2. FADO sponsors Takahiko Iimura performance at the 8fest (Toronto) Date: January 31, 4PM
Sponsored by FADO Performance Art Centre
Artist Talk + White Calligraphy performance Takahiko Iimura
Saturday January 31, 4PM Trash Palace 89-B Niagara Street, Toronto
info: the8fest@gmail.com
Takahiko Iimura has been a pioneer artist of Japanese experimental film and video, working in film since 1960 and with video since 1970. He has been a link between the North American and Japanese experimental media communities for over forty years, spending time and making work in both New York and Tokyo.
Iimura will discuss his use of small-gauge film and his body of work as a whole after performing White Calligraphy. This piece reworks a film initially made in 1967 by writing/scratching the characters of the “Kojiki”, the oldest story in Japan, directly onto 16mm black leader (now reduced to Super 8). The language flows by at one character per frame. Iimura handholds the Super 8 projector, varying the the speed and angle at will. The result anthropomorphizes the iconographic characters of the story, animating language into a visual dance.

4. EVENT: Zona Pellucida by 2boys.tv Dates: January 9-24, 2009; Source: Buddies in Bad Times
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre presents ZONA PELLUCIDA & THE NEEDLE EXCHANGE An evening in two parts January 9 – 24, 2009
ZONA PELLUCIDA 8PM, THE CHAMBER Created by 2boys.tv Stephen Lawson and Aaron Pollard
Zona Pellucida is the delightfully demented brainchild of Montreal’s 2boys.tv, who wowed audiences of Arthouse Cabaret with their outrageous drag and video performances. Zona combines the disparate elements of Vincenzo Bellini, Tennessee Williams, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and a wild take on blue screen puppet theatre to create a show that incorporates their unique blend of music hall, high drag and stunning video design.
THE NEEDLE EXCHANGE 9PM, THE CABARET Curated and hosted by Dora Mavor Moore Award nominee Keith Cole Different line-up every night
The Needle Exchange is a controversial social policy, based on the philosophy of harm reduction but it is also a 30-minute variety show curated and hosted by Dora Award nominee Keith Cole, whose practice is based on the ancient philosophy of the flamboyant and irreverent. The Needle Exchange features a teasingly healthy dose of music, comedy, magic, politics, art and titillating pointed conversation. The Needle Exchange is where Speed rules and Time is the ultimate enemy. Keith Cole is back with something new and different every single night featuring a line up of stellar Canadian glitterati presented in a sterile, clinical & clean environment for your comfort – but you will be allowed to misbehave (because we know you want to…). The Needle Exchange – the start of something new for 2009!

6. EVENT: The Third Space presents Sandra Johnston Date: January 14-February 6, 2009; Source: Sandra Johnston
Sandra Johnston
the third space 14.01.09 – 06.02.09 the third space is pleased to present an exhibition of new drawings by Sandra Johnston. These drawings are created in a variety of different ways: beginning with road drawings made directly while walking through a familiar landscape, notational and rapid, they interlock the momentum of walking with the attempt to pin down what is observed and then obscured from moment to moment. Another series of drawings were developed at Multyfarnham Monastry during a short residency in the summer of 2008. At the centre of the Monastery building, lies an enclosed garden. Johnston used this contemplative space as a source of visual stimulus which was merged with experiments in breathing and meditation. www.thethirdspacegallery.com

OPA 0.2 International Festival on Performance Art May 15-30, 2009 (Athens, Greece)
OPEN CALL for live performances and papers RE-THINK/RE-USE/RE-MAKE: Proposals and Propositions on Performance Art
ABOUT: OPA 0.2 is a fifteen-day festival featuring an intense program of live performances, films, screenings, lectures, talks and open discussions.
RE-THINK/ RE-USE/RE-MAKE: Proposals and Propositions of Performance Art
RE-THINK/ RE-USE/RE-MAKE invites artists to submit proposals for performances based upon pre-existing art works or performances. These can be re-enactments, recreations, comments or even projects inspired/influenced by work made by others.
Key site of investigation in this year's festival is the critical approach developed by the French curator and art critique Nicolas Bourriaud in his book 'Post-production'. 'Since the early nineties, an even increasing number of artworks have been created on the basis of preexisting works; more and more artists interpret,reproduce, re-exhibit, or use works made by others or available cultural products. The material they manipulate is no longer primary. It is no longer a matter of elaborating a form on the basis of a raw material but working with objects that are already in circulation on the cultural market, which is to say, objects already informed by other objects. Notions of originality and even of creation are slowly blurred in this new cultural landscape' (Bourriaud, 2005:7).
CALL FOR PERFORMANCES: Artists are invited to create a performance based upon pre-existing art works or performances. In order to participate in OPA 0.2 Performance Festival, you have to submit an application containing the following:
1. Short description (no longer than 700 words) of the proposed performance, including the duration of the performance, materials, equipment and space required for the project. 2. Short CV and contact details. 3. Video material with the documentation of previous performances 4. Photographs documenting previous performances are welcomed.
Selected performances will be incorporated in the Festival's Live Performances. Selected video submissions will be screened during the Festival.
Artists invited to the Festival will have their expenses partially covered.
Proposals should be submitted via email opa@bios.gr Or via post BIOS, 84 Piraeus Str, Athens 104 35, Greece
CALL FOR PAPERS: For the 2009 Festival, Bios invites researchers, scholars and artists to submit short papers around the topic of RE-THINK/RE-USE/RE-MAKE.
Applicants should submit: 1. An abstract of approximately 300 words including title. 2. A short CV including contact information
Submissions should be in Microsoft Word and should be submitted via e-mail to opa@bios.gr Selected papers will be included in this year's publication.
Closing date for submissions: February 5, 2009
