Encontramos, desde meados de 1950, na  história da Arte e da Cultura brasileiras, uma serie de acontecimentos  importantes que nos chamam a atenção por levar a prática artística ao  espaço público. Estas interferências no fluxo quotidiano da cidade  geravam, para além da modificação das formas de perceber o espaço  urbano, apontavam questões sobre os modos de produção na arte.&lt;br /&gt;A  cidade de São Paulo tornou-se num dos palcos para o acontecimento de  eventos experimentais organizados pelos jovens artistas, situações,  happenings, performances e interacções no espaço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na oficina para  pensar a performance como intervenção na paisagem urbana. Serão  abordados procedimentos em que se estabeleçam relações com a cidade a  partir de exercícios de percepção. Aspectos específicos da história  recente da arte contemporânea brasileira trarão elementos para se pensar  contextos específicos propondo acções no espaço urbano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta  proposta de trabalho será uma introdução à problemática que inaugura a  prática de intervenção na cidade de São Paulo entre as décadas de 1970 e  80.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MARÍA VAZ VALENTE&lt;br /&gt;Trabalha a performance desde uma  perspectiva plástica e de relação com o espaço, nos seus trabalhos, a  exploração do espaço físico relacionado com o tempo e o corpo é um tema  recorrente, a construção poética das suas acções, têm implicado sempre a  presença de uma audiência e algumas vezes trabalha directamente com o  publico em ambientes happening.&lt;br /&gt;Maira é também uma das responsáveis  pela criação do NAP Núcleo Aberto de Performance , que visa incentivar o  desenvolvimento da pesquisa e ensino da historia da Performance.

Platform3 tiap tahunnya menampilkan sejumlah perupa yang menggarap proyek khusus berdasarkan hasil diskusi mengenai tema besar tertentu. Tema besar Platform3 di tahun keduanya adalah “agama”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv2009284874MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv2009284874MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Mujahidin menjelajahi soal persepsi. Ia meminjam motif-motif &lt;i&gt;arabesque&lt;/i&gt;, sebagai satu citraan yang dilekatkan pada Islam untuk mengembangkan perupaan yang baginya mewakili problematika persepsi mengenai Islam dan Muslim. Bagi Mujahidin, yang mengganggu adalah persepsi bahwa Islam identik dengan kekerasan, terorisme, dan ketertutupan. Motif &lt;i&gt;arabesque&lt;/i&gt; Mujahidin berangkat dari persepsi ini. Sebuah motif bisa jadi berasal dari sesuatu yang nyata ada di dunia, namun ia ditampilkan setelah melalui proses penyederhanaan dan penggayaan. Proses ini kiranya menjadi kiasan dari problem-problem: bahwa persepsi tidak pernah utuh mewakili, setelah terbentuk sekian lama menjadi amat sulit untuk menentangnya, dan mengandung paradoks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv2009284874MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv2009284874MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Gambar-gambar ornamentik Mujahidin menampilkan sikap mengamini—penerimaan terhadap ihwal betapa sulit melawan persepsi—sekaligus menunjukan lapisan-lapisan tafsir atas persepsi yang tidak sesederhana penampakannya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv2009284874MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;-- &lt;br /&gt;PLATFORM3 is an  initiative space with focus activities on exhibition and artist in  residence programs. In holding its activities, PLATFORM3 attempts to  develop artist’s thematic and artistic ideas through intense  discussions. All exhibitions held by PLATFORM3 underline every artist’s  statement as the most important aspect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLATFORM3 is initiated by three curators: Aminudin TH Siregar, Rifky  Effendy and Agung Hujatnikajennong; and three artists: J.A.  Pramuhendra, Radi Arwinda and Wiyoga Muhardanto.

Unusual investment structures, increased unemployment rates and the panic &lt;br /&gt;ridden news media have everyone worried about a downturn in the economy and looking for distractions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent news media reports have highlighted “recession time” trends including increased sales in alcohol, fast foods &lt;br /&gt;and cheap forms of entertainment.  Business analysts are predicting that there will be a shift from high-cost forms of &lt;br /&gt;entertainment to low. It is believed that this development, in hard times, is due to individuals wanting to escape from &lt;br /&gt;their problems and troubles. During past recessions, people have turned to escapist forms of entertainment to help &lt;br /&gt;them feel better and more secure about their financial situation. In bad times, we still need our good times, maybe &lt;br /&gt;more than ever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FADO Performance Art Centre is developing a series of new performance works considering the connection between &lt;br /&gt;recessions and escapism. Performances artists are invited to think about the following when submitting a proposal: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Escaping &lt;br /&gt;• Nesting at home with cheap entertainment (reality television, video games, the internet &amp;amp; cooking your own dinner) &lt;br /&gt;• D.I.Y. Entertainment  (creating your own entertainment systems) &lt;br /&gt;• Stay-cations (vacationing at home) &lt;br /&gt;• Sharing Economies (borrowing instead of buying) &lt;br /&gt;• The never-ending sale &lt;br /&gt;• 2 for 1 special &lt;br /&gt;• Increased cinema / movie sales and decreased attendance at live music and theatre performances. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proposals should include a CV, bio, and description of proposed performance, images/video of past work, and any &lt;br /&gt;other relevant information. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deadline:  June 30, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FADO Performance Art Centre &lt;br /&gt;448-401 Richmond Street West &lt;br /&gt;Toronto, Ontario &lt;br /&gt;M5V 3A8 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVENT: Carbon Interiorities with Rachel Echenberg and Vida Simon &lt;br /&gt;Dates: May 8-30 (see details); Source: Irene Loughlin &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An artist residency and presentation of works by Rachel Echenberg and Vida Simon &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday May 8, 7-10pm (during the James St. North Art Crawl) &lt;br /&gt;An evolving installation using the materials of performance and drawing by Vida Simon begins. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 12-16, 12-5pm &lt;br /&gt;The public is invited to drop by the gallery as this performance/installation further unfolds.

Since 1992 her work has been &lt;br /&gt;exhibited, performed and screened throughout Canada, Europe, and the US as well as Chile, Lebanon, Morocco and &lt;br /&gt;Japan. At Hamilton Artists Inc., over the course of several hours Rachel Echenberg attempts to slowly erase herself &lt;br /&gt;from view. This action aims to put a visual aspect to public invisibility and anonymity. Echenberg investigates live and &lt;br /&gt;mediated presence through a body of works that explores vulnerable, intimate and uncontrollable relationships. She &lt;br /&gt;has aways been drawn to actions that point towards slow physical and conceptual transformation. She is interested in &lt;br /&gt;how proximity and dislocation affect the possibilities for active empathy and productive exchange from the viewer’s &lt;br /&gt;distances perspective. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vida Simon’s installation/performance work has been presented in a wide range of contexts – galleries, performance &lt;br /&gt;festivals, residencies and site-responsive projects in public and private spaces. Her works has been shown &lt;br /&gt;internationally, most recently in Lithuania and Chile. While her work is visually-based, she tries to create situations that &lt;br /&gt;undo representation, revealing processes that are normally kept “behind the scenes”. Drawing live often plays a central &lt;br /&gt;role in her performances. Vida Simon lives and works in Montreal. For the work in Hamilton, she explores the &lt;br /&gt;intersections of drawing, improvisation, and personal archaeology. This slowly-unfolding-space will center on drawing, &lt;br /&gt;yet also incorporate other actions performed at different “stations” in the gallery, forming a cycle of gestures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamilton Artists Inc. &lt;br /&gt;155-161- James Street North &lt;br /&gt;Hamilton, Ontario   L8R 3P1 &lt;br /&gt;905-529-3355 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=inc@hamiltonartistsinc.on.ca" ymailto="mailto:inc@hamiltonartistsinc.on.ca"&gt;inc@hamiltonartistsinc.on.ca&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;www.hamiltonartsitsinc.on.ca &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Public Hours &lt;br /&gt;Tuesday – Friday 12-5 &lt;br /&gt;Saturday 12-4 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVENT: Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art Performance Festival &lt;br /&gt;Date: May 24-30, 2009; Source: Angelika Fojtuch &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24th - 30th of May 2009 &lt;br /&gt;2nd THESSALONIKI BIENNALE OF CONTEMPORARY ART &lt;br /&gt;PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL &lt;br /&gt;Curated by: Demosthenis Agrafiotis – Eirini Papakonstantinou &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The performance art artists participating are coming from Greece, USA, Portugal, Denmark, Nigeria, Canada, Romania, &lt;br /&gt;Poland, Switzerland, Germany, China, Japan, France and Uruguay: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Angelika Fojtuch &lt;br /&gt;Angeliki Avgitidou &lt;br /&gt;Aris Prodromidis &lt;br /&gt;Beatriz Albuquerque &lt;br /&gt;Boris Nieslony &lt;br /&gt;Cesar Martinez &lt;br /&gt;Chengyao He &lt;br /&gt;Clemente Padin &lt;br /&gt;Danai Papas &lt;br /&gt;David Adamo &lt;br /&gt;Eric Andersen &lt;br /&gt;Evangelia Basdekis &lt;br /&gt;Guillermo Gómez-Peña &lt;br /&gt;Hector Mavridis &lt;br /&gt;IC Group &lt;br /&gt;Jelili Atiku &lt;br /&gt;Joachim Montessuis &lt;br /&gt;Mary Zygouri &lt;br /&gt;Matei Bejenaru &lt;br /&gt;Michel Collet &amp;amp; Valentine Verhaeghe &lt;br /&gt;Monika Günther and Ruedi Schil &lt;br /&gt;Panos Tsagaris &lt;br /&gt;Paul Zografakis &lt;br /&gt;Seiji Shimoda &lt;br /&gt;Sfina Sylvette Babbin &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVENT: Live Action Göteborg &lt;br /&gt;Date: May 28-31; Source: Joakim Stampe &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This years edition of Sweden's leading international performance art festival, Live Action Göteborg, will take place, &lt;br /&gt;from May 28 to 31 2009 at the Museum of World Culture.

If the &lt;br /&gt;notion world culture can signify an attitude, a way of living, a way of thinking, is World Culture in performance art a &lt;br /&gt;way to be, to function, and during Live Action Göteborg, simply an act. It is also with great pleasure that we can &lt;br /&gt;announce that this years festival will be presented at the Museum of World Culture. With this years edition we have &lt;br /&gt;chagned not only the outlook and the season but also the venue. However, the artistic quality will still be on the same &lt;br /&gt;level. Yes, we are very pleased to be able to present a mixed program of high quality, that we are convinced will &lt;br /&gt;fascinate and stimulate a hopefully large audience.

The summer school will be a mixture of workshop/training sessions, new work development &lt;br /&gt;and social time, all themed around the question, “Where do lost things go.” Proto-type company members will deliver &lt;br /&gt;a series of provocations to the participants around various forms of loss, which will inspire the development of short &lt;br /&gt;performance works. Participants will work in groups and individually to develop their short performance pieces and &lt;br /&gt;will receive critical feedback and guidance on developing their practice. The weeklong workshop will end with a &lt;br /&gt;presentation of work and a closing event. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Proto-type Summer School is limited to 12 participants and the week is charged at £150. Applications are due by &lt;br /&gt;noon 8 June 2009. Because spaces are limited, priority will be given to applications submitted before 1 May 2009. &lt;br /&gt;Some bursaries may become available.

It provides approximately twenty-five young artists from Belgium and abroad with a studio of their &lt;br /&gt;own for the duration of two years along with specific, tailor-made guidance. At the HISK, emphasis lies mainly on &lt;br /&gt;individual practice with an international focus. The visiting lecturers are crucial. Artists, curators, critics and &lt;br /&gt;theoreticians pay individual studio visits at regular intervals. There are also frequent visits to significant art events and &lt;br /&gt;lectures, seminars and workshops are provided. The HISK also offers technical facilities and production opportunities. &lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the unique HISK concept, the participants are given every opportunity to invest in critical research of their &lt;br /&gt;work in order to situate it within a broader artistic, cultural and societal context. At the end of the two-year working &lt;br /&gt;period, the participant receives a certificate of 'Laureate of the HISK'. The HISK is officially recognized as Higher &lt;br /&gt;Institute and is financed by the Flemish Community - Ministry of Education and supported by the City of Ghent. Since &lt;br /&gt;1997, 148 laureates have graduated from the HISK. The largest part of them are currently building up a successful &lt;br /&gt;professional career in the Belgian and international art world. In 2009, the candidate-laureates working at the HISK &lt;br /&gt;come from Canada, Japan, Ethiopia, South Africa, Israel, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Portugal, France, Germany, &lt;br /&gt;the Netherlands and Belgium. An international jury selected them from more than a hundred candidates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Open Studios give the candidate-laureates the opportunity to undergo a confrontation with the public and to &lt;br /&gt;generate a great deal of feedback from visual arts professionals. It also offers the audience access to and an insight &lt;br /&gt;into the artistic development of a young generation of artists who will play a part in shaping the future of the arts &lt;br /&gt;landscape. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Methinks presents &lt;br /&gt;Deadline: June 15, 2009; Source: Ryan Ringer &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 15, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Methinks Presents seeks performance proposals from local, national and international artists and collectives of all &lt;br /&gt;stripes, in response to the theme, We Made a Deal with the Devil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this theme as a guide, embark on a wild inspiration-hunt through the deep woods of folklore, collective memory, &lt;br /&gt;mythmaking, adventure and risk.

