EXCLUSIVE 2 FOR 1 OFFER TO FADO E-SUBSCRIBERS 

 

Experience Tanya Mars’ latest performance installation, her first since winning the 2008 Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts, for just $5.

 

Tanya Mars - Six Images in Search of an Artist: Remix

FREE FALL 10

Presented by The Theatre Centre

In partnership with Harbourfront Centre’s World Stage

 

Mars’ new work explores and exploits the senses, as influenced by the images in the French medieval tapestry Tenture de la Dame à la Licorne:  taste, touch, sight, hearing, smell and “à mon seul désir” as the sixth sense. 

 

During the 14-hour performance installation a series of beautiful, allegorical tableaux will grapple with some weighty, perhaps unanswerable, philosophical questions about the nature of truth and reality. Is what we see, hear, smell, touch, taste real? Or is what we think is real/true an illusion? How does intuition affect our perceptions of truth and reality? Can ‘the heart’ triumph?

 

Thursday 18 – Friday 19 March from 3 - 10pm

(patrons can drop in and out at any point throughout the performance) 

Venue: The Theatre Centre, 1087 Queen Street West

www.theatrecentre.org 

Ticket Offer: 2 tickets for just $10. 

To Book: call The Theatre Centre box office 416 538 0988 and quote ‘Fado offer’

About project: Performance “Process” illustrate the nature of the human experience. Suggested material from nature and Nenad’s images of himself from different periods of his life now presented a clear, simple yet powerful message, one that when united tells us of the process of life. It mirrors the process of nature, consisting of maturing and change, nurtured by the steady rhythm of the breath and perpetual drip, that ran it’s course.

In Bogdanovic lecture will be presented his video work entitled ''Serbian Performance - Selection Ten'' which will present a selection of current art scene in Serbia.
In his work Bogdanovic says the following: “Contemporary art scene in Serbia can be divided in several groups. These are: a group of artists that were pioneers of performance in Serbia and abroad, a group of artists that followed their goal and affirmed visual performance leaving the trail on contemporary art scene of Serbia and Mid-Europe, and a group of younger artists that shape projects of high quality on the legacy of earlier generations and tighten the position of performance art in Serbia.”

3. EVENT: FEM_10 : International Performance Festival of Women

Dates: March 4-8, 2010; Source: e-artnow.org

 

SORRY, THIS EVENT IS ALREADY OVER, BUT IT IS GOOD INFO:

 

The cultural affiliation Gresol organizes for the seventh year in a row the International performance art/live art festival showcasing the work of women, the only festival in Spain since it assembles performers of the whole world. One year more, the festival will take place in the Cultural Centre Mercè de Girona under the title FEM_10 from March 4 until March 8. In parallel with the actions, an International Seminar will be celebrated on performance with the participation of recognized teachers and critiques of art that will take place in Facultat de Lletres of the UdG.

 

For the first time, the festival will take the live art to the street, with the intention of bringing this art not known to the whole world over, with performances of the artists taking part in the Rambla of Girona. As every year, there appears a day of workshops directed by the artists for students of centers of artistic education and young artists and a free workshop for all the public ones. During the festival, also it will be possible to see a sample of projections and photography transferred by other festivals of live art with which FEM collaborates.

 

From the reflections and the debate to the past edition on the art of action, there has been created ELAC (Europaean Live Art Center), a center of archive and investigation of the performance with head office in Girona, the first one of these characteristics in Spain. The whole visual and written material that is gathered from the FEM will be a part of this archive. The target is to gather information about the live art and to document her for the investigation and the teaching.

 

In this edition, FEM_10 has the target to produce a homage to the women artists who have centred his life on the creativity and, at the same time, to give space to young artists representatives of the new generations of the art of action. For this motive, this edition of the festival will devote itself to a generation of artists who have been fundamental for the development of the live art on a global scale. The festival will investigate the idea of the transmission of the knowledge between generations.

 

For this motive, recognized artists have been invited and with a big trajectory in the world of the art as Esther Ferrer (Donosti, 1937), Despina Olbrich-Marianou (Greece, 1945), Concha Jerez (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1941), Myriam Bat-Yosef (Germany, 1931) and Eugenie Kuffler (Baltimore/EE.UU., 1949). Bat-Yosef and Kuffler repeat expressly for the FEM a performance that they realized together in the year 1982. Also, it will be the first performance of Bat-Yosef in 20 years.

 

Opposite to the experience, at the FEM_10 also new artists will be present but with a big projection, as Alba Blanco (Vigo, 1981), Christine Haase (Berlin, 1981), Holly Slingsby (Oxford, 1983) and Pa'Ma Torrents (Lleida, 1984).

