LINK & PIN, a performance art series based out of hub14 in Toronto. Disman also sits on the board of directors for The School of Making Thinking, an experimental college and artists’ residency in the Catskills, NY. She is a graduate of The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre (NYC). www.adrianadisman.com

 

*ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: hub14 is not wheelchair accessible (approx. 6 fairly narrow steps going into the space, quite small washroom without lift bar). This is more than regrettable. It sucks. Because of LINK & PIN’s lack of any funding whatsoever, the awarding of this space for free has meant that we need to do what we can with what we have. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if there is something I can do to make this space more accessible for you. I will do everything I can. I am also looking for and open to suggestions of cheap accessible space for future L&Ps.

14. OPEN CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Interferencias

Deadline: August 18, 2014; City: Montreal, Canada; Source: Benjamin Kamino

 

What we are saying could happen …

16 people will come together to make a series of 8 solo works over 2 weeks. 8 of these people share a common history through working together on Interferencias. Through an open call, 8 others will be invited into the fold, selected from the Canadian community; 6 participants will be selected from outside Québec, 2 will be selected from Québec, but this scenario is contingent on the applications received.

 

The prospect of engaging into a process of work with varied degrees of intimacies amongst participants, both with each other and the location, is itself the frame in which research can be made into methodologies of collaboration; practicing being together is ostensibly a practice of being alone; of being oneself. A practice of being public.

 

Structural information about the research performance: In partnership, Interferencias will support the project through production with spaces for working, as well as lunch and dinner. Tangente has applied for a grant to Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec called “Accueil de spectacles étrangers” to cover accommodation and per diem for artists outside from Québec during the project. All participants will share two apartments in North-East of Montreal (TBC). All participants are required to fund their travel to and from Montréal for the work period.

 

The project funds itself through internal revenue. Tangente’s performance fee is invested into the project as support. Revenues collected from ticket sales are allocated to Tangente. In resistance to a culture of scarcity, the project invites you to engage the work through individual practices – using the residency not only to work on the project’s togetherness of the project, but also to engage with personal research and work to benefit your own investment of time and effort. Funds remaining at the end of the project will be distributed as fees to participating artists. The residency runs from February 9 to March 1, 2015. 

 

Tangente will be presenting the work at Théâtre Aux Écuries in Montréal from Wednesday, February 25 through Friday, February 27, 2015, at 7 P.M. and at 9P.M. There is the potential to host an event for Nuit Blanche on Saturday, February 28, 2015.

 

We are declaring no official language of operation for the time of research and would be excited for the difficulties emergent in translation. However, pertaining to the process of selection, English is the most common amongst the 26 Interferencias participants who will be reading applications.

 

Curatorial process: The 8 Canadian participants will be selected through an open call by the current Interferencias group. These 8 participants will be asked to make a selection of 8 participants from the 26 Interferencias members. Benjamin Kamino will be the administrator of the curatorial process. 

 

Application deadline: August 18, 2014

 

Primary application material: talk. listen. listen

Please send a video or link to a video of you. Introduce yourself to us. This video can be of any duration; some of the selection panel may watch all of it in detail, some may browse through it to get a vibe. The main concern for this selection is: will we be able to get along together? That being said, it is not only about complicity. We need conflict as much as we need peace. In fact we need peace more often, but where would we be without the intensity of conflict? I am rambling … Please send a video of yourself, doing and not doing, negotiating that relationship.

 

Secondary application material:

-a C.V.

-a link to online documentation of current/relevant work.

-any other materials that you esteem important to this selection process.

 

Please send your application to interferenciascanada@gmail.com, with written materials in PDF format.

15. WORKSHOP: Performance Practices in Public Space

Deadline date: August 20, 2014; City; Berlin, Germany; Source: Nathalie Fari

 

Performance Practices in Public Space

With Nathalie Fari & Janin Walter at TATWERK 

 

Dates: August 27-31, 2014

Times: 12h - 18h (Total Hours: 30) 

Location: Tatwerk Berlin (Hasenheide 9, Gewerbehof - Aufgang 1, 3. OG  10967 Berlin)

www.tatwerk-berlin.de 

 

Participation Fee: 270,00€ 

10% Discount for students and payment until 15.08.2014 

Maximum Number of Participants: 12

 

In this workshop we want to investigate the current practices and various formats of site specific performances. During five days we want to enable moments of intensity and inquiry by using our everyday life and own body as a material. Therefore, we will explore different areas of Berlin, especially close to Tatwerk in Neukölln and create different forms of narration (scores, stories, or scripts) and action. Our main goal is to reflect and inquire on our understanding of how we can occupy, acquire, use, enliven and interpret a certain space in the city. How can we translate the experiences made in the public space into a performative language or singular action? What are the insights or results of such a kind of artistic production? are central questions for us. This workshop will look at these questions while working on a performance to be presented in public space on the last day.

 

NATHALIE FARI (born 1975 in São Paulo) is performance artist, art educator and yoga teacher. She has been exploring various methods and forms of performance and bodywork for 20 years.

She completed a Master of Arts degree in Space Strategies at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee and is co-organizer of the independent Platform Month of Performance Art Berlin. She lives and works in Brazil and Germany. 

 

JANIN WALTER (born 1972 in Berlin) completed a degree in Architecture at the Technische Universität Berlin with Prof. Kees Christiaanse. 1999-2002 she researched about relevant topics in Urbanism at the Flowlab Studio. 2004-2007 she worked as urban designer in Netherlands and Switzerland.

