Alain-Martin Richard lives and works in Québec. As an artist, he has presented manoeuvre and performance works in North America, Europe and Asia. He also works as a curator, critic and essayist, publishing articles in numerous journals on theatre, performance, installation and manoeuvre. He was a member of the former collectives Inter/Le Lieu and The Nomads, and remains active with Les Causes perdues in© and Folie/Culture. His works often deploy multiple planes of reality as in l'Atopie textuelle (2000) and The Route to Rosa (2006). Alain-Martin Richard is currently a visiting professor at Laval University's School of Visual Arts, and he is in the midst of preparing a major project for the seventh edition of Manif d'art.

TRYING SOMETHING NEW (really)
July 5, 2014

Performances by:

Claude Wittmann
Curated by Simlâ Civelek and Claude Wittmann
The impulse to plan this event has come from the desire to learn something about how to allow for practice shifts when they start to emerge. We all met and here is what "new" was for us at that moment, provided that the space, the date and duration were set:
- going back to something done in the past and do it differently
- work with a modified process
- work with another (type of) relationship with objects, the self, the audience, the space
- work with other objects
- follow a different internal route, go to another internal "space" while performing
- do the opposite of what we usually do
- push something to the extreme
- doing something completely out there, apparently unrelated to the usual work
- give instructions to somebody else and have them perform
- reenact something

Date: July 5-6, 2014; City: Toronto, Canada; Source: Jenn Goodwin
Please join us as stunt performer Anita Nittoly and performers take to the stage/stairs as part of the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition/Art Now.
July 5-6, 2014 @ 12pm

Kaja Irwin
Rena Berriault
Massiel Sanchez
Marita Hands
Kevin Kashani
Stunt performer Anita Nittoly uses stairs as both her stage and her nemesis in this movement installation. Nittoly shines and stumbles as she personifies the concept of falling from grace, while actually falling (gracefully and otherwise).
In this performance, Goodwin is particularly interested in the in-between, the mistakes, the accidents, and the beauty and tragedy of day to day life.

5. EVENT: These Immovable Walls: Performing Power at Dublin Castle
Date: July 11-12, 2014; City” Dublin, Scotland; Source: Ciara McKeon
Dublin Castle has been the seat of power in the city for much of its 800-year history. For two days this Summer, Dublin Castle will see performances by 7 national and international artists in an exhibition focusing on the theme of power and its relationship to performance.
Carey Young (UK)
Karina Seda (CZ)
Philip Napier (N.I)
Pauline Cummins (IRL)
Dominic Thorpe (IRL)
Sandra Johnston (N.I.)
and Maurice O’Connell (IRL)
The artists will perform in a variety of architecturally diverse spaces inside Dublin Castle, some of which are not normally accessible to the public, offering audiences the opportunity to see the best of performance art outside the gallery-based structure. In partnering with Office of Public Works, this series of new performances will interrogate Dublin Castle as a public space. The exhibition will consist of performances that range from short pieces to longer durational works. Artists will engage directly with the site, focusing on the day-to-day activities of the site but also looking back into history to excavate the castle’s rich past.
A seminar will also take place 2-4pm on July 11th that will look at the crossover between research into the performance of power in art and society. Event is FREE admission.
Places limited, book here: www.eventbrite.ie/e/performing-power-seminar-tickets-12077513167?ref=esfb&utm_campaign=201308&utm_source=Facebookenivtefor001
These Immovable Walls: Performing Power at Dublin Castle is curated by Michelle Browne with thanks to Ciara McKeon, Assistant Curator and produced with the support of The Arts Council of Ireland and The OPW.

Deadline date: July 15, 2014; City: Lublin, Poland; Source: Galeria Labirynt
Results will be announced not later than on July 30, 2014
Performance Art Foundation and the Galeria Labirynt invite artists to participate in a competition accompanying the 6th edition of the international Performance Platform Lublin festival.
The festival has been organised in Lublin since 2009 and is dedicated to the art of performance. The main objective of the festival is to present the diversity of paths, strategies and artistic attitudes as well as new phenomena taking place within this field of art. Special attention is paid to the work of young artists standing at the beginning of their artistic path, interested in exploring the domain of performance art.
Performance Platform Lublin 2014 will be held from 16th to 18th of October 2014 in the Galeria Labirynt in Lublin. The programme of the festival consists of two parts: live performances and the video part during which selected film documentation of performances and video performances will be presented. Therefore, the competition involves two separate admission processes: to the “live” programme and to the “video” programme. The candidates can participate in one or both of them.
We invite artists who are under 35 years of age and who have not participated in the previous editions of the Performance Platform Lublin Festival.
Please visit the website to find out how to apply and what materials are required for submission. The applications must be received at the Gallery no later than 15.07.2014, either by email or by post.

