1. TO READ: Over the Shoulder by Paul Couillard (article) Date: now; Location: read on the FADO website (link below)
Over the Shoulder by Paul Couillard On Elvira Santamaría’s Everyday life words in progress
Everyday life words in progress was a nine-day, 90-hour performance by Elvira Santamaría, presented in Toronto by FADO from March 16 to 24, 2007. This durational, process-based work was part of IDea, the final series organized by Paul Couillard, FADO’s founder and curator, before the end of his tenure. This recently written article on Elvira Santamaría’s epic performance is now available on the FADO website.
Read Over the Shoulder by Paul Couillard HERE.
“Everyday life words in progress's hybrid, process-oriented structure offers a useful model for considering some basic questions related to performance art methods, dialogues, and audience expectations, particularly around using the artist's body as a "material" in an artwork, and how this can differ from traditional performing arts approaches. Of course Everyday life words in progress is only one artist's project, not a blueprint for all performance art works; one of the beauties of performance art is its variety—the idea that it has not been codified into a rigid set of strategies, approaches, or concerns. If there is something that makes Elvira's work exemplary, it is not to be found in the particular formal choices she made, but in a more general willingness to not simply take for granted any one particular method for shaping time, space, materials and audience relationships.”
ABOUT ELVIRA SANTAMARIA Elvira Santamaría has shown her artwork in festivals, art centres, galleries, museums and public spaces in numerous countries. In 1994, she was awarded first prize at Ex Teresa Arte Actual’s third Festival del Performance. A member of Black Market International performance art group since 2000, she is also the organizer and curator of various performance art events in México and elsewhere.

2. TO WATCH: momentum: Andrea Pagnes in conversation with Frank B Date: now; Location: on-line (video); Source: VestAndPage
Momentum: How to live because of love?
In our third conversation of the momentum series, How to live because of love?, Andrea Pagnes talks with Italian artist Franko B about that which constitutes and springs out of love and hope. The two artists look into the poetic qualities of vulnerability as the source of artistic and personal integrity. They speak about the function of art as a language to place dissent and resistance. They question violence and its artistic symbolism, precisely that one concerning their Italian cultural background, and inquire into the quest for freedom and our failures that accompany it.
WATCH Momentum: How to live because of love? HERE.
ABOUT FRANKO B Franko B makes performances, drawings, installations and sculptures. Since 1979, he lives and works in London. He is Professor of Sculpture at l'Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino, and a visiting lecturer at the Royal College of Art in London. Franko is an artist who doesn't separate life from practice, with his work situated somewhere between isolation and seduction, kind-heartedness and confrontation, suffering and eroticism, punk and poetry. His concern is to make the unbearable bearable and provoke the viewers to reconsider their understanding of beauty and suffering. He uses his body as a metaphor for social struggle, where the personal becomes political and structures his unique poetics. Projecting the confluence of love and pain, Franko B demonstrates that the characteristics and critical events that compose the essentials of human existence can be reformed, that is, the human condition.

too much is not enough June 1: on-line conference June 5 & 6: performances (live & on-line)
Location: Alte Aufzugfabrik Ehrenfeld, Marienstraße 73, 50825 Köln Live stream: www.paersche.org
The PAErsche Action Lab invites and investigates: How do we use things? How much do we really need to survive? What do we have too much of and too little of?
We live in an immeasurable excess and yet do not stop hoarding things around us. With found objects that furnish homes, performance artists get to the bottom of things in solo/duo performances and animate a discourse on the use and consumption of resources. To kick off the too much is not enough event, the PAErsche Action Lab and guests will discuss the universe of things and their handling in an online conversation on June 1. Performances will be streamed on June 5 & 6.

Work and Working Through, a sympoesis
Date: Saturday, 26 June, 2021 Time: 2:00pm–5:30pm (BST) Location: on-line (zoom)
To register: EVENTBRITE LINK
Participants: Dave Beech Shannon Cochrane Francesco Gagliardi Laura F. Gibellini Keith Harrison Robert Luzar Sean Pearce Victoria Stanton Bojana Videkanic
Work and Working Through is an online sympoesis, which uses creative processes and dialogues around issues of labour, precarity, art, and forms of life beyond exploitative work. Sympoesis is a form that was first proposed in the online event On Edge: Materials and Bodies (2020), by the Material/Performing research group at Bath Spa Univeristy. Work and Working Through continues to explore sympoesis by encouraging alternative modes of symposium where a series of actions, interventions, performances and performative dialogues are taking place. Work and Working Through will bring together nine international artists, writers, and practitioners: Laura F. Gibellini, Dave Beech, Victoria Stanton, Bojana Videkanic, Robert Luzar, Keith Harrison and Sean Pearce. And from FADO Performance Art Centre, Shannon Cochrane and Francesco Gagliardi. The contributors will present actions, interventions, talks and in-conversations towards opening dialogues around work as labour, time, sustainable forms of co-existence or ‘well-being’, care, rest, resistance, daily life and meaningful creativity. In some cases, this includes ‘doing nothing’, or varying degrees of doing less, the inoperative, or unworking. A sympoesis, Work and Working Through will further explore ‘therapeutic’ processes that echo the psychoanalytic event of working through. Working through will be considered around a common struggle toward transforming and overcoming behaviours that entangle life with self-exploitative and precarious work. Growing social inequality is one of the main contexts for this struggle. Experienced daily, lived in common. Before, during and most likely after the Covid 19 pandemic. Working through this common struggle therefore means challenging exploitative and alienating modes of production (hyper-activity, automation, work 24/7) and radical consumption (self-improvement, optimization, constant movement).