With an emphasis on interactivity, P/E/D &lt;br /&gt;is comprised of performance art, intimate conversation, craft making and singing along - but that's not all! Blurring &lt;br /&gt;the lines between art and experience, high and low culture, playfulness and thoughtfulness P/E/D takes art out of the &lt;br /&gt;galleries and brings it onto the streets for all Pride art lovers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artist and P/E/D curator Daryl Vocat has again assembled a unique group of artists and performers this year for an &lt;br /&gt;event that is perfect for the queer and queer friendly urban explorer. Stuff your face at a Dyke Day afternoon pie &lt;br /&gt;eating contest with Lex Vaughn, get crafty in the FreeZone making felt moustaches, one-inch buttons, or bring &lt;br /&gt;something to have screen printed! Commemorate Pride 2009 by having Duorama stamp you pennies. Reflect on &lt;br /&gt;history with a screening of the documentary General Idea: Art AIDS and the Fin de Siecle. Drop by the P/E/D tent in &lt;br /&gt;Norman Jewison Park to watch a series of animated videos. Join the crowds on Saturday June 28th at 10pm in Paul &lt;br /&gt;Kane Parkette for a secret sing along. Don't know the words? Don't worry you'll still have "something to sing about!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P/E/D is truly a unique experience and you are encouraged to choose your own adventure in Church / Wellesley's &lt;br /&gt;unique park system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daryl Vocat, born in Regina, Saskatchewan, is a visual artist living and working in Toronto. He has had solo &lt;br /&gt;exhibitions at Toronto's Thrush Holmes Empire, Open Studio, and York Quay Gallery. He has also had solo exhibitions &lt;br /&gt;at SNAP gallery in Edmonton, Eastern Edge Gallery in St John's, James K.

Once again stromereien will present 15 new and unusual performance projects. In addition &lt;br /&gt;the festival will offer a six day workshop for professional artists, a symposium discussing the rules and breaking of &lt;br /&gt;boundaries in public spaces, discussions with the performing artists and lots more! &lt;br /&gt;The detailed festival programme will be available at www.stromereien.ch from May 2009. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artists stromereien 09: Simon Berz (Zürich), Cie. Nicole Seiler (Lausanne), Cie. Nuna - YounSoon Cho (Lausanne), &lt;br /&gt;Body Cartography Project (Minneapolis, USA), Nicolas Y Galeazzi (Barcelona, Berlin, UK), Georg Keller (Zürich), Jordan &lt;br /&gt;McKenzie (London, UK), post theater &amp;amp; Beatrice Fleischlin (Berlin), Anne Rosset &amp;amp; Robert Alexander (Zürich), Mia &lt;br /&gt;Rushton &amp;amp; Eric Moschopedis (Calgary, Kanada), Katja Schenker (Zürich), Nadine Schwarz (Zürich), Lara Stanic &lt;br /&gt;(Zürich), Anna Tenta (Zürich), Eva Weaver (Brighton, UK) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Workshop with Thomas Lehmen (Berlin) &lt;br /&gt;2. – 7. August 2009 (full days) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his workshop, Thomas Lehmen will concentrate on the artistic exploration of public space. Over a period of six days &lt;br /&gt;the participants of the workshop will experiment with different strategies of creating a dialogue with communal &lt;br /&gt;spaces, of how to react to the resulting findings or how to include imaginary content in these results . The factual &lt;br /&gt;context of a city will thereby be brought into a creative relationship with artistic ideas, utopian fantasies and invented &lt;br /&gt;characters. A series of tailored, specific exercises will lead the workshop participants in exploring the city. On the final &lt;br /&gt;day of the Workshop, several “Working Rehearsals” will be presented to the public as part of the stromereien 09 &lt;br /&gt;Performance Festival Zürich. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The workshop is aimed at practising artists of various genres, specialists in related subject areas, and students of &lt;br /&gt;relevant subjects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomas Lehmen is a choreographer, dancer and teacher. He studied at the School for New Dance Development in &lt;br /&gt;Amsterdam from 1986 to 1990; since 1990 he has been living in Berlin where he developed numerous works and &lt;br /&gt;projects that have presented worldwide. Topics of repeated artistic interest include communication, cybernetics and &lt;br /&gt;the way in which the human being reflects over, and therefore influences, his environment. His methods of &lt;br /&gt;approaching material, which often use elements of verbal communication, are based on conceptional methods and &lt;br /&gt;forms of presentation. Thomas Lehmen teaches at various universities in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin and Reykjavik &lt;br /&gt;and gives workshops both nationally and internationally. His teaching methods often utilise choreographical systems &lt;br /&gt;that lay focus on an individual artistic process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Works (Selection): 1999: "distanzlos", 2001: "mono subjects", 2002: "Schreibstueck", 2003: „STATIONEN - Station 1, &lt;br /&gt;Berlin“, 2004: "FUNKTIONEN", "It's better to...", 2006: "Lehmen lernt", "Invitation". &lt;br /&gt;www.thomaslehmen.de &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Course Dates: Sunday 2nd – Friday 7th August 2009, all day &lt;br /&gt;Location: Tanzhaus Zürich, Wasserwerk 129, CH – 8037 Zürich &lt;br /&gt;Working Language: German (possibly also English) &lt;br /&gt;Cost: SFr. 400.00 (Swiss Francs) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Places are limited! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written or emailed registration for the workshop containing a short CV (bullet points); Don’t forget address, telephone &lt;br /&gt;number and email address!  a short letter of application explaining why you wish to take part in the workshop should &lt;br /&gt;be sent to the following address: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;stromereien 09, c/0 Tanzhaus Zürich, &lt;br /&gt;Wasserwerkstrasse 129, &lt;br /&gt;CH – 8037 Zürich &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For questions or information please contact Bettina Holzhausen at &lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=info@stromereien.ch" ymailto="mailto:info@stromereien.ch"&gt;info@stromereien.ch&lt;/a&gt;, or +41 (0) 79 745 30 24. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CALL FOR PAPERS: essi Arts + Opinions &lt;br /&gt;Deadline: September 10, 2009; Source: Essi &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theme: Sabotage &lt;br /&gt;Deadline: September 10 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Send your text (1,000-2,250 words) to &lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=s.babin@esse.ca" ymailto="mailto:s.babin@esse.ca"&gt;s.babin@esse.ca&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;(50-80 words), an abstract of the text (100 words), as well as postal and e-mail addresses. We also welcome &lt;br /&gt;submissions (reviews, essays, analyses) not connected to a particular theme (deadlines: September 10, January 10 and &lt;br /&gt;April 15). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sabotage &lt;br /&gt;After a year spent focusing on waste, fragility and disappearance, we felt the need to have a look at the art object &lt;br /&gt;prior to its obliteration or transformation, to consider instead what accelerated its disintegration, and explore the &lt;br /&gt;means and motives behind such practices. In thus seemed appropriate to propose to authors a meditation on the &lt;br /&gt;notion of artistic sabotage. In the next themed issue, esse will publish critical analyses of artistic practices that aim to &lt;br /&gt;disrupt established systems as well as public order, through self-destruction, contamination, interference or infiltration. &lt;br /&gt;Some artists seem to look towards illegality, others choose to undermine their own projects or to interfere in others’, &lt;br /&gt;thus producing a value judgment on the artistic quality of a work. There are also those interested in diverting the &lt;br /&gt;mechanisms of structured paranoia in our society, in particular camera surveillance systems and social networks that &lt;br /&gt;appropriate personal data. Our objective is to better understand non-ethical, illegal practices—sometimes politically &lt;br /&gt;inclined, even anarchist—that spread chaos for purely artistic reasons, whose strike force possibly resides in their &lt;br /&gt;capacity to critique established discourses and their imitations. esse wishes to highlight the necessity of practices that &lt;br /&gt;deliberately act on various systems, including the art world’s, to better show their failings and perhaps even awaken &lt;br /&gt;consciousness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;Info from  FADO: &lt;br /&gt;Established in 1993, FADO Performance Inc.

United States -for Herbert Norman&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In University, I studied Modern Japanese History, and re-learned Herbert Norman . . . &lt;br /&gt;In elementary school, we ate a lunch of bread, powdered-milk, and other (unnamed) foods. I never ate bread or milk in my own home, at home we ate rice and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_5"&gt;miso soup&lt;/span&gt;. The bread at school was made with [expired] flour from the United States, and we drank [powdered] milk , which I later learned, were common in the United states. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, the U.S. government had sold them to the Japanese. When I asked my mother to buy bread and milk, she said they were too expensive for us . I liked Coca-cola alot, but could only get it once or twice a year, when our relatives visited and gave me a little money; then I ran to the store and bought Coke. My parents asked why I like Coca-cola, when it tastes like medicine and it is so expensive?Viva! United States -for Herbert Norman &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same time, every day on tv ads, they sang the. "DEL MONTE tomato ketchup" song, and we happily sang the "DEL MONTE tomato ketchup" song without knowing what ketchup is. Because of this song, I like ketchup so much, I use ketchup on everything. However, my parents never got used it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;40 years ago, my home town was a countryside , and all around my house were rice fields and some gas stations. Now, there are no rice fields, but only McDonald's, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_6"&gt;Kentucky Fried Chicken&lt;/span&gt;’s, 24 hour &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_7"&gt;convenience stores&lt;/span&gt;  (like "Seven-Eleven"), and USA-style road-side restaurants. In our Japanese kitchens ‘  there is  no more  Ajinomoto, and all the food we buy has everything already  in it. My father, who died 7 years ago , liked Kentucky Fried Chicken very much He also liked &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_8" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Japanese sake&lt;/span&gt; very much. So, he drank sake and ate Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yes. He drank sake with Kentucky Fried Chicken. Now my mother lives alone in our home town. &lt;br /&gt;She told me that she sometimes does not like to make her meals, so she buys bread and milk at  the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_9"&gt;convenience store&lt;/span&gt;, 7-11 for her lonely dinner alone. &lt;br /&gt;Widely read in his time, Herbert Norman wrote about the working class of &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_10" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Japan&lt;/span&gt;, and of the farmers, who had created a political system of their own. This political system, despite the various realms of the Japanese Emperors. had existed for hundreds of years, and had remained stable Normans’ writings on the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_11"&gt;modern history of Japan&lt;/span&gt; are important, especially his writings on the tradition of democracy in Japan before &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_12"&gt;World War Two&lt;/span&gt;, as many Japanese historians believe that before &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_13"&gt;World War II&lt;/span&gt; there was no tradition of democracy in Japan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life began to fall apart for Norman in 1959, when questions were raised in a US Senate committee about his reliability and his past activities at &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_14"&gt;Cambridge University&lt;/span&gt;.  In 1956 he was moved to &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_15"&gt;Cairo&lt;/span&gt; as Canadian Ambassador to &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_16"&gt;Egypt&lt;/span&gt; where, after brokering a successful treaty over the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_17"&gt;Suez Crisis&lt;/span&gt;, he found himself in the international spotlight once again.V &lt;br /&gt;But his presence in Cairo sparked criticism in &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_18"&gt;Washington&lt;/span&gt; that someone of Norman’s questionable security background could occupy such a sensitive position. He was named again in the U. S. Senate Internal Security Subcommitte in mid-March 1957. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In desperation and over the fear of a second round of questioning by the Senate, where he would have to support his views and name his friends, Norman took his own life by jumping off the roof of a hotel in Cairo on April 4, 1957. Despite the various realms of the Japanese Emperors, the writings of Norman were considered too political. He had portrayed the working-class, ie: the people who could not afford Del Monte Ketchuo at home, in so much of a spotlight, that he could not survive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had he survived, he would have had to name all of the people he had championed, (despite the fact that none of them were US citizens). PERRFORMANCE: ARAI pours ketchup over a portrait of Norman, with &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_19"&gt;powdered milk&lt;/span&gt; and flour ARAI asks the audience to pour over him with powdered skimmed milk and flour. Arai sings the "DEL MONTE tomato ketchup" song. - Arai pours ketchup on the portrait of Norman and his wife Ajiomoto was said to make people clever, especially children. ARAI pours monosodium glutamate over the portrait of Norman and his wife. Ajinomoto is the Japanese company of monosodium glutamate that has produced monosodium glutamate since 1909. Ajinomoto means "King of flavor" in Japanese. Now, especially in &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297218_20"&gt;Asia&lt;/span&gt;, there are many companies like Ajinomo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height: 896px; width: 798px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" bg="" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 	&lt;td align="left" bg="" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 734px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 32px; padding-top: 32px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; 				day 2 - ARAI SHIN-ICHI &lt;br /&gt;[Tokyo, Japan] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://cts.vresp.com/c/?GraceExhibitionSpace/8df72207fe/3d4de9b7dd/8a3ba18053" rel="nofollow" style="color: #bf0000; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297592_3"&gt;www.araiart.jp/vivainvasion.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="showhead" style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Viva!

The traitorsCwho were extremely away from the people, robbed the property of them everywhere for a living. Thus the majority supported the Peoples Liberation Army to appease the uprising. &lt;br /&gt;Suokang and Pala started the uprising. They made a mistake on estimating both the position and our policy to Tibet. Our policy, as you know, was not to innovate in the coming six years. And whether it needs to innovate after six years was according to the situation at that time. After we made this decision, we withdrew 30,000 troops in order to combine them together and make progress. However, they made use of the situation and organized the uprising started by the traitors from Xikang in Shannan. &lt;br /&gt;The first purpose of them starting the uprising was to drive the Army away and intimidate us. They knew nothing about our policy and the power of the PLA. It took two days and two nights for only ten companies to appease the uprising in Lhasa, while four corps in Shannan. Now the PLA has added two and a half divisions, one in Shannan and another one in Changdu, the left half to protect the traffic system of Qingzang Line. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;G&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;RACE EXHIBITION SPACE &lt;br /&gt;840 BROADWAY, 2nd Floor - Brooklyn &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_0" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;(646) 578-3402&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=gracexhibitionspace@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow" style="color: #bf0000; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" ymailto="mailto:gracexhibitionspace@yahoo.com"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_1"&gt;gracexhibitionspace@yahoo.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cts.vresp.com/c/?GraceExhibitionSpace/6e2629dda0/3d4de9b7dd/9f52a18a8f" rel="nofollow" style="color: #bf0000; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_2"&gt;www.grace-exhibition-space.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 	&lt;td bgcolor="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="http://www.grace-exhibition-space.com/images/blank.gif" width="436" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 		&lt;td align="left" colspan="3"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 734px;"&gt;			&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 				&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 32px; padding-top: 32px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; 				day 3 - ARAI SHIN-ICHI &lt;br /&gt;[&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_3" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; cursor: pointer;"&gt;TOKYO JAPAN&lt;/span&gt;] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://cts.vresp.com/c/?GraceExhibitionSpace/6e2629dda0/3d4de9b7dd/740d503c69" rel="nofollow" style="color: #bf0000; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_4"&gt;www.jardimdosventos.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="showhead" style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Happy &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_5" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Japan&lt;/span&gt;" &lt;br /&gt;"with special guest  TANAKA &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_6" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;TOSHI&lt;/span&gt;" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img alt="day 3 - ARAI SHIN-ICHI" src="http://proxy.pcdn.vresp.com/2a501c9fe/www.grace-exhibition-space.com/photos/ARAI_MOUTH.jpg" width="367" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="showhead" style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thursday, May 7 &lt;br /&gt;8:00 pm &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"&gt; Free / By Donation &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 					&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 				&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="width: 367px;"&gt;				&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 				&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 				&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 				&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 12px;"&gt; 				 				&lt;/span&gt; 				 &lt;/td&gt; 				&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 			&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 				&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 84px; padding-top: 32px;"&gt;Petit Retrospective of Arai Shin-ichi &lt;br /&gt;Works from 1999-2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight, Mr. Shin-ichi will be preceeded by Tanaka Toshi, the acclaimed butoh dancer and calligrapher &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happy Japan!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost 6 years ago Japan passed a law creating an official Japanese flag and an official Japanese anthem. Before that, there was no law fora Japanese flag or far a &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_7"&gt;national anthem&lt;/span&gt;. Now, in school ceremonies , like graduations, people should show the Japanese flag and sing the national anthem. Teachers and students who do not like to respect the flag or to sing the national anthem in the ceremonies are punished by the director - because of the new law. Before there was some agreement among the people that the Japanese flag was the symbol of militarism, and the anthem celebrated the Emperor. &lt;br /&gt;This is akin to the uniforms of Japan Overseas Cooperate Volunteers, the Japanese &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_8"&gt;Peace Corp&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;As a Volunteer I lived in &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_9"&gt;Zanzibar, Tanzania&lt;/span&gt; from 1992 – 1994, and I taught &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_10"&gt;wood block printing&lt;/span&gt; to young Zanzibar artists at the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_11"&gt;art school&lt;/span&gt; of Nyumba ya Sanaa, in Zanzibar. Before I went to Tanzania, all members of the Japan Overseas Cooperate Volunteers had to meet the Emperor, who is the honorary president of the organization. In &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_12"&gt;Tanzania&lt;/span&gt; we got 200USD per month for meals, books and gas for our motor bike. Those days, Tanzanian people got 30USD for their jobs. &lt;br /&gt;In Tanzania, I had a lot of girl friends who loved my money. In this performance, the title of the comic book used is, "What is a &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_13" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; cursor: pointer;"&gt;Patriotic War&lt;/span&gt;?" &lt;br /&gt;The comic book's author says that Japan must have more military power, and we Japanese must have a more patriot spirit. This very popular comic book refutes the Nanking genocide by the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_14" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Japanese army&lt;/span&gt;. It claims that there was no &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297360_15"&gt;Korean&lt;/span&gt; or E.A. And claims that there were no women sex slaves in the Japanese army, claiming they were only commercial prostitutes. &lt;br /&gt;More than a million people bought  and read this book, most of them under the age of 30. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 734px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 32px; padding-top: 32px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; 				day 4 - ARAI SHIN-ICHI &lt;br /&gt;[tokyo, Japan] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://cts.vresp.com/c/?GraceExhibitionSpace/4883af526b/3d4de9b7dd/814fdfc648" rel="nofollow" style="color: #bf0000; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297475_3"&gt;www.araiart.jp/0804273e.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="showhead" style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Viva! &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297475_4"&gt;Globalization&lt;/span&gt; For TANAKA Mitsu" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, May 8 &lt;br /&gt;8:00 pm &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"&gt; Free / By Donation &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img alt="day 4 - ARAI SHIN-ICHI" src="http://proxy.pcdn.vresp.com/c33c6dd95/www.grace-exhibition-space.com/photos/Arai_the_feminist.jpg" width="367" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 				&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="width: 367px;"&gt;				&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 				&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 				&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 				&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 12px;"&gt; 				 				&lt;/span&gt; 				 &lt;/td&gt; 				&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 			&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 				&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;div face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="13px" style="color: black; line-height: 18px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 84px; padding-top: 32px;"&gt;Petit &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297475_5" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Retrospective&lt;/span&gt; of ARAI Shin-ichi &lt;br /&gt;Works from 1999-2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fourth of 5 nights of performances by Mr. Shin-ichi &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Viva! Globalization For TANAKA Mitsu&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Epilogue for the first edition of "For women of life - an outrageous women-lib theory" (April 1972) by Tanaka &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mitsu First, I’ll tell you that authorities are stepping up their harassment day by day. Things seem the same with everything dubbed a movement. We are still wondering what a movement means and engaging in the lib that the society sees as a movement. Even this humble effort is already disturbing enough for the authorities, it seems. As she entered our collective, a member of our group lent the apartment she had lived by then. Then we found the authorities had listed the new lender, whom we had barely met once, as a member of our group , added with an allegation that she had stolen a rifle from a house and given it to extremists. Newspapers finely faked a story that our group had risen to armed fights. Funny enough, it was when we were struggling for our unfamiliar new job as bar hostesses. We are simply stunned by the slyness of the authorities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am being tailed by a plain-clothes on a daily basis. A cop is shameless enough to visit my parents every day to intimidate them saying that their daughter is a ranking member of her feminist group. We just laugh at this old-fashioned mentality to use the word a ranking member. If I am a ranking member, you may be the gang leader. We joke and yet shiver with the sharpened claws of the authorities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the authorities that crave for armed fights more than anybody else. Which fool on earth runs for armed campaigns when they are trying to illegalize everything dubbed a movement? It would be a blind suicide to rise to armed fights, at least on the vague terrain of the new left. As a bitch who has lived wagging her tail, I will refuse to die worthlessly like an underdog. Nor will l choose to live like one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women are always "realists." We'll do legal activities as the keystone. This is the very conclusion we reached after shamelessly drifting between the right and left, to the puzzling of the general public. We cannot take off elegantly as a lib group which tries to pick up everything dumped by all these called movements, including housewives leagues and new-left actions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authorities are trying to make the lib an exceptional vessel and cut it off from "ordinary women." But they miss one critical point that even their wives are women who cannot flee the fact that lib has taken place. We are not libs. Lib simply inhabits in the very difficulty women face in their lives. For every life of women to become lib. That is the sole condition for this world to become a truly humanitarian one. Now, a new image of woman is being created by career-ambitious women and some celebrity &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242297475_6"&gt;unwed mothers&lt;/span&gt;. This image, of economically and sexually independent woman, is a new makeup of postwar women, who were billed as becoming as strong as synthetic stockings. This means in turn, that less successful and imperfect women are left behind the makeup, grumbling only small weeds grow in the shadow. They try to fill up their frustration of not living their own lives by contributing more to order of the establishment. In this world where productivity comes first, those made to believe to be worthless, are sinners for their very existence. Seeking acquittal, they sacrifice themselves to the superficial ideal of society. So we see women who find their role in serving tea, saying they are happy if their tiny job makes everyone happy. Beyond this mentality are the specters of the militarist wives and mothers of yasukuni shrine honoring war-dead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberalization of women means liberalization of the mentality that honors sacrificial deaths. To this end our lib as a movement aims at economic and sexual independence for imperfect ordinary women, linking a woman with women. And so we say no to giving up men and kids for the sake of the cause of our movement. Instead of looking up to single special figure, women now need to stand shoulder to shoulder. I will dedicate this book first to my mother with a lot of thoughts I cannot turn to words. And then to the ex members of our collective and my lib friends who cared for my health and gave me their hands while I was writing this book. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CCOMPUT%7E2%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"&gt;&lt;/link&gt;&lt;link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CCOMPUT%7E2%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_editdata.mso" rel="Edit-Time-Data"&gt;&lt;/link&gt;&lt;link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CCOMPUT%7E2%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx" rel="themeData"&gt;&lt;/link&gt;&lt;link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CCOMPUT%7E2%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml" rel="colorSchemeMapping"&gt;&lt;/link&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Font Definitions */  @font-face 	{font-family:"Cambria Math"; 	panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; 	mso-font-charset:0; 	mso-generic-font-family:roman; 	mso-font-pitch:variable; 	mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1107304683 0 0 159 0;} @font-face 	{font-family:Calibri; 	panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; 	mso-font-charset:0; 	mso-generic-font-family:swiss; 	mso-font-pitch:variable; 	mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} @font-face 	{font-family:Verdana; 	panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; 	mso-font-charset:0; 	mso-generic-font-family:swiss; 	mso-font-pitch:variable; 	mso-font-signature:536871559 0 0 0 415 0;}  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-unhide:no; 	mso-style-qformat:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	margin-top:0in; 	margin-right:0in; 	margin-bottom:10.0pt; 	margin-left:0in; 	line-height:115%; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:11.0pt; 	font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; 	mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; 	mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; 	mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; 	mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoChpDefault 	{mso-style-type:export-only; 	mso-default-props:yes; 	mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; 	mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; 	mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; 	mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; 	mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoPapDefault 	{mso-style-type:export-only; 	margin-bottom:10.0pt; 	line-height:115%;} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arai Shin-ichi &lt;a href="http://cts.vresp.com/c/?GraceExhibitionSpace/4883af526b/3d4de9b7dd/3be33e4755" rel="nofollow" style="color: #bf0000; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242298140_7"&gt;www.araiart.jp/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;DIRECTIONS:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;J-M-Z train to &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1242298140_8"&gt;Flushing&lt;/span&gt; or Myrtle &lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp; walk 3 blocks east from Flushing, &lt;br /&gt;or 3 blocks west from Myrtle &lt;br /&gt;to &lt;br /&gt;#840 Broadway, 2nd Floor (btwn.

The bonds incorporate many of the details and security features that genuine &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234719553_7"&gt;government bonds&lt;/span&gt; use, including a holographic foil tape, microprinting and chemically sensitive watermark paper stock.

Following the performance Leonard will sell &lt;i style="font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Warbonds&lt;/i&gt; to the public, a process which involves multiple signatures, official embossed seals and a questionnaire.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="module image" style="clear: both;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Thomas Erben is excited to present a group of three artists who play with the poetics of relation, activating the spaces in between text, photography, painting, video, film and experience. Parallels, conundrums and paradoxes are the modus operandi used to illuminate the layered processes of making sense. Texts and still or moving images are partially erased, but then reappear in multiples, accretions or other media and slip back and forth between potential readings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://f521.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3316453%5fAHEwvs4AAPOzSZMzfgl993I9BoE&amp;amp;pid=2&amp;amp;fid=Inbox&amp;amp;inline=1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vijai Patchineelam&lt;/b&gt;'s (b. 1983, Rio de Janeiro) photographs and books trap objects, processes and the producer in a perpetual state of transit. Idea and result are conflated into a present continuous, which is both the impetus behind and the product of the work.&lt;i&gt; Arthur,&lt;/i&gt; a large-scale photograph depicting the artist's friend, turned away, bent forward beside a similarly figured painting, further confuses these relations: the subject's body starts to resemble the body of the painting and vice versa creating an oscillating and mutual transformation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;2007 BA, Industrial Design, School of Fine Arts at the Federal University of &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_2"&gt;Rio de Janeiro&lt;/span&gt;. 2008 "Frame Series" Bombay Art Gallery, Mumbai; "Zoation Painting" &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_3"&gt;National Museum of Arts&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_4" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; border-bottom: medium none; cursor: pointer;"&gt;La Paz, Bolivia&lt;/span&gt;; "1st Collective" Bienal EBA/UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro; Resident Artist, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_5" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Blanton Museum of Arts&lt;/span&gt;, Austin, TX; 2007 IV International Biennial of Bolivia, La Paz, where  he was awarded the Premio Unión Latina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://f521.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3316453%5fAHEwvs4AAPOzSZMzfgl993I9BoE&amp;amp;pid=3&amp;amp;fid=Inbox&amp;amp;inline=1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Blue Book, Moon Rock&lt;/i&gt; by&lt;b&gt; Sreshta Rit Premnath&lt;/b&gt; (b. 1979, Bangalore) consists of four parts: a photograph, a chalkboard, a screenprint and the light directed from a reeling projector onto silver-sprayed acetate. The repeated image of a moon rock is recontextualized by these shifting media. Man's romantic emotional attachment drew him to the moon only to bring home physical evidence completely devoid of the original impulse. Premnath is exactly interested in this gap where the parts point in the same direction but hardly reconcile. Juxtaposed with one image of the rock, Wittgenstein's quote from his Blue Book, "We ought to talk further on about the meaning of 'forgetting the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_6"&gt;meaning of a word&lt;/span&gt;'" - a promise made in the past to discuss the meaning of forgetting in the future - further enriches Premnath's elliptical approach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;2008 Whitney Museum of Art Independent Study Program; 2006 MFA, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_7"&gt;Bard College&lt;/span&gt;; 2003 BFA, The &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_8" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Cleveland Institute of Art&lt;/span&gt;; 2002 Fellow, Yale-Norfolk Painting Residency, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_9"&gt;Yale University CT&lt;/span&gt;; 2008 "&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_10"&gt;Mornings in Mexico&lt;/span&gt;" book project, Guangzhou Biennial, China; "Black Box&lt;i&gt;"&lt;/i&gt; (solo) Gallery SKE, Bangalore; "Unnamable Name" Københavns Hovedbibliotek, Copenhagen; 2007 "&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_11"&gt;Spectral Evidence&lt;/span&gt;" Rotunda Gallery, New York; 2006 "Yamini Nayar and Sreshta Premnath&lt;i&gt;,"&lt;/i&gt; Bose Pacia Gallery, New York.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://f521.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3316453%5fAHEwvs4AAPOzSZMzfgl993I9BoE&amp;amp;pid=4&amp;amp;fid=Inbox&amp;amp;inline=1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaret Vadera&lt;/b&gt; (b. 1976, Toronto) presents a fragmented, mixed media "decollage" of an image from a tiger hunt. Simultaneously layering and ripping through multiple levels of paint and paper, the artist adorned and destroyed the symbol of the dead tiger, reflecting the tension between the exotic and the real, fact and fiction. Similarly, Vadera's video mutates found footage - omitting, fragmenting and filtering data - revealing the space of transformation between reality, mediation and the cognitive system. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;2009 MFA Painting Candidate, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_12" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Yale School of Art&lt;/span&gt;. 2008 "Exploding the Lotus" &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_13"&gt;Art &amp;amp; Culture Center&lt;/span&gt; of Hollywood, FL; 2006 "Everything All at Once" Queens International, Queens Museum of Art, New York; 2005 "Night Shift" White Box, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_14"&gt;New York&lt;/span&gt;; 2005 "Fatal Love - &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_15"&gt;South Asian American Art&lt;/span&gt; Now" &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_16"&gt;Queens Museum of Art&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://f521.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f3316453%5fAHEwvs4AAPOzSZMzfgl993I9BoE&amp;amp;pid=5&amp;amp;fid=Inbox&amp;amp;inline=1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;In the&lt;b&gt; &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234720042_17"&gt;project space&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, Rafil Kroll-Zaidi (b. 1980, New Delhi) exhibits a selection of photographs of Bollywood film sets. The actors and extras, relaxed and out of character between shots, and the laborers, suddenly highly visible, contrast with the hyper-artificiality of the sets, allowing the images to explore the construction of the industry's vernacular. The artist also cites his longstanding interest in approaching light as a central narrative feature. In essence, the light source becomes like a character, whose primacy and subtle strangeness fundamentally change the emotional tone of the still image, transforming familiar and even clichéd stories into ambiguous, unknowable ones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;

Tout au long de ma vie, j'ai été exclus de l'expérience des femmes qui ont endurées les problèmes spécifiques et très personnels de l'abus, de la maladie, de la mort, de l'abandon, de la monoparentalité, de l'identité sexuelle et de la discrimination/préjudice associée au gendre... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0099cc; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 78%;"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.gallerygora.com/fr/current_fr.html#next" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233808440_2"&gt;suite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="6" src="http://www.gallerygora.com/images/points/point_red.jpg" width="6" /&gt; &lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For a good part of my childhood having been raised by two women who lived their lives with grace and strength in the face of their personal and familial struggles, my appreciation developed early. Throughout my life, I have been apart of the experiences of women who have endured the endemic and very personal issues of abuse, disease, death, abandonment, single parenthood, sexual identity, and the discrimination/prejudice associated with gender... &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0099cc; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 78%;"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.gallerygora.com/eng/current.html#next" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233808440_3"&gt;more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;img height="3" src="http://www.gallerygora.com/images/cuts/cut_blank2.gif" width="560" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;img height="3" src="http://www.gallerygora.com/images/cuts/cut_blank2.gif" width="560" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="190"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gallerygora.com/fr/current_fr.html#next" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="216" src="http://www.gallerygora.com/images/eflyer/jansons.jpg" width="190" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="line-height: 16px;" valign="top" width="410"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;B.

Diese bedeuten Kraft. Das Vielfältige beherrscht unser Alltagsleben. Das sieht man schon im  Lebensmittelgeschäft und am Arbeitsplatz, vor allem wenn man in einer Fabrik arbeitet und zu Hause, z.B. am gedeckten Küchentisch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Multiple Bilder auf Leinwand sind ein Typ abstrakte Kunst , welche Kraft hat, visuell zu anzuregen. In einem Zeitalter der Bilderflut und abnehmender Aufmerksamkeit, erzeugen Multiple Bilder auf Leinwand bei Zuschauer eine Art Bewegung innerhalb des festen Rahmens eines gemalten Werks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Ein gemaltes Bild das aus Multiple-Bilder besteht, kann sowohl aus der Nähe als auch aus der Ferne beobachtet werden. Wenn man ein Bild aus der Nähe betrachtet, sieht man es und kann entscheiden wem es ähnelt. Wenn man sich etwas von dem Bild entfernt, sieht man eine Wiederholung des Bildes und innerhalb dieses Zusammenhangs sieht man das Gemalte das sich bewegt, weil die Augen sofort nach Variationen suchen und das Gehirn das Gemalte als Ganzes in verschiedenen Richtungen aufnahmen kann und man findet Schicht für Schicht die Variation. Bei der Betrachtung dieser Bildkomposition entsteht kaum visuelle Müdigkeit wie häufig bei der konventioneller abstrakten Malerei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;---------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Eine meiner hauptsachlichen Tätigkeiten besteht darin, mit Leinwand und Papier zu arbeiten. Weiterhin beschäftige ich mich damit, Kongresse für Performance Kunst zu organisieren, Performance Kunst zu schaffen und schriftstellerisch zu arbeiten. Diese drei Hauptaktivitäten werden wähend dieser Ausstellung von Leinwand und Papier Arbeiten dargeboten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;---------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dienstag den 17.

Während des Essens am 17. Feb. 2009, werden ich einen Beitrag darüber leisten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Was ist Gallery SoToDo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Gallery SoToDo versteht sich als Verein, dessen Horizont global ist, die Betonung liegt auf international. Kunst zeigt sich in jeder Gemeinschaft, ist aber eine Welt-Sprache. Unsere Ziele werden realisiert durch das Voranbringen von internationalem Kulturaustausch und durch die Vernetzung von Kontakten zwischen KünstlerInnen und zwischen ihren Herkunftsorten auf der ganzen Welt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Gallery SoToDo stellt Werke verschiedener Kunstrichtungen, die sich als Performance-Kunst verstehen, aus. Erstmals gab es die Gallery SoToDo in Sacramento/USA, danach im März 1988 in Berlin. Seit über 20 Jahren wurde das ursprüngliche Konzept kaum verändert. Das Hauptziel war und ist, Räume zu schaffen, in denen internationale Performance-Künstler zusammenkommen, ihre Ideen und Arbeiten in unkommerziellem Ambiente zeigen, sich austauschen und über unterschiedliche Positionen diskutieren.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Gemeinsam haben in den achtziger Jahren Künstler festgestellt, dass ihre Arbeit nicht dem kommerziellen Kunsthandel entsprach. Stattdessen haben sie sich als Kollektiv vernetzt, um ihre Ziele besser zu erreichen und eine Plattform für ihre künstlerischen Ausdrück mit ihren persönlichen und materiellen Ressourcen zu schaffen.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In zwanzig Jahren der Gallery SoToDo führten die Städte Berlin und Sacramento mehrere Veranstaltungen durch. Die Realisierung einer Gallery-SoToDo-Veranstaltung ist auf ständige Veränderung angelegt. Dieses Konzept wurde bereits in mehreren Orten (wie z.B. Amsterdam, Krakow, Paris, Seoul, Münster und Montréal) verwirklicht. Dies bewirkt eine ständige Überschneidung neuer Ideen einer wachsenden Anzahl von KünstlerInnen, die auf diese Weise das Konzept von Gallery SoToDo in Fluss halten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Vor dem manchmal doch sehr unterschiedlichen soziokulturellen Hintergrund entsteht dadurch nicht nur eine sehr interessante Vielfalt von Kunsteindrücken und ihrer Mittel, sondern auch ein anregender Gedankenaustausch darüber, wie ein Thema in der jeweiligen Kultur wahrgenommen und in das Leben einer Gemeinschaft integriert wird. Deshalb finden neben den Ausstellungen und Vorführungen auch öffentliche Podiumsdiskussionen zum Thema statt, an denen sich jede(r) der KünstlerInnen und auch das anwesende Publikum beteiligen können. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Performance-Kunst ist unbegrenzt, hat keinen Anfang und kein Ende. Performance-Kunst ist ein Akt Kunst zu machen, vor Ort, im Moment. Sie ereignet sich. Es ist die Aufgabe des Projektleiters diese ephemeren Momente zu dokumentieren. Realisiert wird sie durch verschiedene Ausdrucksformen; Website-Übertragungen, Radiosendungen, Video-, Foto- und Katalog-Dokumentationen. Die gesamte Dokumentation unterstreicht die internationale Auswirkung des Kongresses in Berlin als Mittelpunkt der zeitgenössischen Kunst.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;---------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Meine zweite wertvolle Aktivitäten Ist Performance Kunst.  Seit über 20 Jahren habe ich an verschiedenen Performance Kunst Veranstaltungen in der Welt teilgenommen.  Im Febuar, stelle ich den ersten und zweiten Teil meiner neuen Performance Kunst Aktion vor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;---------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dienstag den 24. Feb. 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;19:30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Performance Kunst&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Titel: Color Shop Local 1 und 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;mit christA von Zeck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Konzept für Color Shop Local&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Jahre Lang folge ich dem Mythos um der Performance Kunst Gruppe Black Market International. Trotz all ihre grund liegende Innovationen in der siebziger Jahren in Bezug auf Kunst und das Konzept von Performance Kunst ist es erstaunlich das diese Performance Kunst Gruppe noch solch ein Mythos umgibt. Ich vermute er ist vergleichbar mit der Situation zu erste mal in einem Museum ein bewundertes Gemalte zu sehen, über das man vorher nur in Kunstbüchern gelesen  und darin gesehen hat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Black Market International wirkt wie ein Film aus den siebziger Jahren. Der Kontrast zu davor hergestellten Filme ist sehr auffällig. Man sieht heute in den Filmen der Siebziger die Neuerungen: die realistische Fabel, die einzigartige Kameraführung, Innenarchitektur und die bunte Mode. Zu der damalige Zeit, wiesen die Filme in eine Zukünfte die noch verwirklich werden sollten. Anderseits ist die Sozialmoral der Filme sexistisch, rassistisch und etwas Elitär geblieben. Und so empfinde ich es wenn ich mir Black Market International anschaue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Wir schaffen der Mittel für unsere Tätigkeit. Es ist verständlich, dass was vor dreizig Jahren geschaffen wurden, und Kontroversen bewirkt hatte, bewundert werden sollte.  Die Schaffer haben es verdient.  Das Publikum respektiert sie. Jedoch schafft Respekt, der in übermäßige Bewunderung ausartet, eine Elitär Situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Was das Publikum vor dreizig Jahren provozierte und Caberet-Volatire-ähnliche Situationen hervorrief und dazu führte, dass eine Gruppe schwarz gekleidete Männer, aber mit individuellen Kunststil, was man heute mit dem Begriff Fluxus bezeichnet, rief eine fruchtbare Diskussion innerhalb des westlichen Kunstwelt über die Rolle von Kunst und Kunstschaffende in der gegenwärtigen Kultur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Wie oft wollte ich in eine Black Market International Dabietung mit einem Farbanschlag einbrechen. Wie oft habe ich selbst wie sie provozieren wollen. Ihretwegen darf ich es jetzt. Jedoch mache ich es nicht. Warum? Die Mauer des Prespekts für Black Market International und für ihr Publikum kann nur schwer durchbrochen werden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Color Shop Local&lt;/b&gt;: als Gegensatz  zum Black Market International.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Fast zwanzig Jahre lang, trage ich schon die Farbe gelb. Diese Aktion bezeichne ich als dauerhafte Performance Kunst. Unter dem Motto: Performance Kunst hat weder Anfang noch Ende, soll es geschehen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wundern, Fragen und Sich Erinnern&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Wenn mich Leute zum erste Mal treffen, wundern sie sich warum ich Gelb trage.  Wenn wir uns zum zweiten Mal treffen, frage sie nach dem Grund und ich erkläre Ihnen mein Konzept. Sie denken über das, was ich mache, nach.  Wenn sie wieder die Farbe Gelb sehen, erinnern sie sich an mich. Also, war ich mit meiner Kunst erfolgreich.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Folglich bin ich ein geeigneter Kandidat dies auszudrücken und diese gegensätzlicher Performance Kunst Gruppe zu gründen. Bei dem ersten Treffen der Color-Shop-Local-Gruppe, schlage ich vor mehrere gelbe Bälle fallen zu lassen. Zum zweiten Teil des Abends habe ich christA von Zeck eingeladen, eine Künstlerin die auch seit Jahren nur einfarbig in Rot gekleidet ist, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;---------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Und schließlich noch das Ergebnis meine vierten Hauptbeschäftigung. Das Buch mit dem Titel: Kranke Sakramente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;---------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dienstag den 3. März 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Lesung aus dem Buch '&lt;b&gt;Kranke Sakramente'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;mit dem übersetzer des Buchs D. Almeling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kranke Sakramente&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Kranke Sakramente ist ein fiktionales Werk.  Ich bin in Kalifornien geboren und zog vor 25 Jahren nach Europa,  In diesem Zeitraum habe ich gesehen, wie in den USA bürgerliche Freiheiten immer mehr eingeschränkt wurden.  Ich habe erkannt, wie die von Bertram Gross in seinem Buch "Friendly Fascism" in den 80er Jahren enthalten Einschätzungen wahr geworden sind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Ich schrieb mein Buch als Warnung und wählte Sacramento in Kalifornien als sein topographisches Zentrum.  Als Hauptstadt des grossen Staates Kalifornien in der Weltsupermacht USA sollte Sacramento im Licht westlicher Standards ein Paradies sein.  Jedoch ist allzu viel des Guten schlecht. Langeweile und Frustration sind die Folge. Kalifornien ist gekennzeichnet durch verschiedene Religionen, Wirklichkeiten, Wohlstandsniveaus und klimatische Bedingungen. Auf nationaler Ebene wird Furcht als Kontrollmethode benutzt von dem ,kleinen Bündel von Ruten' und zwar aus dem Stadt den Medien und der Industrie. Dies liess das Klima eines freundlichen Faschismus entstehen, der anscheinend nur weniger bewusst geworden ist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Ich habe das Medium der Fiktion gewählt, um mein Anliegen einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zu vermitteln. Ich glaube, diese Kritik an der Lebensqualität der westlichen Welt ist notwendig.  Das Buch wurde geschrieben, um die Leser anzuregen, Fragen zu ihrer Zukunft zu stellen und dazu, wie sie diese gestalten wollen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;-----------------------english version----------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Winter greetings from Berlin!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;(deutsche text oben)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Your are cordially invitited&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;K-Salon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Bergmannstr. 54&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Ü-Bahn: Südstern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Berlin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;To  the exhibition of &lt;b&gt; Theodor di Ricco&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opening&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Friday the 13.

