1. OPEN CALL: CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY "Dissenting Bodies Marking Time" Deadline date: December 7, 2019; City: Venice, Italy; Source: Venice Performance Art Week
Open Call for Artists A project of the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY "Dissenting Bodies Marking Time" European Cultural Centre | Palazzo Mora & Palazzo Michiel, Venice, Italy
January 8–18, 2020 Open to the public on the days January 15–18, 2020
Applications are now accepted on a rolling basis until December 7, 2019. Since applications are processed as they come in, available spots can fill up quickly.
Founded on the principles of artistic collaboration, cooperation and temporary artistic community, the CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY is born to be an artistic experience of a different kind: the concept developed out of the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK’s core mission and its Educational Learning Program. The aim is to empower participating international artists who are selected through an Open Call, to articulate and develop their individual praxis within an independent temporary autonomous zone of co-creation under the tuition of established performance artists.
The project is intended for those artists, performers, visionary poets, who wish to articulate and refine their skills, expand their practice, exploring new ideas and approaches, allowing their work to become more fully realized. It offers a rare opportunity to explore new territories of performance in an extended, intensive period of time outside of an academic setting. It is both a learning path and a unique occasion to work and collaborate together in the ART WEEK venue Palazzo Mora in Venice while strengthening the creative talent and intellectual freedom of each participant.
TUTORS: Marilyn Arsem, VestAndPage, Andrigo&Aliprandi GUEST ARTISTS: Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Kira O'Reilly, Pyotr Pavlensky (Film screening) CO-TUTORS: Fenia Kotsopoulou, Marcel Sparmann LECTURERS: Francesco Kiàis, Joseph Morgan Schofield

2. EVENT: Kempelen's Breath by VOR Date: December 10, 2019; City: Ottawa, Canada; Source: Knot
Kempelen's Breath VOR [performance]
Tuesday, December 10, 2019 7PM | Courtroom Arts Court | 2 Daly Avenue, Ottawa Canada
Knot Project Space, with support from Arts Court Theatre, is proud to present a performance and related workshop by Winnipeg-based artist Andrea Roberts, who performs under the name VOR. Situated within an empty wood-paneled Courtroom in the Arts Court, VOR will present an iteration of their sound performance Kempelen’s Breath. This voice-over driven work draws from personality-based statements that make up the back end of Cambridge Analytica's OCEAN algorithm. The work's title comes from Wolfgang Von Kempelen, the inventor of the first speaking machine who also created one of the first automatons.
This will be the first presentation in a short series of events and workshops being coordinated by Knot Project Space in the Courtroom from December 10–12 to conclude its programming year, each reflecting through performance on the gravities of vocal utterance, the laws of language, and the language of law.

3. EVENT: DOCUMENTS by Autumn Knight (USA) Date: December 12, 2019; City: Ottawa, Canada; Source: Nicole Burisch
DOCUMENTS Autumn Knight [performance]
Thursday, December 12th, 2019 8PM | Courtroom Arts Court, 2 Daly Avenue, Ottawa Canada
FREE | Reception in Club SAW to follow Co-curated by Nicole Burisch + Neven Lochhead
Knot Project Space, presented in collaboration with SAW Gallery and Arts Court Theatre, is thrilled to host a performance by New York-based artist Autumn Knight to conclude its 2019 programming year. Situated within an empty wood-paneled Courtroom in the Arts Court, this iteration of Knight’s speech-driven performance work, Documents, will respond to the weight and force of this former space of legal proceedings. Knight’s presentation will be the third and final action in a short series of events and workshops being coordinated by Knot Project Space in the Courtroom from December 10–12, each reflecting through performance on the gravities of vocal utterance, the laws of language, and the language of law.
DOCUMENTS Documents uses dialogue, gesture and the voice of both the artist and the audience to uncover and critique structures of power. Troubling the division of labour between the performer and the audience, Documents involves a public reading of the documentation that serves to authenticate or legitimize citizenship. Central to this work is a filing cabinet that both holds the props required for the performance, while also serving as a portrait or trace of the artist. The interactive reading of the documents in the files addresses the embodied specificities of race, class, gender, sexuality to contest whether these categories accurately reflect the bodies they are meant to represent—while underlining how different audiences and relationships to power may influence this reading.
AUTUMN KNIGHT Autumn Knight is an interdisciplinary artist working with performance, installation, video and text. Her performance work has been on view at various institutions including Krannert Art Museum (IL), The Institute for Contemporary Art (VCU), Human Resources Los Angeles (HRLA) and Akademie der Kunste, (Berlin). Her performance and video work is held in the permanent collection of the Studio Museum in Harlem. Knight participated in the 2019 Whitney Biennial as a performance and video artist.

Silent Dinner Shannon Cochrane [performance]
December 14, 2019 Performance: 12–7:00pm (Q&A to follow at 7:00pm)

OPTICA, centre d'art contemporain 5445 avenue de Gaspé, espace 106, Montreal Canada
Silent Dinner is collectively created by: Martin Bélanger ShannonCochrane Sylvain Gélinas Mathew Kuntz Mathieu Lacroix Lamathilde kimura byol-nathalie lemoine Jennifer Manning Marie-Pierre Petit Hodan Youssouf
Vocabulary is to language as ingredients are to a recipe: how to cook a silent dinner
For Silent Dinner, the gallery is transformed into a working kitchen. Over the course of seven hours, a group of people prepare, cook and eat a meal together. Throughout the performance, each one is engaged in the task of resisting their languages of origin. Here, in the space of the performance, language is intentionally de-prioritized as a strategy to make visible communication and negotiation as an embodied practice. Our dinner table becomes the meeting place for the intersection of culture and language (hearing and Deaf culture, English and French, ASL and LSQ) and the invitation is to sit, however uneasily, with the tensions between them.
As a group, we are a mix of artists, performers, actors, filmmakers, magicians, artist-run culture geeks, curators, archivists, organizers, event planners, teachers, activists, queers, feminists, moms, all-gendered, no gender, refugees, immigrants, settlers, English, French, hearing and Deaf. Nine Montrealers and a Torontoian.
Interpreters: Martin Boucher (ASL/LSQ, TraduSigne) Jordan Mark Goldman (ASL) Stéphanie Lamy-Therrien (ASL/LSQ, TraduSigne) Mathieu Larivière (ASL/LSQ, TraduSigne) Lina Ouellet (LSQ, SIVET) Sandra Saoumaa (ASL)
OPTICA has received the support of Conseil des arts de Montréal, the Fondation des Sourds du Québec and would like to thank intern Dominique Robb and the Vidéographe center.

6. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: ANTI Festival 2020 'Food' Deadline date: December 19, 2019; City: Kuopio, Finland; Source: ANTI
For our 2020 festival ANTI is thrilled to announce partnership with Kuopio Region of Gastronomy, coordinated by ProAgria Eastern Finland and Savonia University.
The 19th edition of ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival will take place between 8th and 13th September 2020 in Kuopio, Finland. We now invite artists, working in any field, to propose projects that directly engage with the theme of food. The 2020 edition of ANTI Festival celebrates Kuopio’s winning nomination as the European Region of Gastronomy 2020.
Artistic Directors Gregg Whelan and Johanna Tuukkanen write, "Food sits at the heart of human civilization. It touches the intensely personal, the national, and the global with equal emphasis. Is there an industry, a field, an activity, a substance with more political, social and economic importance than food? Eating together civilizes us and yet the production of food and its impact on the world’s resources is rapidly endangering the continuation of human life. Every meal we eat is arguably a part of this discourse and yet without difficulty, and with genuine joy, we are able to attribute deep pleasure, sensorial delight and an abundance of feelings of wellbeing, happiness and belonging to the food we surround ourselves with. Food touches every part of our lives, it speaks to sensuality, sexuality, gender, race, class; it forms the background and the foreground to our days, it nourishes and sustains. Food is, as it always has been, a joyful and complex reminder of our place in this world."
Submitting a Proposal for ANTI Festival 2020 When proposing a project to ANTI Festival please make sure your work responds to the festival’s focus on public space (including interior and privately owned spaces). We do not show projects in traditional cultural spaces (galleries, theatres etc.) so your proposed project will need to have an integral relationship with the place in which it is presented and your proposal will need to outline where your work could be located.
The proposal form allows a link to be made to online documentation of previous work and for applicants to attach a CV and a maximum of three supporting images. Proposals that do not strictly conform to these guidelines will not be considered.
We strongly advise you spend some time getting to know ANTI Festival before making an application, our Vimeo page is a great place to get a sense of past editions of the festival. The proposal deadline for all proposals is 19.12.2019 (midnight Finnish time).
Areas that your project may respond to may include one or more of the following (this list is by no means exhaustive):

Luminous Bodies is a two-week residency to create artworks that shed new light on the human body. Its goal is to reinvent and re-present the body in most inclusive and diverse ways. Resident artist talks, gallery tours, visual and textual references, guest artist talks, and regular critiques (individual with Facilitator and group critiques) help uncover how our bodies are culturally and aesthetically constructed, displayed and controlled. Residents work individually or collaboratively to create artworks that reinvent the body through media of their choice, such as photography, video, installation, drawing, painting, performance, installation, sound, movement, media art, etc. There will be a closing exhibition of artworks created during the residency (if preferred, artists may show in open studio fashion). The essence of Luminous Bodies is about bringing to light heterogeneous bodies. It welcomes people in all walks of life into a creative journey of critical innovation and self-discovery. People with disabilities, people of colour and diverse gender identifications are encouraged to apply.
Artscape Gibraltar Point is an artist retreat nestled against the magnificent natural backdrop of Toronto Island. It offers a distraction-free environment to focus on art creation, and a rich potential for the creation of corporeal artworks amongst its blue-flag beaches (one of them being clothing optional) and natural surroundings of Lake Ontario, forests and gardens filled with flowers, fruit and vegetables. On the island, there are tiny quaint homes, a historic lighthouse, a hobby farm and antique carnival grounds. Cozy up in a furnished studio and bedroom (private or shared), and enjoy amenities such as a fully equipped common kitchen, shared bathrooms, laundry facilities and wireless Internet. AGP is a barrier free and inclusive environment. The Toronto city core is just a 15-minute ferry ride away.