10. EVENT: ON AURA au mieux les uns, les unes et tous les autres Date: until June 27, 2021; Location: on-line (website) & Montréal, Canada; Source: Facebook
ON AURA au mieux les uns, les unes et tous les autres May 31–June 27 Montréal, Canada
Bringing together 20 artists from various disciplines, generations and identities, "ON AURA au mieux les uns, les unes et tous les autres" is a site-specific exhibition project that explores the potential of contextual and collective creation. In turn, each one of the artists takes ownership of the exhibition in making and can freely modify the works and traces created by the interventions of their peers. Lasting 20 days, it is an exhibition in motion that favors a collective and unpredictable aesthetic, and whose final result is unknown to all. Each artist will have access to the space during 24 hours in order to realize their interventions.
In this time of pandemic, housing crisis and the relative inaccessibility of artists' studios, the ad hoc collective ON chose to depart from the initial gallery experience proposed at GHAM & DAFE in 2019, and instead occupy a space that is sensitive to the current context of creation and dissemination for many artists: The apartment. Previously a rooming house for local laboUrers, the apartment being occupied has a fascinating history.
ARTISTS Stéphanie Auger Christian Bujold Rose de la Riva Guillaume Desrosiers-Lépine Doyon/Demers Stanley Février Anne Florentiny Marie-Claude Gendron Katherine-Josée Gervais Michelle Lacombe Mathieu Lacroix Marion Lessard Hugo Nadeau Diyar Mayil François Rioux Mona Sharma Éric Simon Florencia Sosa Rey Li Zhu Sonja Zlatanova
Open to the public on Sundays: June 6, 13, 20 and 27, from 12pm–5pm Reservation by email: on.visite.le.dimanche@gmail.com

12. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Performance Research Vol. 27, No. 3: ‘On Solidarity’ (May 2022) Deadline date: July 14, 2021; Location: the world; Source: Performance Research Among activist practices that seek social, political, economic or environmental change, the arts increasingly play a considerable role by crossing into areas of civic engagement, with artists seeking to enact solidarity through their work (Lichtenfels and Rouse, 2013). The COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, having amplified social division, present a pivotal moment to investigate the nature of solidarity in performance and its agency in contemporary life.
Please read the full call for submission proposal here: http://www.performance-research.org/editorial-callsforsubmissions.php
The aim of this special issue of Performance Research is to trace and critically reflect on practices of solidarity that emerge from and relate to the field of performance practice, exploring the ways that performance can intervene in or engage with civic action. We are particularly interested in interrogating how solidarity practices in performance participate in the construction of social justice arguments. We invite contributions that consider the role and potential of solidarity as a relational quality to interrogate social relationships in performance and address the following questions: What creative methods and modes of solidarity practices are actioned in and through performance practice? Can performance practice offer specific models for organising solidarity to wider civil society? What forms of solidarity are practised in and through contemporary performance and what social justice arguments do they make? What are the challenges faced by a contemporary performance sector that is concerned with exercising solidarity, as well as in need of solidarity? What historical examples of solidarity practices in and through performance bear contemporary relevance? Contributors may wish to draw on the following list of topics as a source of inspiration, although the list is not intended to be exhaustive or restrictive: Diverse approaches to practising solidarity and performance Solidarity and allyship Solidarity and self-organization Antagonism, dissent, indifference Participatory performance, ethics and hierarchical relations Solidarity, activism and the body (embodied democracy) Solidarity economy and dominating capitalist currencies in performance Migration and the potential to reconfigure solidarity Privileges and resistances Networks of solidarity between different social contexts Solidarity and education Performing solidarity during and after COVID-19 Expressions of solidarity for the arts and performance in critical times Solidarity justice
We are interested in a range of approaches to the topic that foreground the intersection of practice and research, including artists’ contributions that combine words and images, as well as more conventional articles. In particular, we welcome submissions that share perspectives from people from Global Majority backgrounds, disabled and LGBTQ2+ people
Schedule: Proposals: 14 July 2021 First drafts: 15 October 2021 Final drafts: January 2022 Publication: May 2022 Issue Contacts:
