    3rd Venice International Performance Art Week, 2016 Ouch – Pain and Performance A screening programme curated by Live Art Development Agency, London “I see pain as an inevitable byproduct of interesting performance.” Dominic Johnson According to Wikipedia ‘pain’ is an “unpleasant feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli…(it) motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations and to avoid similar experiences in the future.” But for many artists and audiences the opposite is just as true, and pain within the context of performance is a challenging, exhilarating and profound experience. Ouch is a collection of documentation and artists’ films looking at pain and performance. The works are not necessarily performances about pain, but in some way involve or invoke pain in their making or reading or experience - both the pain artists cause themselves within the course of their work, whether intentional or not, and the experiences of audiences as they are invited to inflict pain on artists or are subjected to pain and discomfort themselves. The selected works feature eminent and ground breaking artists from around the world whose practices address provocative issues including the lived experiences of illness, the aging female body, cosmetic surgery, addiction, embodied public protest, animalistic impulses, blood letting, staged fights, acts of self harm and flagellation, and what can happen when you invite audiences to be complicit in performance actions. Ouch featured artists: Marina Abramovic, Ron Athey, Marcel.Li Antunez Roca, Franko B, Wafaa Bilal, Rocio Boliver, Cassils, Bob Flanagan, Regina Jose Galindo, jamie lewis hadley, Nicola Hunter & Ernst Fischer, Oleg Kulik, Martin O’Brien, Kira O’Reilly, ORLAN, Petr Pavlensky.

  • FAÇADE: ZONE A: Religion/Family
    CHECKLIST for Participant Inc. February 14-April 4, 2021 Curated by Amelia Jones Archival and research assistance by Ana Briz, David Frantz, Hannah Grossman, Dominic Johnson, Maddie Phinney *** UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ALL ITEMS ARE FROM THE RON ATHEY ARCHIVE*** ***NOTE: photographs are credited where authorship is known*** FAÇADE: Rear projection of “Esoterrorist” text by Genesis P’Orridge, edited and video mapped as a word virus, as projected in the final scene of Ron Athey’s Acephalous Monster, “Cephalophore: Entering the Forest,” 2018-19. Video graphics work by Studio Ouroboros, Berlin. ZONE A: Religion/Family This section of the exhibition features a key work expanding on Ron Athey’s family and religious upbringing as a would-be Pentacostal minister: his 2002 live multimedia performance installation Joyce, which is named after Athey’s mother. It also includes elements from Athey’s archive relating to Joyce—including two costumes from the live performance—and his life within and beyond his fundamentalist origin family (such as unpublished writings from his period of recovery in the 1980s, and the numerous flyers advertising fundamentalist revivals he attended). The section is organized around materials that evoke the mix of religiosity and dysfunctional (sexualized and incestuous) family dynamics Athey experienced as a child and wrote about in some of his autobiographical writings that are included in the catalogue, including Mary Magdalene Footwashing Set (1996), which was included in a group show at Western Project in Los Angeles in 2006 and in the Invisible Exports Gallery “Displaced Person” show in 2012, a former gallery just around the corner from Participant Inc.’s location.

  • Introduction to Art Making- Motion and Time Based: a Question of the Body and Its Reflections As Gesture
    Introduction to Art Making- Motion and Time Based: A Question of the Body and its Reflections as Gesture. ...material action is painting that has spread beyond the picture surface. The human body, a laid table or a room becomes the picture surface. Time is added to the dimension of the body and space. - "Material Action Manifesto," Otto Muhl, 1964 VIS 2 Winter 2017 When: Thursday: 6:30 p.m. to 8:20p.m. Where: PCYNH 106 Professor: Ricardo Dominguez Email: [email protected] Office Hour: Thursday. 11:00 a.m. to Noon. Room: VAF Studio 551 (2nd Fl. Visual Art Facility) The body-as-gesture has a long history as a site of aesthetic experimentation and reflection. Art-as-gesture has almost always been anchored to the body, the body in time, the body in space and the leftovers of the body This class will focus on the history of these bodies-as-gestures in performance art. An additional objective for the course will focus on the question of documentation in order to understand its relationship to performance as an active frame/framing of reflection. We will look at modernist, contemporary and post-contemporary, contemporary work by Chris Burden, Ulay and Abramovic, Allen Kaprow, Vito Acconci, Coco Fusco, Faith Wilding, Anne Hamilton, William Pope L., Tehching Hsieh, Revered Billy, Nao Bustamante, Ana Mendieta, Cindy Sherman, Adrian Piper, Sophie Calle, Ron Athey, Patty Chang, James Luna, and the work of many other body artists/performance artists. Students will develop 1 performance action a week, for 5 weeks, for a total of 5 gestures/actions (during the first part of the class), individually or in collaboration with other students.

  • (Un)Disciplined Bodies: Ascetic Transformation in Performance Art
    (Un)Disciplined Bodies: Ascetic Transformation in Performance Art Tatiana A. Koroleva A Thesis In the Department Of Humanities Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Humanities) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada April, 2014 © Tatiana A. Koroleva, 2014 ABSTRACT (Un)Disciplined Bodies: Ascetic Transformation in Performance Art Tatiana A. Koroleva, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2014 This dissertation investigates different modalities of self-transformation enacted in ritualistic performance art by the examination of the work of three contemporary performance artists – Marina Abramović, Linda Montano and Ron Athey. Drawing on theoretical models of ritual, in particular the model of ascetic ritual developed in the works of Gavin Flood and Richard Valantasis, Georges Bataille’s theory of sacrifice, concepts of wounded healing by Laurence J. Kirmayer and Jess Groesbeck, and recent studies of ascetic self-injury in psychiatry and psychoanalysis, I argue that ritualistic performance provides a useful model of the therapy of the body that undermines rigid models of the individual self. Ritualistic performance employs a variety of methods of re-patterning of the dominant standard of individuality and formation of alternative model of the body associated with the ascetic self. In view of significance of the transcendence of the body in the work of these artists I employ a theory of “transformation” to reflect upon performative methodology developed in the artworks of Abramović, Montano, and Athey. iii AKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge the support and generosity I have received from my academic advisors: Mark Sussman, Tim Clark, and Shaman Hatley. Their work and contributions have been invaluable to the research and writing for this dissertation.

  • From Multimedia to Software Art Installations
    Collaborative and Transdisciplinary practices in Cyberart: from Multimedia to Software Art installations Diana Domingues Eliseo Reategui NTAV Lab – Universidade de Caxias do Sul/CNPQ Mestrado em Comunicação e Linguagens – Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná Brazil How to synthesize Leonardo? The efficiency of collaborative practices related to complex systems in Cyberart dissolves the old rupture and the well-known historical divergences between artists and scientists. The main point of convergence is when all disciplines investigate the same issues, all sciences become one unique science. Interactivity, immersion, autonomy and mobile connections in Cyberart require collaborative practices related to Science of Complexity and its emergent proprieties. Speculative software are written to respond for artistic projects and they place art in the three recent realms of “engineering art”, “engineering culture” and “engineering nature”1. These investigation fields respond to the high level of Cyberart’s philosophical, technical, biological, social, ethical and emotional implications of scientific discoveries. A variety of disciplines related to the use of computers and networks in genetics, engineering, biotechnology, cognitive sciences, communication, anthropology, computer science, and other areas require sometimes a scripted software when applied in art practices. Writing software is not new in art practices, it has been done since the beginning of computer art, mainly in the development of formalistic aesthetics. However, artists embrace nowadays the design of adequate software by taking algorithmic information content for searching “rules” to be included in the code. Art works in cyberspace search for forms of communication close to the expansion of life in the post-human culture. The focus is the human factor of technologies or the humanization of technologies in the cross- boundaries with creativity and changes in daily life2.

C.P. 04510, México, D.F. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bioart is a new art form with specific characteristics and aims. In order to state this, one should provide a defi- nition of bioart that explains its novelty and the extent to which it differs from traditional art forms. Bioart is the essential form of expression of our techno-scientific epoch, bringing about an interaction of science, technology and art that requires explanation in order not only to understand it as a new art form but also a possible way for our techno-scientific epoch to develop a more appropriate means of artistic expression. The traditional philosophy of art, which has created various definitionsANNALES of · Ser.art overhist. the sociol. course · 22 ·of 2012 the · past2 decade, is not sufficient for analyz- ing the ontological consequences of bioart. Therefore, this paper explores the possibility of creating a theoretical framework that is drawn from the discipline of aesthetic ontology in order to examine the ontological implications of bioart. : bioart, aesthetic ontology, art definition, transaesthetic, art and science LA BIOARTE SULL’ORLO DELL’ONTOLOGIA ESTETICA SINTESI La bioarte è una nuova forma d’arte con caratteristiche e obiettivi specifici.