 

PROGRAM

March 4: Performance by Concha Jerez (in Facultat de Lletres of University of Girona) 

March 4: Conference with Tracey Warr (in Facultat de Lletres of University of Girona) 

March 5: Conference of Alice Laagay and Blanca de la Torre (in University of Girona)

Dear friends, collegues and performance afficionados,

We want to point out to you four exciting events that will take place here within the next few days. And express our amazement at this tidal wave of fresh curators, artists and venues in town. Their common Iberian lineage is probably a coincidence, or is it?

On the same day TAMTAMTAM 8 Performance event, organized by PLAYBerlin is taking place at Uferhallen. See the grat programm at http://playberlin.com/

8. EVENT: Culture Congress (Toronto)

Dates: March 24-28, 2010; Source: Harbourfront Centre

 

Artists exchanging ideas, skills and information.

 

In conjunction with Free Fall '10, Toronto's Harbourfront Centre and The Theatre Centre host this year's Culture Congress, an event bringing together practitioners from local, national and international arts communities for an exchange of practical skills, information sharing and ideas.

 

In 2010, The Culture Congress will explore how we come together as artist to artist, artist to presenter and artist to audience while examining the topics of mentorship, the Canadian presenting ecology and the building of community. The event takes place over four days through a series of talks, roundtable discussions and social gatherings taking place in venues across the city.

 

In addition to a select few national curators, we are also hosting a selection of presenters from a specific country to build an invested relationship with the programmers and curators from that particular area. As an extension of our Irish focus in this year's World Stage season, we are inviting Ireland-based presenters with great perspectives on trends developing in their local artistic communities and the world over. This initiative will help cultivate lasting relationships between Irish presenters, Canadian presenters and Canadian artists, while allowing local and national participants to learn more about the concerns, climate and interests that drive performance creators and presenters in Ireland.

 

A special initiative involving country-wide participation, we will begin an investigation into the Canadian presenting ecology – examining how this could/should change to respond to the development of contemporary performance and interdisciplinary practice, among others. Participants are invited to contribute to an online mapping project that will begin this dialogue.

12. CALL FOR PAPERS: Performance Research ON TRAUMA
Deadline dates: see below; Source: Performance Research

 

Volume 16, No. 1 (March 2011) 'On Trauma'
Issue Editors: Mick Wallis and Patrick Duggan

CALL FOR PAPERS

On Trauma
The idea of trauma has become so used in the public sphere as to become almost meaningless in its ubiquity. But this is also to say that we live in an historical moment in which society feels bound to its traumatic experiences. Trauma has become a cultural trope. Just as Raymond Williams explored the possibility of modern tragedy in a dramatised society, we might ask about the artistic figuring of trauma in a traumatised culture. And where Williams identified a contrast between the evacuation of a mass circulation headline and the intensities of loss in everyday life, we might now find a more direct coupling - as did Jameson for instance in his relating the evacuations of postmodern culture to the subjective death of universal anomie.
 
In this same cultural moment, Western academic, artistic, journalistic, psychiatric, psychoanalytic and cultural discourses, in particular, have become increasingly engaged in analysis of traumata and people’s experience of them. The relatively recent rise in academic interest has galvanised trauma as a frame through which to examine cultural issues of experience, memory, the body, and representation – especially in the fields of history, literature, cultural studies and fine art. But the history and genealogy of modern trauma theory, including the psycho-medical, is littered with narratives and examples which might productively be considered as performative.
 
Schism has been figured as the foundation both of dramatic narrative and of performance as representation – from Aristotle to Turner, Artaud/Derrida and Phelan. And trauma theory suggests a performative bent in traumatic suffering itself – the trauma-symptom is, after all, a rehearsal, re-presentation, re-performance of the trauma-event. This is not to trivialise traumatic suffering or to detract from the insistence that trauma narratives must be adequately, truthfully, borne witness to so as not to diminish the importance/weight of the original event. Instead, we wish to suggest that trauma theory might be a productive means of exploring performance – and vice versa.
 
Following the publication of some recent scholarly works in roughly cognate areas, notably Roger Luckhurst’s The Trauma Question (2008) and Christina Wald’s Hysteria, Trauma and Melancholia (2007), this issue of Performance Research interrogates trauma theory and ‘the traumatic’ as both a productive means of thinking about performance experiences and as a potentially potent creative force.
 
The Issue Editors invite contributions that might address, but need not be limited to, any or all of the following areas:
 
-trauma as performative intervention
-ethical/ pedagogical issues in addressing trauma through performance
-performing memories / historical re-enactment
-performative histories of trauma
-trauma, embodiment, performance and the subject
-witnessing trauma
-trauma and alterity
-trauma as/and creative processes
-‘post-dramatic’ performance and the collapse of narrative
-trauma-effects - trauma performances and audience witnessing
-open and re-opening wounds
-trauma as guarantee
-performance and trauma therapy
 
'On Trauma’  invites artists, practitioners and theorists to submit proposals for critical articles, documents, interviews, artist's pages or other forms of contribution which position notions of trauma in relation to the contexts and discourses of contemporary culture, and to expanded and open concepts of performance, performance-making and artwork.

Deadlines for the issue are as follows:
Proposals: 20 April 2010
Draft manuscripts: 5 July 2010
Publication Date: March 2011

ALL proposals, submissions and general enquiries should be sent direct to:
Sandra Laureri
Administrator- Performance Research
Centre for Performance Research (CPR)
The Foundry

Web:  www.performance-research.net

Issue-related enquiries should be directed to the issue editors:
Mick Wallis: pcumw@leeds.ac.uk
Patrick Duggan: Patrick.Duggan@northampton.ac.uk

General Guidelines for Submissions
Proposals will be accepted by e-mail (MS-Word or RTF). Proposals should not exceed one A4 side.  Please DO NOT send images electronically without prior agreement.

Please note that submission of a proposal will be taken to imply that it presents original, unpublished work not under consideration for publication elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the author(s) agree that the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article have been given to Performance Research.

Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT)
WINTER 2010 FILM AND DIGITAL WORKSHOPS
www.LIFT.on.ca

Registration CONTINUES at our new facility located at 1137 Dupont Street (at Gladstone Avenue) in Toronto.


This season workshops include:
FILM AND VIDEO INSTALLATION DESIGN: Interface Interference (April 18)
This workshop will survey the critical impulse proposed by the moving image installation's occupation of space, rather than time, and in doing so will also unpack strategies of space in expanded cinema and single-screen films. Moving beyond the deployment of film and video installation as a genre trope which forsakes temporality in order to serve a mobile viewership, we will not ask how artists can occupy and access exhibitions sites, but rather, how a reshaping of those same sites can emerge from the projects proposed by the workshop participants.

15. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Within This Body
Deadline date: May 15, 2010; Source: Mariam Magsi

 

Within This Body

Curated by Mariam Magsi and Faye Mullen

Call for submission for an exhibition of Performance Art at the Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts. PCVA is an artists' cooperative Gallery in existence since 1996, showcasing the work of senior and emerging artists featuring a wide range of traditional and contemporary art.

Much like naturally inclined elements, the human body is a carcass of memories, vices and virtues. Through structural processes that often push boundaries and test endurance, the human body, time and time again, transcends experiences of hurt and agony and transforms them into opportunities for new awareness and self actualization. Similar to other natural forms, the body repairs itself both internally and outwardly through restoration that may appear to test the limitations of the body, hinging on direct endurance systems that have evolved alongside human development. The human entity is known to be a great threshold for resilience, being able to revitalize the experience of pain into scars that hold substantial significance over the person's soul. It is with this constant recycling of pain and pleasure that humanity moves forward, vigorous as ever in its quest to understand human nature. An inherent part of this process is the creation of visible and/or invisible scars. Manifestations of stress on the human body can take many different shapes and forms, physical and spiritual or psychological; however, it is through the body's constant recycling of the negative into the positive, that we gain insight into the agony and the ecstasy of all that is human. 

In accordance with the theme of recycled pain, The Propeller Centre For The Visual Arts invites submissions and proposals from local & international artists for an exhibition of Performance Art to be held on July.18.2010 (Sunday). Proposals should be no longer than two pages in length, with primary focus on endurance and duration. The space outside the immediate entrance of the gallery is also accessible. Please send all submissions to the following address no later than May 15, 2010:

984 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON M6J 1H1
(416) 504-7142

Requirements are as follows: 

-A cheque or money order for $25.00 made out to Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts with each submission
-A written proposal, no longer than 2 pages, outlining your statement, intent and a brief visual description of the piece. Kindly limit your performance to 40 minutes or less.
-Images of recent performances or online links to your work
-C.V and Biography
-Your Technical requirements (Please note that artists are responsible for their own travel costs and are encouraged to apply for assistance from their respective arts councils.)

PCVA will be happy to send a formal letter of invitation to the selected artists; this may be used to secure the necessary assistance.

17. WORKSHOP: Performance Art Studies: Extension (Berlin)

Dates: July 2-11, 2010; Source: BBB Joannes Deimling

 

From July 2-11, 2010 Performance Art Studies (PAS) will take place in Berlin in cooperation with Andres Galeano and Grimmuseum with the topic "Extension". 

 

"Extension aims to create a Performance network, in order to promote the critical and theoretical discourse on Performance Art and to widen the understanding of this relatively young media through active dialogue between artists, critics and audience. Extension is a Performance Art plattform in Berlin presenting international emerging artists. It offers space, infrastructure and time for invited artists to develop new works, discuss their positions with the audience and research new methodologies in the documentation of performances. Extension hosts the tension of the process and extends the performance moment." (taken from Extension Series concept). The Workshop in Berlin will focus on the idea of Extension Series and will try even to extend it.

The aim of this 10-day intensive workshop is to develop an Art-Performance based on the topic of the studies. Workshop participants will present these new works during a public presentation in Berlin.
