1:1 Psychomagic Mentorships with Guillermo Gómez-Peña!

Mediated by Balitrónica

 

GOMEZ-PEÑA:

"Yes, I’m willing to zoom coño! In these times of radical sensory social deprivation, financial strain, and forced house arrest, my friends suggest I become an online art/life coach! I don’t know how to be one–I haven’t seen Oprah Winfrey or Doctor Phil–but I think I can be a decent intellectual geisha, virtual bartender, (ex)deviant catholic confessor or even a Liberation psychiatrist on steroids. I can ask the right questions regarding artistic reinvention and how it can help us radical rebels outlive the current crisis, engage in radical listening and radical tenderness and online performance activism, and finally I can offer some humble suggestions and feedback for your work and life. m 66 and willing to give it a try and to be the next Walter Mercado! Que podemos perder? Besides, you get an extra benefit. The presence and wisdom of lovely Balitronica!

 

BOOKING NOW for March 2022

 

Sessions include topics such as artistic mentorship and radical psychomagic life coaching. Sessions are $55-$75 sliding scale for 30 minutes or $100-$150 for 1 hour. Sessions are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays (but we are willing to accommodate you on another day if need be). This is something GP has always wanted to do but has never had enough time off from touring (now we aren't touring for obvious reasons) so he's excited to finally fulfill this one-on-one dream! We look forward to making magic with you.

Date: March 11–27, 2022Location: Stockholm, Sweden; Source: gustaf broms

 

ANIMA MUNDI – requiem for a vanishing

a 4-channel video installation and performance by gustaf broms

 

BENHUSET (The Bone House), Stockholm

March 11–27, 2022

12:00–20:00 daily

 

“Being in a time and place, where identification with the thin membrane of skin, as container of self, is slowly dissolving, as borders between beings evaporate, the environment disintegrates into a myriad of sentient beings.”

~gustaf broms

 

The project ANIMA MUNDI grew out of a series of actions in the forest in Vendel, Sweden. These meetings of organic bodies create a dialogue between species that weaves a story without words. These filmed interactions become the material for a 4-channel video in a room somewhere between installation, sound, performance and video, in which the artist makes an 18-day action as a dialogue with moving image.

 

The working title ANIMA MUNDI usually translates as ‘world soul.’ In Timaeus, Plato wrote “Therefore, we may consequently state that: this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence......a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related.”

 

BENHUSET translates as ‘bone house,’ built in early 1700s at the far end of the cemetery at Katarina church. Originally bones were kept from people not allowed in the consecrated ground (murderers, un-baptized). During the plague years, bones stacked up, thereof the name. The building was closed in 1870, the re-opened in 2016 for cultural events.

 

BENHUSET (The Bone House)

The bone house is located on the south side of Katarina cemetery in Stockholm Sweden and is a meeting place for art, theater, devotion, music and reflection in the vicinity of the dead.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

eduardo cardoso amato (BR)
the ritual of things

 

I am interested in the perspective of performance art as ritual and the correspondence between art and life. Here and now, I seek to recognize issues related to tradition coupling real and non-hermeneutic actions that integrate to allow full manifestation of a state of directed consciousness with subtle and unpredictable impact and creating unique spaces for connections. My work combines ethno-cultural structures, oral traditions, archetypes of art history, literature, and mysticism. A directed awareness to expand positive traits and overcome negative traits in internal and external transformation through performance art.

 

Renata (BR/UK)
Botas, fuzis e capacetes—A ritual to the nothing

In my performances, my methods and processes are primarily material-based—meaning they sprout from inanimate objects which are then activated through their ritualistic use by my body. It then proceeds to have a relationship with the landscape and the people within it—the space and the bodies directing/neglecting their attention to my actions/performing other actions. The audience’s universe is not mine—the religion I practice is nonexistent. My rituals, although passive and fleeting, open a new path for experience and participation in artwork/space—they carry the weight of professed holiness and seek to manipulate and disturb the atmosphere in a way the audience feels as if it's witnessing something supernatural. Rituals that mean everything but mean nothing—empty symbols, vacant memories. Images that cease to exist because they are swept away by time.

10. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: PSi Artistic Research Working Group 2022

Deadline date: April 1, 2022; Location: the world; Source: PSi

 

Performance Studies international (PSi) Artistic Research Working Group 2022

 

PSi Artistic Research Working Group Convenors:

Annette Arlander

Bruce Barton

Johanna Householder

 

The Performance Studies international (PSi) Artistic Research Working Group welcomes proposals for its online gathering at PSi #27: Hunger. The annual conference takes place 6-9 July 2022, and the Artistic Research Working Group (ARWG) will convene over two days, 6-7 July 2022.

 

The primary focus of PSi #27 is corporeal hunger—the literal deprivation of food and nourishment. However, the conference theme also recognizes a range of emotional and psychological manifestations of hunger, and the ARWG is particularly aware of the desire for physical contact and embodied sharing experienced over two years of a global pandemic. In response, we have been exploring the potential for meaningful interconnection in virtual exchange. In 2022, our experimentation with possible forms and rhythms of online collaboration will take the following form.

 

We invite proposals related to a current, recent or envisioned artistic research project, to be submitted by 1 April 2022. Selected participants will be invited to submit a more detailed project description accompanied by links to online support materials (video, audio, photos, text, etc.), and to make a brief presentation on this work during the first day of our gathering.

 

Each participant will also be paired with one other working group member to create a collaborative response to one of the projects presented on day one. These ‘response conversations,’ which will occur on day two of our meeting, can take many forms. They may be either fully prepared and rehearsed or informal and impromptu, depending on the collaborators’ interest and capacity. In this manner, we hope to both showcase our community’s activities and foster generous, spontaneous and animated exchange in a format that can be modified to fit all participants’ circumstances.

 

Schedule:

April 1: send a 250–300 word proposal to arwgPSi@gmail.com

May 15: Full submissions due

June 2: Notification of ‘response conversation’ pairing distributed

11. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Franklin Furnace Fund

Deadline April 1, 2022; Location: New York City, USA; Source: Franklin Furnace

 

Initiated in 1985 with the support of Jerome Foundation, Franklin Furnace annually awards grants to early career artists selected by peer panel review to enable them to produce major performance art works in New York City.

 

In the spring of 2008, Franklin Furnace combined the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art and The Future of the Present into one program, entitled the Franklin Furnace Fund. Franklin Furnace made the decision to combine these programs because during the past decades, artists have created temporal works on every point of the spectrum between the body of the artist and the circulatory network of the Internet.

 

The Franklin Furnace Fund is supported by Jerome Foundation and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Fund grants range between $2,000 and $10,000 based on the peer review panel allocation of funding received by Franklin Furnace. Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; however, artists selected by the panel are expected to present their work in New York City. Full-time students are ineligible.

 

Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. Every year the panel changes, as do the definitions of “early career artist” and “performance art.” So, if at first you don’t succeed, please try again.

 

Since 1985, the Fund has helped launch the careers of Jo Andres, Tanya Barfield, Jibz Cameron aka Dynasty Handbag, Lenora Champagne, Patty Chang, Papo Colo, Brody Condon, Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles, Ayana Evans, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Coco Fusco, Kate Gilmore, Pablo Helguera, Donna Henes, Murray Hill, Holly Hughes, Liz Magic Laser, Shaun Leonardo, Taylor Mac, Robbie McCauley, Jennifer Miller, Naeem Mohaiemen, Rashaad Newsome, Clifford Owens, Pope.L, Dread Scott, Pamela Sneed, Fiona Templeton and Diane Torr, among other Franklin Furnace Fund recipients.

We work and live here in the spirit of the traditional treaty—the Dish with One Spoon treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee—that binds and protects the land.
