EVENT: Marilyn Arsem: 100 Ways to Consider Time 100 Ways to Consider Time “Marilyn Arsem: 100 Ways to Consider Time” debuts a new durational performance by the MFA’s 2015 Maud Morgan Prize recipient. Established in 1993 in recognition of the spirit of adventure and independence embodied by noted New England artist Maud Morgan (1903–99), the Prize honors a Massachusetts woman artist who has demonstrated creativity and vision, making significant contributions to the contemporary arts landscape. Arsem (born 1951) is the first performance artist to receive the Prize. She has been a fundamental figure in the field of performance art since the late 1970s, and was a faculty member at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA) for 27 years. Having performed 180 pieces around the world over the last three decades, she has had an enormous impact on multiple generations of performance artists in Boston and internationally. Founder of Mobius, a Boston-area collaborative of interdisciplinary artists, Arsem was central to maintaining the presence of performance art locally and nationally when the art form struggled for recognition and funding. During the exhibition, Arsem will be physically present in Gallery 261 for six hours a day, for 100 days total. Be sure to stop by and see this thought-provoking work of performance art. www.mobius.org +++ 4.

PERFORMANCE ART WORKSHOP: with Victoria Stanton Between Intimacy and Architecture: subtle and relational performance in public place Location: Artscape Youngplace, 180 Shaw Street, Toronto TO REGISTER or for more info: Contact Victoria at info@bankofvictoria.com Description of Workshop Key ideas: The importance in relational/public practices to be able to also activate: Performance Philosophy 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 WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS “Aside from your impressive knowledge of the discipline, which I trusted all along, I was moved by your capacity and willingness to listen deeply to the issues we were all grappling with in our work as participants, and nurturing a safe space for us to re-visit them from a new place.” “I like the workshop structure very much. Masterful. Plus the time and opportunity to integrate and test experiential and discursive realizations/dilemmas.” “As a university professor, I was extremely impressed by Victoria’s finesse and confidence in the room. She is subtle and deft in her ability to guide and shape our conversations without imposing in any way or intervening in the time and space that people need to tell their stories and express their nuanced perspectives. She let things unfold at their own pace and made the workshop collaborative in the best possible way – so that we were all sharing skills and learning from each other almost as much as from her. This workshop has inspired me to introduce similar methods into my teaching, which has produced incredible results.” +++ 6. EVENT: PAO Festival 2015 PAO Festival 2015 Friday 13 November 18:00 - ca 20:30 Opening programme This year, the PAO Festival focuses on Performance Artists from the Nordic Region and is showcasing in Oslo the work of twelve Performance Artists/Collectives from Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. In doing so, the Festival is highlighting the diversity of performative expression in the Nordic Region, but also inquiring into similarities that might stem from geographic location. Although the invited Performance Artists all perform internationally and often deal with universal thematics, we wonder how their work could be connected to Nordic culture and identity? Could certain forms of expression and approach to Performance Art be more specific to artists from the Nordic Region? Artists for live performance programme: Artists talks: Exhibition / Video programme: Extra programme: PAO Festival 2015 is supported by Atelier Nord ANX, Fritt Ord, Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond, Norsk Kulturråd, Kulturkontakt Nord / Mobility Programme, Nordic Culture Fund and Oslo Kommune / Kulturetaten.