16. WORKSHOP: Performative Strategies in Contemporary Art

Deadline date: August 20, 2014; City: Berlin, Germany; Source: Andrés Galeano

 

Performative Strategies in Contemporary Art with Andrés Galeano

 

This workshop aims to re-think the basic elements of Performance Art and experiment with performativity in a wider sense and applied to different art practices.

 

In the early 70´s Performance Art language was founded and intensively developed by some pioneers. Nowadays this artistic language has to be conceptually and aesthetically updated, redefined from its pillars and removed from an anachronistic and infertile body.  

 

How to deal with the notions of time, space, presence and action in the digital era? How to do art following a performative paradigm? How to articulate  new artistic languages and formats  that question and mirror more accurately the different issues of our time?

 

This three days intensive workshop is address to artists interested in developing these questions collectively and go through different physical and theoretical exercises in order to approach art from a performative, situational and interdisciplinary perspective.

 

The workshop participants will present their performances to the public as part of the International Performance Festival SURVIVAL - 2014

 

Andrés Galeano was born in Spain in 1980. He holds a Philosophy degree at the Universtiy of Barcelona, a Photography diploma at the Freie Fotoschule Stuttgart and a Sculpture/Free Art degree at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee Berlin. He works with drawing, photography, video, installation and performance and has realized exhibitions and performances in Europe, Latin America and Canada.

17. EXHIBITION: Tempus Fugit (Time Flies) by Jason Lim

Date: August 22-September 5, 2014; City: Singapore; Source: Daniela Beltrani

 

Gajah Gallery

140 Hill Street, Old Hill Street Police Station #01-08

Singapore, 179369

 

Gajah Gallery is proud to present Singaporean artist Jason Lim’s 20-year survey exhibition, curated by Daniela Beltrani. Lim is one of Singapore’s most respected performance artists and a leading contemporary ceramist.

 

The curatorial core of this exhibition hinges on two contemporary areas of focus: the first (Timeline), dynamic by nature, has a purely art historical, non-commercial approach and probes into Lim’s performance art practice from its very beginning to the present time, considering his evolution and offering a meaningful context to the photos exhibited in the second section of the exhibition. The second section (Fine Art Photography) proposes a selection of photographs as unintentional distilled and sublimated moments extrapolated from the artist’s main series of performances in his more recent and mature phase.

 

Artist Talk and Curator’s Tour: Saturday August 23, 2014 from 2:30-4pm

20. EVENT: Survival International Performance Festival 2014

Survival – International Performance Festival 2014

Performances – Interventions in Public Spaces – Workshops – Lab

 

From August 29 to September 6, 2014, under this year’s theme, SURVIVAL, the international Performance Art Festival – a joint project of Open Space Berlin and the B-Lock Festival – is taking place in Berlin for the fourth time. With its unique combination of modules – Workshop, Lab, Interventions in Public Space, and Performances – the festival is one of the most important platforms for performance art in Berlin.

 

The Festival Program presents a bold cross-section of current positions of performance artists and their huge diversity. Radical performers, political actions, and poetic, mystical, and symbolic performances provide richly contrasting insights into the nomadic nature of contemporary performance practice.

ACTING OUT

 

In clinical psychology, “acting out” is considered a defence mechanism—a means of regaining control through a loss of control. Those who act out disrupt the social order through their immanent reshaping of its boundaries. Many contemporary artists working in performance and participatory art focus on magnifying this tenuous line between the socially acceptable and the obscene. However, the institutions that often house and fund these forms of art rely on a continual (if not vestigial) pursuit of disciplinarity, drawing categorical lines between periods, policies, terminologies, etc. 

From the endless taxonomies of display in the museum to the noise ordinance of the rooftop patio, no matter the venue the revolutionary gestures of many politicized artworks are lessened by virtue of happening within or for an institutional body. 

 

Moreover, political artwork often struggles to ‘move’ outside the niche audience or specialized knowledge of the art communities that frequent such institutions. No matter how revolutionary the work may be, it can’t incite discourse or social change if it fails to connect or intervene into a community beyond its own. In light of these perplexities, KAPSULA asks: is it possible for contemporary artists to act outside the institutional framework of the artworld? 

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

-Artists/artworks that manage to circumvent institutions

-The line between intervention and activism

-The complexities of community art

-Ethics in public and large-scale performance

-Questions of ‘commitment’ within art practice

 

Electronic submissions (of final papers and more tentative proposals) will be accepted until September 1, 2014 at submissions@kapsula.ca

Since 2009, Johnny Amore has been taking portraits of artists who are active in the international performance and live art scene. The publication “Performers” contains 58 portraits from the series.

 

The “Performers” publication does not represent a documentation of live performances, but a collection of personalities with an unusual character and specific life styles that are using performance and live art as their main medium. Most of the portraits have been taken immediately after a live performance; the intensity of the moment can be seen on the face of the artist.

 

The publication contains some portrayed artists quotes, which unfold their thoughts on the specifics of performance and live art, in relation to documentation and photography.

 

The foreword is written by Pia Hovi-Assad, exhibition curator at Pori Art Museum.

 

The publication is being published in connection with the exhibition Johnny Amore: Performers 27th Septmber-24th November 2013 at the Pori Art Museum, Finland.