One sees it at the grocery store, At work, especially if one works at a factory producing one product and at home, for example, at a set kitchen table. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Multiple imagery on canvas is a type of abstract art work that has the power to stimulate visually. In an age of rapid imagery and diminishing attention spans. a multiple image on canvas provides the viewer with a sort of movement within the stagnate frame of a painted work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;A painting consisting of multiple images can be observed up close in as well as far away.  Viewing one image at close range, the viewer sees it and can decide what it resembles, stepping back the viewer sees the image repeated and within this context sees a painting that moves because the eye immediately looks for variations and the brain is stimulated by this search.  Further, the painting viewed as a whole can be read in various directions, the viewer finds layer after layer of variation. The painting lacks the visual fatigue that often occurs in abstract painting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Creating works on canvas and paper is one of my meaningful activities.  Organizing a congress for performance art, doing performance art and writing are three other activities. Along with an exhibition of work on canvas and paper, these three other meaningful activities will be on display.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tuesday the 17.

During the Exhibition at K-Salon, documentation about the Gallery SoToDo in the form of text, videos, photos will be on display. At the Dinner on the 17, Feb, I will  personally be able to talk about the history of Gallery SoToDo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is Gallery SoToDo&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Our scope and emphasis is international. Art reflects particular communities but is a language spoken by all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Performance Art is defined by the elements of time, space, variability and zeitgeist. It is an everyday experience.  It is unbound by a beginning or an end.  It happens.  One of the activities of Gallery SoToDo is organizing congresses for Performance Art in various cities around the world&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Gallery SoToDo brings together artists who differ in their distinct geographical and cultural temperaments, ensuring a constant flux of new ideas and an ever increasing range of participating artists who benefit from the development of Gallery SoToDo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Performance art can incorporate one medium or combinations of various media to transmit its message. It is the act of making art on site at the moment. Gallery SoToDo provides an environment where artists can explore new means of artistic expression in a noncommercial environment, communicate with each other, and pool together their personal and  artistic resources.  The benefits of this exchange, whether personal or artistic are a highly motivating factor and an existential aspect of the existence of Gallery SoToDo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Performance Art is an action which is declared by the artist who does it and understood by the observer who watches it.  It communicates a message. If it is done in an empty space, it will require documentation to deliver its message. The catalogs, the website and the membership magazines provide documentation of the activities of Gallery SoToDo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Performance Art is an act of service to society and to ourselves. It can and often does take the form of collective action. With the participation of over 1500 artists over 18 years, Gallery SoToDo has become a movement in art. As one of the first and longest lasting of this type of network, Gallery SoToDo embodies Performance Art.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;For years I have been following the mystic surrounding 'Black Market'. For all of their ground-breaking innovations in the seventies relating to art and the concept of performance art, it is amazing the mystic that now surrounds this performance art group. I suppose this mystic is similar to viewing an admired  painting for the first time at a museum which one has previously only read about in art books or seen elsewhere. One is in awe by it's weight in the context of art history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;----------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dienstag den 24. Feb. 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;19:30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Performance Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Titel: Color Shop Local 1 und 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;with christA von Zeck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Concept for Color Shop Local&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Watching Black Market perform is like watching a seventies film. The contrasts to films made earlier are striking. One views the film for it's innovations; the realistic story line, the unique camera angle, the interior design, the fashion. At the time, it predicted a future which was waiting to manifest. On the other hand, the film's social moral remains sexist, racist and somewhat elitist. And so is it when I watch Black Market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;But we are the means of our makings. It is very understandable that what was created thirty years ago and created much debate, should be admired.  Those who did it, deserve it. Those who observe it, their respect is given. However respect that borders on infatuation creates an elitist situation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;What provoked the public thirty years ago, creating Cabaret Voltaire like situations, a group of men dressed in black each with their performance art style which is now referred to as Fluxes, provoked a healthy debate within the western art world about the function of art and the creators of contemporary culture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;How often have I wanted to break into a Black Market Session with a riot of color.  How often have I wanted to provoke as they did.  Because of them, I can. However I do not. Why? The wall of respect for Black Market and for it's viewing public is difficult to break.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;That is why, in response to you festival theme, I propose the following performance concept:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Thus, in contrast to Black Market International,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;I propose &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Color Shop Local&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;For almost twenty years I have been wearing the color yellow.  I have declared this action a continuous performance art piece.  Under the motto, performance art does not have an beginning or end, it happens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wonder, Ask, Remember&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;The first time a person meets me, they wonder why I am dressed in yellow.  The second time we meet, they ask and I explain my concept. They think about what I do. The next time that person sees the color yellow, they remember me. Thus, I have succeeded in my art.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Therefore, I am a likely candidate for expressing this and assembling this contracting performance art group.  For the fist Color Shop Local, I propose to bounce several yellow balls. For the Color Shop Local 2, I have invited christA von Zeck, another artist who also has chosen a wear a color red as a continuous performance art action.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;-------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;and finally my fourth meaningful activity which will be on exhibit is the book entitled 'Sick Sacraments' whick I have written.  There will be a reading of the book on:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tuesday 3. März 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;Reading from  '&lt;b&gt;Sick Sacrament'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;with the translator Dietmar Almeling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sick Sacraments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;‘Sick Sacraments’ is a work of fiction.  I am native californian who migrated to europe 25 years ago. In this time I have seen how civil liberties in the USA are slowly being eroded away. I have seen how the assumptions made by Bertram Gross in the 80’s in his book ‘Friendly Fascism’ have become true.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;I wrote this book as a warning, using Sacramento as its topographical center.  As the capitol of the great state of California, in the world’s super power, the USA,  by western standards Sacramento should be paradise.  However, too much of a good thing is bad.  Boredom and frustration are the result. California is split by various religions, realities, levels of wealth and weather conditions. On a national level, fear is used as a method of control by that ‘small bundle of sticks’, i.e. from the state, the media and industry. This has created a climate of friendly fascism, of which few seem to be aware.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font: 12px Arial; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 78% Arial;"&gt;I have used fiction to  communicate my message to a broader public. I believe this critique on the quality of life in  the western world is currently needed.  It is written to provoke questions in readers’ minds about their future and how they want to shape it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233765034_0" style="font-size: 78%;"&gt;Dangerous Curve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 78%;"&gt; live artist duo ArsFidelis (Tim Quinn and Kathryn Hargreaves) are pleased to be part of the next Anatomy Riot.

To cite a potential contribution to one's &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233764251_5" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;national culture&lt;/span&gt; would have to be determinedly conceited. But, if one might be able to determine such a lofty yet necessarily foundational category, then one would have to support those who have been consistent, bold and willing to sustain its thankless, uphill climb, for all that it takes. Mideo Cruz has so far shown himself to be equal to this. The nationalist project of &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233764251_6" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Social Realism&lt;/span&gt; in the Philippines, which began in 1975, has found an appropriate bridge into the 21st century's vast, bewildering and fractured terrain in Mideo Cruz and his collective, The New World Disorder. - &lt;i&gt;Jose Tence Ruiz.

In response to the first appearance of the TED Conference in Long Beach this February, Super Elastic brings together large works from four Los Angeles-based artists whose work addresses our expanding visual landscape, propelled by advances in science and technology.  From the subatomic to the super galactic, imagery coming from electron microscopes and the Hubble telescope is now an integral part of the culture.  Quantum mechanics, relativity, the Big Bang, chaos theory, multi-dimensional math, etc., have all irrevocably shifted the consciousness of our society, even if many have little or no knowledge on the subjects.  Scientists and mathematicians are busily trying to solve the puzzles of the universe, and these four artists exploit these puzzles for all they're worth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Julia Latane's Blue Superstrings, inspired by the mind boggling concepts of string theory, springs from the wall and undulates to and fro.  Rebecca Niederlander's mobiles are clearly of the natural world, but their spindly rotating flourishes could go micro or macro, referring to plant structures or meteor showers.  Likewise, in wall drawings made with Mylar tape, Carrie Ungerman builds tension that evokes mighty asteroids colliding, or the tenderness of cell division.  Nolan's repeated triangle floor work plays with the geometry of crystal formations while conjuring a fourth dimension with its double-mirrored surfaces.  Although each artist is very literate in the history of pattern-based abstraction, conceptually and aesthetically, they are inspired by and draw liberally from an infinite pool of scientific inquiry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Timothy Nolan and Rebecca Niederlander Courtesy of Carl Berg Gallery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Dates: &lt;br /&gt;January 28 - March 10, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Location: &lt;br /&gt;Phantom Galleries LA on the Promenade &lt;br /&gt;170 North Promenade,  Long Beach, 90802 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Artist Contact:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;http://www.julialatane.com/ &lt;br /&gt;http://www.carrieungerman.com/carrie_ungerman/home.html &lt;br /&gt;http://timothynolan.com &lt;br /&gt;http://www.becster.org/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Partners &lt;br /&gt;"The Long Beach Redevelopment Agency is proud to partner with Phantom Galleries LA, not only to revive empty storefronts along our major corridors, but also to showcase the arts and build a sense of community and culture in our Downtown," said Craig Beck, Executive Director of the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency.

Inspired by the first appearance of the TED Conference in Long Beach, CA, this February, the exhibition recognizes the bridge between art and science and this rare opportunity for inspiring dialogue. Work by 20 cutting edge artists of established and emerging stars, will be contained within the spaces of The Pike. This exhibition combines a selection of artworks including paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, photographs and video, as well as an exciting program of special performances. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;The arts explore the liminal spaces that science is still unable to quantify, the various subjective explorations of human experience. Through unraveling and indexing of subjective inquiries in a shared reality, artists can inform scientific investigation with their most powerful tool: imagination. Intuitively, many artists look to science as a way of informing their practices. They revel in its mysteries, explanations and abstract theories.

Pine Ave, Long Beach 90802 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;What happens when painting attempts to do without the use of form? A better question might be, what happens when form is painting's goal? When form is the goal, paint serves to represent something else: an object, a view, a figure, a face. Considered this way, figurative painting is actually an abstraction of something "real." That frees Abstract painting to become the true realism, since Abstract painting is about the paint, and how paint never stops being paint.  But what if a painting could convey space without sacrificing paint always being paint? This would be painting with primary attention given to the paint as its own entity, yet still conveying spatial elements of form. The artists in this exhibition ask us to deal with their works on multiple levels. Their paint draws us in, while simultaneously the surfaces and forms come forward, thus using surface as a representation of space. The significance is immense. Illusionary space was the goal of all painters from the Renaissance up to Picasso, who redefined that goal with the dislocations of Cubism. Clement Greenberg's writing emphasized the philosophical underpinnings of Abstraction - of making art that is about the purity of material and process - so that a painting could become both subject and object.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;In the hands of the California fetish-finish artists of the 60's and 70's, this "objectiveness" resulted in surfaces refined to mimic the finish of a car in the Southern California car culture.  All of these historical elements blend with new ideas in the work of the abstract painters in this exhibition, who bring space back into the dialogue while using the surface as the abstracted object --thus bridging the gap between abstraction and realism in a way that continues the ongoing discourse of illusionary space.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Participating artists&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dennis Ekstrom,  Jimi Gleason, James Hayward, Andy Moses, John Scane and Roger Weik&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Andy Moses and Jimi Gleason courtesy of Samuel Freeman Gallery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;A version of this exhibit was originally  hosted at Pharmaka in Downtown Los Angeles info@pharmaka-art.org |&lt;span class="style4"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.%3ca%20rel=/" target="_blank"&gt;www.pharmaka-art.org&lt;/a&gt;/index.htm"&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 align="left" class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;"The Long Beach Redevelopment Agency is proud to partner with Phantom Galleries LA, not only to revive empty storefronts along our major corridors, but also to showcase the arts and build a sense of community and culture in our Downtown," said Craig Beck, Executive Director of the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency.  www.LongBeachRDA.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Special Thank you To the Pike at Rainbow Harbor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;VIEWPOINT &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;an installation by: &lt;br /&gt;Travis Frankel and Daniel Lehrer-Graiwer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Viewpoint is a site-specific architectural/video installation eleven feet high, eighteen feet wide and twenty feet deep that gives a free dose of sun, sea and sky to mall-goers.  Located at the Phantom Galleries LA Long Beach at the Pike at Rainbow Harbor, the work was created using wall panels from a currently vacant retail space elsewhere in the Pike.  The panels, which once hung clothes, have been reconfigured and reimagined as a deep space framing the sunset over Long Beach harbor.  Converging in single-point perspective and lifted into a steep incline, the groove-cut panels create ever-reducing concentric frames, exaggerating the perceived depth.  The video, playing on loop, was taken of the port from a point on axis with the current installation site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Artist Contact: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=tfrankel@gmail.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" ymailto="mailto:tfrankel@gmail.com"&gt;tfrankel@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Location: &lt;br /&gt;150 Bay St Long Beach, 90802&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;About the Artists:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Daniel Lehrer-Graiwer was born in Los Angeles.

Referring to the four chambers of the heart, this event showcases four collections illustrating the evolution of Christiana's work over time and across mediums. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Femme: This collection celebrates the female as the iconic figure of strength, nurture and beauty in community, friendship, and family. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abstraction: In these paintings the human figure is inferred. The series is a study of color, texture and design. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Embrace: In this expression of romantic love the forms depict affection, desire, and sensuality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Letters: A tribute to Valentine's Day this collection of miniatures was created specifically for this show and includes sketches, paintings and ceramics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;About Christiana &lt;br /&gt;Press Release&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Dates: &lt;br /&gt;February 7- March 15, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;Artist Reception: &lt;br /&gt;February 7, 2009  6-10pm &lt;br /&gt;Saturdays and by appointment or just stop by the gallery will be open regularly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Artist Contact: &lt;br /&gt;Christine Faraci &lt;br /&gt;310-490-6650 &lt;br /&gt;christine@faraciart.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ent.groundspring.org/EmailNow/pub.php?module=URLTracker&amp;amp;cmd=track&amp;amp;j=259389043&amp;amp;u=2761421" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;www.Farachiart.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="style4"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.%3ca%20rel=/" target="_blank"&gt;www.Farachiart.com&lt;/a&gt;/index.htm"&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In honor of Black History Month, Phantom Galleries LA Long Beach is proud to present:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Question Bridge: Black Males&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Work-in-Progress Video Project by&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chris Johnson and Hank Willis Thomas&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Long Beach 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;             &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Curated by Tricia Avant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Opening reception February 7th, 6pm-10pm, &lt;br /&gt;Pedestrian Viewing 24/7 during the month of February 2009. &lt;br /&gt;Location: 350 E. 3rd Street, Long Beach, CA 90802&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; "There is something called "black" in America and there is something called "white" in America, and I know them when I see them, but I will forever be unable to explain the meaning of them, because they are not real even though they have a very real place in my daily way of seeing, a fundamental relationship to my ever-evolving understanding of history, and a critical place in my relationship to humanity." &lt;br /&gt;-Carl Hancock Rux in &lt;i&gt;Everything but the Burden&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;At a time when black male identity has become a dominant theme in American socio/political culture, Question Bridge: Black Males brings a new perspective to this issue. Many black males who live their lives in working-class inner-city neighborhoods have very different views of the world, and themselves, than do blacks who spend all of their professional and social lives in white-dominated parts of our culture. This distinction complicates attempts to simplify what we generally consider to be obvious definitions of what it means to be "black" in America. The ascendency of Barack Obama to the Presidency is only the most striking example of this fact. &lt;br /&gt;Structured as an experiment, Question Bridge: Black Males uses the deceptively simple act of asking a question as the channel for expression and insight across significant human divisions. The participants were invited to video record a sincere question of other black men from whom they felt distinctly different. In turn they agreed to answer a question on video asked of them. Often these men didn't know each other and most were in different cities. The idea is that if you feel safe enough to ask a deeply held question, you are saying in effect "This is something I do not know about you, please help me understand." If the question is meaningful you are much more likely to listen respectfully to a sincere attempt to answer. &lt;br /&gt;Having recently completed the first phase of this project Chris Johnson and Hank Willis Thomas traveled to Birmingham Alabama, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and New York and filmed over 60 black men ranging from judges to ex-cons, athletes to engineers, well-known actors to factory workers, Reverends to teens, and even recently arrived Africans to 9th generation citizens. This brought the full spectrum of what it means to be "black" and "male" to the forefront. In this context "Blackness" ceases to be a simple, monochromatic concept. &lt;br /&gt;What is it that so radically divides black men of different cultural frameworks? African-American men must find ways to address these questions with their own voices.

I believe that in the coming days and years we will be inspired to work together to harvest this bounty for the benefit of us all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;My work with sheets grew out of my thinking about my mother's efforts at maintaining aesthetic order in her home-even if the rest of the house is a wreck, she wants her linen closet to be beautiful when she opens the door. Similarly, I construct formal arrangements from bed linens, particularly sheets and pillowcases. I fold and pile these sheets on simple shelves or chairs, as well as on and around the significant or quirky architectural features of an exhibition space. I think of these folding and stacking activities as akin to creating paintings with brush and canvas. The interactions among color combinations, printed patterns, and folding systems become visually engrossing and reference abstract or minimalist paintings. &lt;br /&gt;However, because I am using these non-traditional materials that are so intimately connected with human bodies, the works are also infused with the memories and habits of their previous owners. But since these previous owners are strangers, there is no great-aunt or grandmother to tell me the story associated with the object. These histories are lost, so the sheets become material for pieced together, re-imagined histories, including the narrative of my own processes of folding, stacking, and layering. Whether piled in the awkward corners of a room or layered on a shelf, the sheets are reminders of a variety of human activities: sleeping, dreaming, housekeeping, lovemaking, birthing, dying, etc. They offer us a glimpse into the linen closets of other people and other times and remind us of our own experiences in the comforting confines of bed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Dates &lt;br /&gt;Januray 10 - February 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Curated by &lt;br /&gt;Liza Simone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Artist Contact &lt;br /&gt;mariahjohnson.com &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Location &lt;br /&gt;340 E 3rd St &lt;br /&gt;Long Beach, CA 90802&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Todd Brainard &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Todd Brainard's new paintings offer a refined and sharpened take on a topic which becomes more pertinent every day: the intersection of natural and built environments. Using imagery derived from the Southern California landscape, Brainard operates as a privileged and influential observer, offering an individualistic look at semi-open spaces and the constructs of man that alter them. And though the look is decidedly SoCal, these types of scenes are common enough nearly anywhere. Humans plan and build. Nature quietly accommodates. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;But if the subjects of these paintings seem ordinary, the handling is not. In his multifaceted approach, Brainard revels in colliding seemingly disparate conventions of art practice. Photography and realism are asked to hold hands with irrational color and dashes of painterly reduction. Documentation is forced to compromise with the limits and preferences of memory. Traditional conventions of landscape painting shack up with the 21st Century. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;The confluence of all these seemingly dissonant elements should be chaotic, but Brainard's work offers a strange sort of pictorial serenity not normally associated with oil derricks or an acrid green sky. In scenes rather more remembered than as if actually viewed, the paintings remind us of our queer ability to ignore, acquiesce to, be stimulated by, or even find beauty in situations so clearly lacking a cogent master plan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;What, then, to make of this apparent contradiction? Perhaps it's only natural. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Dates: &lt;br /&gt;December 20 thru January 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Artist Reception: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Curated by &lt;br /&gt;Liza Simone &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Artist contact &lt;br /&gt;toddbrainard.com &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Location &lt;br /&gt;344 E 3rd St &lt;br /&gt;Long Beach, CA 90802&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;STATION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Kaleidoscopic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Kaleidoscopic is an installation combining seemingly disparate media. Walls are covered with hand-made wallpapers as well as discrete art objects (paintings and drawings). A mural covers the rear wall, camouflaging the architectural features. All of the elements draw heavily from patterns. The motifs range from optical designs reminiscent of psychedelia to simple checkerboard grids, ubiquitous in everyday existence. These patterns, often layered one atop the other, unify the installation with each element melting into the next. &lt;br /&gt;While themes of interest include reproduction, decoration, and authorship, Kaleidoscopic is, above all, about perception and the act of looking. Utilizing optical patterns, intense colors, and a "more is more" philosophy, the installation transforms the gallery space into an environment that inundates the viewer with phenomenological imagery, perhaps to the point of disorientation. Ideally, the effect is one that compels the eye as much as it overwhelms it. Along with this abundance of visual information comes a heightened awareness of one's own perception and the environment around them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;STATION is an art collective based in Los Angeles, California. &lt;br /&gt;Dates &lt;br /&gt;Januray 10 - February 2009 &lt;br /&gt;Reception: January 24 , 2009 6-9 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Artist Contact &lt;br /&gt;Station@yahoo.com &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/stationla"&gt;www.myspace.com/stationla&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Location &lt;br /&gt;340 E 3rd St &lt;br /&gt;Long Beach, CA 9080&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Edgar Varela Fine Arts is currently curating 390 3rd Street More info TBA. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;EdgarVarelaFineArts.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Downtown LA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Kim Abeles curated by Edgar Varela Fine Arts in Downtown LA for the February Art Walk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Katalyst curating PE Lofts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tim Nolan at the Title Guarantee Building Extended. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="style9"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Several spaces are still TBA but will be ready for the opening night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;---- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOLOEXHIBITION &lt;br /&gt;1+1=3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lokasi: Katalis Art Forum &lt;br /&gt;(gedung ex-patung, komplek Jogja National Museum) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;durasi: 31 Januari - 4 Februari 2009 &lt;br /&gt;Pembukaan 31 Januari 2009, 19.30 WIB &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;partisipan: Asia Andrzejka Amorin, Anditapurna, Arieza Tri &lt;br /&gt;Purnawinasih, Arista Nurlinawati, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233771054_0" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Budi&lt;/span&gt; Asih,  Dwi Kartika &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233771054_1" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Rahayu&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;br /&gt;Fanti Sulistianingsih, Ferial Afiff, Fithrie Shakira Sanz, Hikmah &lt;br /&gt;Setia, Mikro Baselgia, Nissak Latifah, Renie 'emonk' Agustine, Pitra &lt;br /&gt;Ayu, Puji Rahayu, Ria Riftanti, Rina Kusumastuti dan Suciati Amanah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;____________________________________________________________________________ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOLOEXHIBITION &lt;br /&gt;1+1=3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pameran yang dinamakan 'soloexhibition' ini tidak memiliki pengertian &lt;br /&gt;seperti umumnya yakni pameran tunggal, tetapi pengertiannya adalah &lt;br /&gt;kolaborasi sejumlah perupa yang menjadi satu kesatuan; ketunggalan. &lt;br /&gt;Asia Andrzejka Amorin dan Mikro Baselgia asal Swiss, menginisiasi &lt;br /&gt;pameran ini bersama enam belas seniman perempuan Jogjakarta. &lt;br /&gt;Seniman-seniman yang diajak haruslah perempuan, karena baik Andrzejka &lt;br /&gt;dan Mikro merasa bahwa sebagian besar pameran-pameran yang mereka &lt;br /&gt;datangi dipenuhi oleh kaum laki-laki. Hingga munculah pertanyaan, &lt;br /&gt;dimanakah para seniman perempuan berada?  Pertanyaan ini akhirnya &lt;br /&gt;dijawab dengan mengajak para seniman perempuan untuk berkolaborasi, &lt;br /&gt;menyajikan karya bersama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melalui Nissak Latifah dan Dwi Kartika Rahayu didapatlah enam belas &lt;br /&gt;seniman perempuan lainnya, yakni: Anditapurna, Arieza Tri &lt;br /&gt;Purnawinasih, Arista Nurlinawati, Budi Asih,  Fanti Sulistianingsih, &lt;br /&gt;Ferial Afiff, Fithrie Shakira Sanz, Hikmah Setia, Renie 'emonk' &lt;br /&gt;Agustine, Pitra Ayu, Puji Rahayu, Ria Riftanti, Rina Kusumastuti dan &lt;br /&gt;Suciati Amanah. Mereka kemudian dinamakan Schöb; yang berarti indah, &lt;br /&gt;bagus dan cantik. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eksekusi karya tidak dibatasi konteks tertentu, bebas untuk &lt;br /&gt;menampilkan karya dalam bentuk apapun, serta tema apapun. Prosesnya &lt;br /&gt;dengan beberapa pertemuan, masing-masing saling berbagi mengenai karya &lt;br /&gt;yang akan mereka tampilkan. Hasilnya, karya lukis, drawing, instalasi, &lt;br /&gt;objek, video dan performans tersaji dengan selera yang tidak biasa, &lt;br /&gt;alias 1+1=3. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kemudian, setelah melihat beberapa bentuk ruang, maka terpilihlah &lt;br /&gt;gedung ex-patung komplek Jogja National Museum, dimana kini berada &lt;br /&gt;dibawah naungan Katalis Art Forum. Bagaimanakah hasilnya? Silahkan &lt;br /&gt;menikmati karya-karya mereka pada tanggal 31 Januari – 4 Februari &lt;br /&gt;2009!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;---- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;Info from Japan:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;Seiji Shimoda presents; Performance Art Today, NIPAF Today vol.6Jan. 21 (Wed) 22 (Thu) at 7pm- 9:30pmKid Ailack Art Hall (2-43-11, Matsubara, Stagaya-ku, Tokyo.

He has been a link between the North American and Japanese experimental media communities for over forty years, spending time and making work in both New York and Tokyo.Iimura will discuss his use of small-gauge film and his body of work as a whole after performing White Calligraphy. This piece reworks a film initially made in 1967 by writing/scratching the characters of the "Kojiki", the oldest story in Japan, directly onto 16mm black leader (now reduced to Super 8). The language flows by at one character per frame. Iimura handholds the Super 8 projector, varying the the speed and angle at will. The result anthro¬pomorphizes the iconographic characters of the story, animating language into a visual dance.

Zona combines the disparate elements of Vincenzo Bellini, Tennessee Williams, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and a wild take on blue screen puppet theatre to create a show that incorporates their unique blend of music hall, high drag and stunning video design.THE NEEDLE EXCHANGE9PM, THE CABARETCurated and hosted by Dora Mavor Moore Award nominee Keith ColeDifferent line-up every nightThe Needle Exchange is a controversial social policy, based on the philosophy of harm reduction but it is also a 30 minute variety show curated and hosted by Dora Award nominee Keith Cole, whose practice is based on the ancient philosophy of the flamboyant and irreverent. The Needle Exchange features a teasingly healthy dose of music, comedy, magic, politics, art and titillating pointed conversation. The Needle Exchange is where Speed rules and Time is the ultimate enemy. Keith Cole is back with something new and different every single night featuring a line up of stellar Canadian glitterati presented in a sterile, clinical &amp;amp; clean environment for your comfort, but you will be allowed to misbehave (because we know you want to).

This is also an evocative visual art installation/interactive performance where the audience engages fully with the work and becomes a part of the installation itself. This work examines the performative nature of human relationships and the power of play within relational performance. Complete with costumes, lines and gestures, it mimics a familiar 'and familial' setting while reinventing an established "normal" relationship, exploring and confounding the line between audience and performer. Mothering makes the audience, and thereby the community in which it is presented, significant in the process and within the art itself. It asks the audience to go on a trip with Moynan King, to tell the story with her, to be completely present in the creation and consumption of art.Moynan King is a Toronto based performer, director, writer and curator. Moynan's interactive performance installations include The Beauty Salon, Walk In Clinic (created in collaboration with pop art duo Trixie &amp;amp; Beever,), and The Invitation, and The Unsuspecting Audience (collaborations with visual artist, Sherri Hay). Moynan's new performance installation, Mothering, is the focus of a residency at Studio 303. Moynan's solo and collaborative stage performances have been shown across Canada and the US. She is an accomplished theatre director and the author of several plays. Also an actor, Moynan has over fifty professional film, theatre and TV credits. Moynan is the director of Hysteria: A Festival of Women was director and co-director of the Rhubarb!Festival of New Plays for a total of 7 years. She is currently Associate Artist at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto.articule 262, Fairmount ouestMontréal (Québec) H2V 2G3T: 514-842-9686 &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/mc/compose?to=info@articule.org"&gt;http://www.blogger.com/mc/compose?to=info@articule.org&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.articule.org/"&gt;http://www.articule.org/&lt;/a&gt;Heures d'ouverture: mer - ven 12h -18h, sam/dim 12h -17hOpening hours: wed - fri 12 - 6 pm, sat/sun 12 - 5 pm&lt;br /&gt;++++The Third Space presents Sandra JohnstonDate: January 14-February 6, 2009; Source: Sandra JohnstonSandra JohnstonBreathing BackwardsPrivate ViewTuesday 13th January 6-8pmthe third space 14.01.09-06.02.09the third space is pleased to present an exhibition of new drawings by Sandra Johnston. These drawings are created in a variety of different ways: beginning with road drawings made directly while walking through a familiar landscape, notational and rapid, they interlock the momentum of walking with the attempt to pin down what is observed and then obscured from moment to moment. Another series of drawings were developed at Multyfarnham Monastry during a short residency in the summer of 2008. At the centre of the Monastery building, lies an enclosed garden. Johnston used this contemplative space as a source of visual stimulus which was merged with experiments in breathing and meditation.Referring to the title of the show Johnston explains “Breathing Backwards comes from a sense of introversion which frequently invades me as I draw, when I experience evocative memories brought back sharply into the present. Breathing is a mechanism of measurement and control that I use in all aspects of my performance and drawing work, these drawings are a document of self learning, self will perhaps. Measuring out inhalation and exhalation, sometimes becomes so intense it feels suffocating”For information, contact:www.thethirdspacegallery.com The Third Spacesuite 11&amp;amp;12, scottish mutual building16 donegall square south, belfast bt1 5jaGallery Opening Hours: Monday-Friday 11am-5pm, Closed 1pm-2pm, Saturday by Appointment &lt;br /&gt;++++Live Performance and Conference (and other events) Date: January 22-25, 2009; Source: Performancelogiare.act.feminism – performance art of the 60's and 70's todayDecember 13, 2008 through February 8, 2009Exhibition and Video Archive (including Performance Saga Interview 01–08)January 22-25, 2009Live-Performances and ConferenceIncluding among others a performance by Andrea Saemann, a Performance Saga live-interview with Sanja Ivekovic, and Chris Regn talking about performance, archive and copyright.Venue: Akademie der Künste, Hanseatenweg 10, 10557 BerlinFor further information and detailed program, please visit: &lt;a href="http://www.adk.de/reactfeminism/"&gt;http://www.adk.de/reactfeminism/&lt;/a&gt;Performance Saga Festival-LausanneFebruary 12-14, 2009Curated by Katrin Grögel and Andrea Saemann, Basel in collaboration with Arsenic Lausanne/Sandrine Kuster; Open Dialogues/Mary Paterson and Rachel Lois ClaphamPerformances by Katia Bassanini (CH/US), Stuart Brisley (UK), Tania Bruguera (CU/US), Robin Deacon (UK), Esther Ferrer (FR), Anna Geering &amp;amp; Jo Dunkel (CH), Monika Günther &amp;amp; Ruedi Schill (CH), MIRZLEKID (CH), Simone Rüssli (CH/ES), Andrea Saemann (CH)Venue and tickets:Arsenic-Centre d'art scénique contemporainRue de Genève 57, Lausanne&lt;a href="http://www.theatre-arsenic.ch/site_arsenic/fiches/fiches08_09/performance.htm"&gt;http://www.theatre-arsenic.ch/site_arsenic/fiches/fiches08_09/performance.htm&lt;/a&gt;Performance SagaAndrea Saemann and Katrin Grögelwww.performancesaga.ch&lt;a href="mailto:Gr%C3%B6gelwww.performancesaga.chcontact@performancesaga.ch"&gt;mailto:Grögelwww.performancesaga.chcontact@performancesaga.ch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++Dare-Dare Off-Biennial ProjectDate: Deadline January 30, 2009; Source: dare-dareCall for projects for the DARE-DARE Off-Biennial ProjectSubmission deadline: January 30, 2009Off-Biennial date: May 22-31, 2009To compliment the upcoming Montreal Biennial with its theme of “Open Source” DARE-DARE has chosen to organize the Off-Biennial Project event. This event will celebrate diverse artistic practices in non-traditional venues through a series of small projects installed or performed throughout a ten-day program.The mandate of DARE-DARE, Dis/location, a project of urban articulation, is to promote artistic interventions within the urban environment. In July 2008, DARE-DARE launched the third Dis/location site by moving its administrative office into two mobile trailers within Cabot Square (corner Atwater and Ste-Catherine Streets). This busy public park is located in the west-end of downtown Montreal. (For more details on the park the environs and the center check out the DARE-DARE website at www.dare-dare.orgOff-Biennial Project is looking for projects that integrate the surroundings of the Cabot Square, which include non-traditional venues in the neighbouring locations of the Montreal Children's Hospital, AMC Forum, Alexis Nihon Plaza, Atwater Library, Evangel Pentecostal Church, the Inuit Center, YMCA, Dawson College, Westmount Square and/or the DARE-DARE Documentation Centre. The park is also utilized by diverse populations including staff and visitors to the above venues along with the local homeless population that claims the park as their own. These locations, organizations and people could be considered as themes or suggested points of departure for your project. Projects should be simplified, spontaneous, small: thoughts and ides with an eye to public and commercial spaces and a hunger for locations with potential yet to be tasted. These interests will translate into proposals of all kinds including, but not limited to and even combinations of, relative, time based, public interventions, interactive workshops, performance, manœuvre, web, video, installation, sound, photography, painting, sculpture, poetry, text-based, music, etc. The projects may be of specific or of variable duration or be repeated throughout the program (ten minutes or ten days). Note the program committee will make every effort to liaison with specific venue locations to realize your project.Your proposal should include the following:-a brief statement describing your project intention (max 250 words)-CV-documentation of your work:-maximum 10 numbered images (max 5 Mg)-audio/video (VHS/DVD, NTSC, ou Quicktime) (max 5 min.) -descriptive list of imagesPlease address your proposal to "Off-Biennial project" and, if desired, enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return of your documentation (DARE-DARE does not keep unclaimed dossiers). The center does not accept submissions by email. The center pays CARFAC rates.

These can be re-enactments, recreations, comments or even projects inspired/influenced by work made by others.Key site of investigation in this year's festival is the critical approach developed by the French curator and art critique Nicolas Bourriaud in his book 'Post-production'. 'Since the early nineties, an even increasing number of artworks have been created on the basis of preexisting works; more and more artists interpret,reproduce, re-exhibit, or use works made by others or available cultural products. The material they manipulate is no longer primary. It is no longer a matter of elaborating a form on the basis of a raw material but working with objects that are already in circulation on the cultural market, which is to say, objects already informed by other objects. Notions of originality and even of creation are slowly blurred in this new cultural landscape'. (Bourriaud, 2005:7).CALL FOR PERFORMANCES:Artists are invited to create a performance based upon pre-existing art works or performances.In order to participate in OPA 0.2 Performance Festival, you have to submit an application containing the following:1.

The institutions of opera, dance and theatre &lt;br /&gt;keep certain cultural traditions alive by offering a platform for new interpretations. Yet the audiences &lt;br /&gt;are changing, in particular their knowledge of such traditions and their habits of perception. In &lt;br /&gt;established as well as in experimental theatre, dramaturgy needs to develop strategies to implement &lt;br /&gt;aesthetically and culturally ambitious projects despite difficult conditions of production and reception. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are dramaturgs doing within an environment that is no longer bound exclusively to a dramatic &lt;br /&gt;text and its author; within a working situation that becomes more and more collective; and within a &lt;br /&gt;creative process that may include performance, dance, and media art as well as a critical reflection on &lt;br /&gt;the politics of space and representation? What institutional pressures and pedagogical expectations are &lt;br /&gt;involved in the theory and practice of dramaturgy today? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the international conference "European Dramaturgy in the 21st Century", held in &lt;br /&gt;Frankfurt/Main in September 2007, this issue of Performance Research interrogates contemporary &lt;br /&gt;dramaturgy as an expanding field of practices and skills, problems and strategies. It seeks to explore &lt;br /&gt;the pedagogical and institutional aspects of European dramaturgy and asks how and where the changes &lt;br /&gt;in dramaturgical practice actually take place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Issue Editors invite contributions that address any or all of the following areas: &lt;br /&gt;-current developments and changes in European theatre and its consequences for dramaturgical work &lt;br /&gt;-practices of dramaturgy in fine arts, film, music, dance, performance and media art, and &lt;br /&gt;interventionist work of all kinds &lt;br /&gt;-dramaturgical work as a collective practice &lt;br /&gt;-approaches to teaching dramaturgy in academic institutions and art schools &lt;br /&gt;-national and international networks for dramaturgs &lt;br /&gt;-dramaturgy responding to and challenging the needs of established institutions &lt;br /&gt;-the practice of dramaturgy in relation to a politics of representation &lt;br /&gt;-the relationship between dramaturgical practice and the audience: dramaturgies of/for the spectator &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'On Dramaturgy’ invites artists, practitioners and theorists to submit critical articles, documents, or &lt;br /&gt;artist's pages that reflect on the challenges that contemporary forms of theatre and performance &lt;br /&gt;impose on dramaturgical practice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deadlines for the issue 14:3 are as follows: &lt;br /&gt;Proposals: &lt;st1:date day="9" month="1" year="2009"&gt;January 9th 2009&lt;/st1:date&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Draft manuscripts: &lt;st1:date day="4" month="3" year="2009"&gt;March 4th 2009&lt;/st1:date&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Finalized material: &lt;st1:date day="4" month="5" year="2009"&gt;May 4th 2009&lt;/st1:date&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Publication Date: September 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that the transfer of the Administration of the Journal from Dartington to Aberystwyth is &lt;br /&gt;effective from July 2007.

The goal is to open up for embracing atmosphere of a collective &lt;br /&gt;happening: experimental space for dynamical continuums, movement, meeting and connectedness in &lt;br /&gt;and between bodies, consciouness, meaning and potential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The starting points for the concept of the project: &lt;br /&gt;*Social Choroegraphy (Michael Klien &amp;amp; Steve Valk) &lt;br /&gt;*Social Dreaming (Gordon Lawrence ) &lt;br /&gt;*Relational Aesthetics (Nicolas Bourriaud) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working team of the UNI_Q Live Media Installation: &lt;br /&gt;Dreams and Voices &amp;amp; Dreams OpenAir -Public Microphone: uni_q -network (=all participants, YOU!) &lt;br /&gt;Concept, leading, production, sound design &amp;amp; dj: Sini Haapalinna &lt;br /&gt;Media design &amp;amp; programming: Markku Nousiainen &lt;br /&gt;Live overhead projections: Ulla-Maija Alanen &lt;br /&gt;Sound design, scapes, music &amp;amp; dj: Samuli Kytö &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multimedia Installation Setup: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Interactive multilayered (real time with near real time) video projection (laptop, Isadora software, &lt;br /&gt;projector, video camera, infrared lights, etc) &lt;br /&gt;-Waterbed (fluid and body-temperatured projection surface, interface and emmersive environment for &lt;br /&gt;listening of the sonic play - sonic play outputs: wireless headphones &amp;amp; genelecs &amp;amp; live streaming for &lt;br /&gt;internet) &lt;br /&gt;-Dream Jockeys (DJs) mixing a real time sonic play (audio materials: public open call for dreams in text &lt;br /&gt;and audio formats mixed together with other sonic materials, example, ive wind harps, simple &lt;br /&gt;electronic devices, instruments, and real time speaks) &lt;br /&gt;- Dream Vision Jockey (VJ), live overhead projections, projected to the ceiling above / space around the &lt;br /&gt;waterbed (materials: liquids, colored plastics, colors, drawings, writings, etc). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVENT: Lilith Performance Studio present Ewa Rybska &amp;amp; Wladyslaw Kazmierczak (&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Sweden&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;) &lt;br /&gt;DATE: &lt;st1:date day="6" month="12" year="2008"&gt;December 6, 2008&lt;/st1:date&gt;: Source: Lilith Performance Studio &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On December 6, Lilith Performance Studio presented a new performance work by Ewa Rybska &amp;amp; &lt;br /&gt;Wladyslaw Kazmierczak. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please visit our website to see documentation, films, artist interviews and more: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lilithperformancestudio.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.lilithperformancestudio.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lilith Performance Studio is the first combined production studio and arena for performance in &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;Since the start in January 2007 we have presented more than 30 artists from &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Denmark&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, The Philippines, &lt;br /&gt;Fi! nland, The Netherlands, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Indonesia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Iceland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Canada&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Norway&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Sweden&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in 13 solo productions and &lt;br /&gt;one festival. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABOUT THE ARTISTS: &lt;br /&gt;Ewa Rybska and Wladyslaw Kazmierczak, from &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Poland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, are two of the most prominent performance &lt;br /&gt;artists in the world. They have since the seventies produced performance and made hundreds of pieces &lt;br /&gt;all over the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For artists Eva Rybska and Wladyslaw Kazmierczak, performance is "an attitude towards the world and &lt;br /&gt;oneself, not towards art". They look upon performance as a struggle to express momentous and &lt;br /&gt;significant ideas, and in their work they do not avoid or hesitate being political. Their performances &lt;br /&gt;enlighten and irritate questions surrounding ideologies from Stalinism (To be or not to be a &lt;br /&gt;Cosmopolitan) to techno music (Ecstasy). The performance presentation is explosive, with a childlike &lt;br /&gt;curiosity and humour in direction of a personal definition of freedom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wladyslaw Kazmierczak (b.1951) Lives in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;UK&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.

The workshop prepares the body to be an instrument for sound and to explore the integration of voice and movement along with exercises and games in rhythm and sound improvisation. Subsequently, participants engage in a broad exploration of the meeting of music and improvisation, where the two forms inform, rather than accompany each other.When and Where: Sat, Nov 22, 10am-5pmThe Citadel, 304 Parliament St South of Dundas (Toronto)Cost $40 ($20 deposit on registration)For more information and to register:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=admin@humansoundart.ca" ymailto="mailto:admin@humansoundart.ca"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;admin@humansoundart.ca&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;or call 416-360-6665www.humansoundart.ca++++&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;Art Happens 8 (Kingston, Ontario)&lt;/span&gt; Date: November 26, 2008; Source: Clive RobertsonWednesday November 26, 7:30pmArt Happens 8Annual Performance Art EventMemoryworks by:Emily CohnGenna KuschVanessa NollerMary MacdonaldPatricia MaderJennifer ProvostMin ShinTim SimpsonKeith SkeltonPaisley SmithJulia StephensMorgan WedderspoonUnion Gallery, Stauffer LibraryQueen's University (Kingston, Ontario)Co-sponsored by Department of ArtCurated by Clive Robertson++++&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;Performance Saga Festival-BONE 11&lt;/span&gt; Dates: December 3–6, 2008: Source: Andrea SaemannCurated by Katrin Grögel and Andrea Saemann, BaselOrganized in collaboration with Norbert Klassen, Peter Zumstein and Schlachthaus Theater BernVenue and tickets:Schlachthaus Theater Bern, Rathausgasse 20/22, 3011 Bern, +41 31 312 96 47,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.schlachthaus.ch/sp/index.php" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;http://www.schlachthaus.ch/sp/index.php&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt; ProgramWednesday, Dec. 37 pm, DVD-Launch, Performance Saga Interviews 06-08: Joan Jonas, Martha Rosler, Alison Knowles8 pm, Performances: Alison Knowles (US) &amp;amp; Die Maulwerker (DE)Thursday, Dec. 48 pm, Performances: Gaspard Buma (CH), Irene Loughlin (CA) &amp;amp; Jorge Manuel de Leon (GT), Carolee Schneemann (US)Friday, Dec. 58 pm, Performances: Martha Rosler (US), Peter Vittali (CH), Wagner-Feigl-Forschung (AT/DE)Saturday, Dec. 68 pm, Performances: Muda Mathis (CH), Sands Murray-Wassink &amp;amp; Robin Wassink-Murray (NL), Annie Sprinkle &amp;amp; Elizabeth Stephens/directed by Patty Gallagher (US)Viewing of the Performance Saga Interviews 01-08, daily from 7pm and after the performances.Open DialoguesOpen Dialogues is a joint project initiated by Mary Paterson and Rachel Lois Clapham (London).

The first edition was characterized by a unique convivial atmosphere and provided a space for exchange and spontaneity thanks to the collective activation of a central location. Inspired by the success of the first edition, the six artist-run centers have set up a second VIVA! Art action event, wishing to renew their commitment to art that manifests itself in the «here and now»!VIVA! invites local, national and international artists, collectives, curators and theorists to submit proposals for performances, happenings, actions, infiltrations, public and participative interventions, workshops and debates. Residencies or durational works whose timelines (up to 4 weeks) overlap with the festival will also be considered. We encourage projects that address the issues and specificity of various contexts, inscribing themselves in storefront and gallery spaces, community centers, concert venues, public space, the private sphere or in non-site...VIVA! respects the artist fee rates established by RAAV/CARFAC 2008.Your submission must include:A Curriculum VitaeAn artist statement and a project description specifying spatial and technical needs  (max. 2 pages)A maximum of 20 digital images on a CD and/or a maximum of 1 DVDA descriptive list of the visual material (title, date, duration etc.)Please send your submission to:VIVA!

It is initiated and run by local artists who work in their communities to create projects that open up spaces, however small, for self-expression and discourse. As an organization, it operates fluidly, utilizing and forming networks according to necessity. It is therefore an organization close to the ground, highly adaptable, connected and efficient in the restrictive social context of Myanmar.  Our foremost aim is to develop the Myanmar performance art scene by creating a festival where foreign and local artists can exchange ideas through workshops, symposia and performances. There is an emerging performance art scene in Myanmar, which remains relatively unknown since there are few chances for Myanmar artists and artists from other countries to meet. Therefore Beyond Pressure offers an important opportunity for artists to network.  Another aim is to expand Myanmar art boundaries by showing that performance art offers new possibilities and strategies to grapple with ideas that confront and engage with current political, economical and social issues.  We host the festival in relatively public locations to reach out to a broad audience. In a restrictive artistic and political climate, where many artists and organizers work in private settings in order to dare to express themselves freely, we want to show in practice that it is possible in contemporary Myanmar to do outstanding and daring performance art in more public spaces. To imagine life beyond pressure. Beyond Pressure member are Moe Satt (Artistic Director/ Visual &amp;amp; Performance Artist), Mg Day (Coordinator/ Poet, Writer &amp;amp; Translator), Mrat Lunn Htwann (Manager/ Performance Artist), Phyu Mon (Poet- Visual &amp;amp; Performance Artist), Aung Ko (Multi-disciplinary artist), Aung Pyi Sone (Poet &amp;amp; Performance Artist)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.beyondpressure.org/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;http://www.beyondpressure.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;++++&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align: top;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#ffffff" width="600"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td rowspan="2" width="60"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" valign="top" width="540"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"&gt;CALL FOR ENTRIES: UNTIL THE 25th OF AUGUST, 2008 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RENCONTRES INTERNATIONALES PARIS/BERLIN/MADRID &lt;br /&gt;FILM / VIDEO / MULTIMEDIA &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://art-action.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e13131;"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1220065900_10"&gt;www.art-action.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 78%;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 'Rencontres Internationales' will take place at the Centre Pompidou, at the Jeu de Paume national museum and in other key locations in &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1220065900_11" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Paris&lt;/span&gt; in November 2008.

The audience will be free to browse through the grid created by the &lt;br /&gt;performers (and their objects) and can decide whom to watch, in what order and for what length. &lt;br /&gt;Repetition and correspondence between performers will amplify what occurs in everyday life - &lt;br /&gt;coincidences, shared space and the relationship of personal histories. Ritualistic repetition, seemingly &lt;br /&gt;banal gestures and minimal unison movement will depict how inner rhythms connect with the rhythms &lt;br /&gt;of other people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conception and direction by: Alicia Grant and Cara Spooner &lt;br /&gt;Music by: Nick Storring &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Performances by: &lt;br /&gt;Alicia Grant &lt;br /&gt;Alicia Winn &lt;br /&gt;Anni Spadafora &lt;br /&gt;Cara Spooner &lt;br /&gt;Chelsea Omel &lt;br /&gt;Chris Wiseman &lt;br /&gt;D Alex Meeks &lt;br /&gt;Devon Hyland &lt;br /&gt;Erin Cowan &lt;br /&gt;Jared Raab &lt;br /&gt;Jasmyn Burke &lt;br /&gt;Jenn Sciarrino &lt;br /&gt;Laura Mendes &lt;br /&gt;Natalie Boustead &lt;br /&gt;Rebecca Pletsch &lt;br /&gt;Rebecca Simonetti &lt;br /&gt;Robert Kingsbury &lt;br /&gt;Sarah Fregeau &lt;br /&gt;Shelly Hering &lt;br /&gt;Shirin Yousefi &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.

The organizer is Artists' Association Muu, and artistic curator vocal and &lt;br /&gt;performance artist Juha Valkeapää. Amorph!08 has two phases. The first phase takes place on May 26 - &lt;br /&gt;June 8, 2008, in Paris, where it belongs to Printemps (Im)médiat!, Institut Finlandais coordinated part of &lt;br /&gt;100% Finlande - en France - printemps 2008. The second phase is organized on August 18-31, 2008, &lt;br /&gt;in Helsinki. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amorph!08 is a meeting point. Participating artists represent the wide field of experimental &lt;br /&gt;performative arts: performance art, dance, sound &amp;amp; music, video &amp;amp; web art. The theme is public spaces &lt;br /&gt;of Paris and Helsinki. The curator has chosen four Finnish and four French artists, and made four pairs &lt;br /&gt;of artists. They are Charlie Jeffery-Jouni Partanen, Carole Douillard-Essi Kausalainen, Viviana Moin- &lt;br /&gt;Mimosa Pale, Christophe Bruno-Pessi Parviainen. Each pair will get a public place - flea market, park, &lt;br /&gt;river or sea side - to work on. The Parisian places are located near to Mains d'Œuvres, Khiasma and La &lt;br /&gt;Générale des Sevres; in Helsinki the central place is Hietalahti. The results of the couples' work - &lt;br /&gt;performance, installation, presentation, lecture - are shown during the festival weekend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The works by the artist couples make the core of the Amorph!08 festival weekends both in Paris (7-8 &lt;br /&gt;June) and in Helsinki (30-31 August). Except them, the festival presents videotheques with &lt;br /&gt;performative video works and performance documents and seminar. In Paris the videotheque will &lt;br /&gt;consist of Finnish works, in Helsinki the works are French. Furthermore, in Helsinki, there will be &lt;br /&gt;festival club, exhibition, seminar and workshop.

If due to time or geographical &lt;br /&gt;restrictions you cannot make it to our 12-day intensive performance workshop in Portugal (August 1- &lt;br /&gt;12, 2008) you can apply for our winter school to take place in Tucson, Arizona (January 5th-17th, &lt;br /&gt;2009). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Roberto Sifuentes and other members of the legendary Pocha Nostra &lt;br /&gt;performance troupe will conduct their annual 12-day intensive summer workshop on performance art &lt;br /&gt;with a focus on the human body as a site for creation, reinvention, memory and activism. This cross- &lt;br /&gt;cultural, cross-disciplinary and cross-generational workshop will host 15 performance artists and &lt;br /&gt;students from around the world as well as 10 Portuguese artists. It is La Pocha's most important &lt;br /&gt;pedagogic endeavor of the year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The prestigious Pocha workshop is an amazing artistic and anthropological experiment in which artists &lt;br /&gt;from several countries and every imaginable artistic, ethnic and sub-cultural background begin to &lt;br /&gt;negotiate common ground. Performance becomes the connective tissue and lingua franca for our &lt;br /&gt;temporary community of rebel artists. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where will it take place? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Pocha Nostra International Workshop continues on its nomadic journey around the world (Wales, &lt;br /&gt;Oaxaca, Tucson, etc) nurturing multi-national communities artists that ignore the existence of borders. &lt;br /&gt;This year's summer workshop will take place in the historic Convento do Carmo, in Évora, Portugal, as &lt;br /&gt;part of Escrita na Paisagem ˆ Performance and Land Arts Festival (5th edition) with the support of the &lt;br /&gt;University of Évora &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.escritanapaisagem.net/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333366;"&gt;http://www.escritanapaisagem.net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333366;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With over 2000 years of history and a variety of cultural and architectural influences, Évora is "a &lt;br /&gt;Portuguese national treasure" and has been awarded status as a UNESCO world heritage site. This &lt;br /&gt;gorgeous "museum-city," whose roots go back to Roman times, reached its golden age in the 15th &lt;br /&gt;century, when it became the residence of the Portuguese kings. Part of the town is enclosed by ancient &lt;br /&gt;walls and has been preserved in its original state. Even from a distance, the majestic beauty of Évora is &lt;br /&gt;apparent: its cathedral dominating the view of the famous "white and yellow city" as it stands atop a hill &lt;br /&gt;surrounded by the vast expanses of the Alentejo plain in southeast Portugal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final performance will take place at a castle located 30 minutes from Évora. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will be taught? &lt;br /&gt;The exciting 8-hour a day workshop will offer two parallel processes: Participants are exposed to La &lt;br /&gt;Pocha Nostra's most recent performance methodologies, an eclectic combination of exercises borrowed &lt;br /&gt;from multiple traditions including experimental theater and dance, the Suzuki method, ritual &lt;br /&gt;performance, shamanism, performance games and live jam sessions. Parallel to this hands-on process, &lt;br /&gt;the group will analyze the creative process, the issues addressed by the work, its aesthetic currency, &lt;br /&gt;cultural impact and political pertinence. The workshop will culminate with a full performance open to &lt;br /&gt;the public. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who should attend? &lt;br /&gt;Performance artists, experimental actors, dancers, theorists, and students interested in the topics &lt;br /&gt;addressed by La Pocha Nostra. Applicants must have some performance experience, and must be &lt;br /&gt;familiar with La Pocha Nostra's work. The workshop is fun but rigorous. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Application process: &lt;br /&gt;International participants will be chosen by a Pocha selection committee and Portuguese participants &lt;br /&gt;will be chosen by our host Jose Alberto Ferreira. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Applicants must submit: (a) A half-page statement (in English, Spanish, Italian, French or Portuguese) &lt;br /&gt;stating why they are interested in taking the workshop; (b) A one page resume; and (c-optional) A letter &lt;br /&gt;of recommendation from a curator, director, producer or senior artist familiar with your work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those living outside of Portugal, please submit your application directly to La Pocha Nostra: c/o Emma &lt;br /&gt;Tramposch, Special Projects Coordinator: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=pocha@pochanostra.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333366;"&gt;pocha@pochanostra.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333366;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those living in Portugal, please submit your application directly to Escrita na Paisagem c/o Rita Valente, &lt;br /&gt;Assistant Producer: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=rvalente@escritanapaisagem.net"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333366;"&gt;rvalente@escritanapaisagem.net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333366;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please write "La Pocha Nostra International Workshop" in subject line. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost: &lt;br /&gt;For international artists, the cost of the workshop is 650 US dollars.