10. EVENT: Super-Diviner: A psychic performance by RM Vaughan.

Super-Diviner: A psychic performance by RM Vaughan
July 29: 6:44pm to 8:44pm
July 30: 6:43pm to 8:43pm
July 31: 6:42 pm to 8:42pm
VIDEOFAG
187 Augusta Avenue, Toronto
Admission is FREE
VIDEOFAG proudly presents Super-Diviner, a new performance work by RM Vaughan.
Super-Diviner is a psychic experiment, a reconstitution of the art of divination.
Inspired by decades of personal research and a smattering of similar performances (held at Mercer Union (Toronto) Nuit Blanche, The Power Plant, IFOA, Mind Pirates E.V. (Berlin) and Pride Toronto, among others), multi-media artist and author RM Vaughan will perform occult-based readings for visitors to VIDEOFAG by employing a new divinatory system based on the Tarot deck.
Docent: Keith Cole (Toronto)
Soundscape: Tomas Hemstad (Berlin)
Super-Diviner is an experiment. Toronto multi-media artist RM Vaughan has been reading Tarot cards and participating in occult rituals since his early teens. Now he wants to know: Is he actually psychic?
Super-Diviner seeks to both re-arrange and undermine traditional systems of divinatory revelation (aka "fortune telling"), by disrupting the format of the familiar, one-on-one/single-signifier-deck Tarot reading. And, by dislodging the worn tropes of the "Tarot reading", Vaughan hopes to discover whether or not he is a psychic conduit. The performances will take place for exactly two hours before sunset, three days in a row.
Visitors to the gallery will be instructed to enter alone, and not to speak or otherwise communicate with Vaughan. Vaughan will not be visible and is not permitted to ask questions of the visitor. All facial cues, verbal cues, and other non-verbal cognitive transactions between "Reader" and "Receiver" will thus be made opaque to both parties.
The visitor will select three cards from a pile of assorted divinatory decks, divinatory cards both well-known and obscure. The visitor will not be able to see the horde of cards and will use his/her own intuition in choosing them from an opaque bowl.
By breaking up multiple divinatory decks and throwing them into a common (and occluded) lot, Vaughan seeks to negate the innate, hierarchical systems present in each deck as well as the act of "card shuffling" and how it determines the Receiver's psychic "readiness" and receptivity -- and, overall, to create a far more random selection of potential divinatory prompts for both the visitor and the reader. Once selected, the visitor's cards will be delivered to Vaughan via a simple mechanical exchange, an obscured sliding door, and Vaughan will pronounce his reading of the cards to the visitor from behind a veiled space. The end of the reading is signaled by Vaughan's returning of the cards, via the sliding door, to the visitor, who then must leave. The visitor takes away the given reading and decides for her/himself if Vaughan possesses psychic abilities, or does not. The visitor is free to relay their discoveries to the docent, or not.
Super-Diviner is the first installment of Entreat, a three-part "physic investigation" project involving performance and the creation of divinatory objects. Parts two and three will manifest over the coming 12 months, in various locations.

11. CALL FOR RESIDENCY: Pulau Ubin Artists-in-Residency Programme
Deadline date: July 31, 2014 City: Pulau Ubin, Singapore; Source: The Artists Village
The Artists Village - Pulau Ubin Artists-in-Residency Programme is conducting an open call for artists to apply for the residency. This Artist In Residency (AIR) program is located in Pulau Ubin. The AIR program will be offering artists an opportunity to stay and work on the island of Pulau Ubin. We have a vision to use the island as a canvas to create art. The artists will be staying in the residency house equipped with basic workshop tools. This residency is an attempt to get cultural and art practitioners to work in close contact with a comparatively unspoiled natural environment in Singapore. We hope to provide a chance for artists to develop a different perspective from the experience of living on the island. At the same time, we recommend intending participants to inculcate a view towards working in and with nature and eco-friendlier art practices in this unique residency.
Since 2011, the programme had present many SIngapore and international artists. These artists include Mike Cooper, Vichukorn Tangpaiboon, Jay Koh, Dennis Tan, Mike HJ Chang, Wang Chuyu, Zhang Kexin, Jacquelyn Soo, Ian Carlo Jaucian, Yuzuru Maeda, Wu Jun Han, Truong Thien, etc.
This project is organized by The Artists Village.
The application for 2014-2015 is open now. For this cycle, we are having collaborations with our overseas partners for an exchange residency programme. There are two parts to the residency programme. For the first part, artists will stay and work on Pulau Ubin in Singapore. As for the second part, the resident artists will be have an opportunity to attend another one of the residency programmes organised by our collaborating partners in overseas (China / Vietnam / South Korea). Therefore we regret that we are only able to accept applications from Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.
More information on our overseas collaborators will be release soon.
Applicants are highly encouraged to propose projects which touch on environmental issues or Pulau Ubin itself.
Deadline is on 31 July 2014.
For information on how to apply and what is provided in the programme, visit:
