The New Forms Festival and SWARM present Performative - roots+wires and Free Daily :: September 4, 2008; 8:00 pm - September 5, 2008; 1:00 am :: Open Studios, 252 East 1st, Vancouver, BC.
Performative explores differing approaches to new media integration within interdisciplinary contexts. Stemming from research in the fields of dance, lecture, and installation, the works utilize disparate new media technologies to not only accent and augment performance techniques, but to entirely pollinate the creation and presentation of the work.
roots + wires is a series of integrated dance / sound / media experiments inspired by the writing of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. It is a decentralized, anarchistic and (perhaps) never-ending work in progress. Using movement, media, and a modular performance dynamic, roots + wires aims to integrate critical discourse with a non-didactic, interactive, thought provoking form of experimental performance that draws upon many different mediums and styles of presentation.
The current iteration of roots+wires is a playful and speculative investigation into what a ?Deleuzian? concept of identity might entail. Borrowing from film, video, dance, business presentations and other time-based forms of presentation, it navigates between an essentialist notions of identity and identity conceived of as a continual process of change, as that which will eventually come to differ from itself. Various incarnations of roots + wires have been shown at Salaam Salon V, Mascall Dance, and Making New Tracks in Vancouver, and the Rhubarb Festival in Toronto.
Free Daily is an interactive dance installation that brings to life various news articles found in some of Vancouver?s free daily newspapers. Created by Amanda Sheather and Arliss Renwick, the space is set up much like a display case at a museum, the dancers ?rest? on one of three stages. For 45 minutes the audience is invited to push a button found in front of the stages that randomly selects then projects one of the found articles. With each selection a short sound and dance vignette follow, bringing to life the article?s content. Through this mediation, Free Daily contemplates the power dynamic between performer and media, the illusion of choice, and the effects of juxtaposition. Free Daily has been shown at 12 Minutes Max in Vancouver and Seattle.
It's not just a flood of Damien Hirst art works...it's the Katrina of the Art World!
There are several reports out that his art dealers are already choking on having trouble "selectively placing" tons of unsold art works by Damien Hirst.

Plus.. the famous 100 million dollar folly diamond skull was never sold.
Like lambs (or sheep) to the slaughter, Now, Sotheby's is also holding a 100% Damien Hirst art selling marathon in mid September at their London Offices.
Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, a major auction of works by Damien Hirst, will include an important series of new pieces which have been created over the past two years, including monumental formaldehyde sculptures; paintings which expand on the artist's classic themes such as butterflies, cancer cells and pills; exquisite new cabinets and insightful preparatory drawings.
56 Lots on September 15th at night.
Lots 101 to 180on September 16th in the morning
Lots 201 - 287on September 16th in the afternoon.
(Photo #1, Lot 9, Damien Hirst, 1965 The Black Sheep with The Golden Horn, Executed in 2008, sheep, 18 carat gold, glass, steel, acrylic, silicone and formaldehyde solution, 43 x 64 x 25", price est 2 - 3 Million Pounds Sterling..about $4 million USD)
Sheeps, Sharks, Butterflies, Pills, pok-a-dots..etc.. you name it.. there's at least one or 2 of freshly made Hirst works for sale... so much for scarcity! I guess Damien's army of art "collaborative artists" have been very busy make his art to sell.
If MAO was rich enough to be, stupid enough to be, fortunate enough to be a collector of Damien Hirst works... we would be very worried! It looks like this auction may become the watershed Big Fall benchmark event for the contemporary art world.
PS: Funny I should eventually be moving to where these people now live (or so I hear - never seen them around Northampton).
Banksy has been busy in New Orleans on the eve of the Third Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. There's around a dozen new images which are being widely reported around the world. Sky News has a photo gallery courtesy of Banksy.co.uk and Melfeasance over on the Flickr Banksy group is doing a great job of collating other peoples photos of the work. There's some interesting views as to the meaning behind the images - from their relevance to the American governments reaction to Katrina and the response they give to New Orlean's infamous graffiti buffer.
Sand makes for soft curvatures.
sand topped by glistening pebbles,
hopeful baby cottonwoods,
and sliding sand exposing tree roots.
Another long-distance view shows dune rhythms.
This is were we chose to put down our roots. And yet, this summer, there have been only three hikes into the dunes. In contrast to last year, when I roamed often here and at other sites, collecting tons of dune images. What happened?
Visitors? My mother, 90 yr old, likes to sit at the beach under a shady tree, watching the waves. Likewise, my grandson, a toddler, likes playing at the beach and my friends like beach walks. But still, there was plenty of free time where I could have been roaming in solitude.
Perhaps, I felt more domestic this year, staying closer to the house, except for a couple of solitary mornings shooting rocks? Perhaps, I let my day job intrude, spending too much time at the computer?
Or, more interesting and hopeful, perhaps I am incubating who I am artwise?
Do you have periods during which you seemingly do not do much but that, in retrospect, proved to be fertile?

One of our newest Hot Shots, Colleen Plumb writes, about one of this week’s 20×200 editions:
Animals Are Outside Today
I began this project looking at “fake nature”, wondering what substitutions for nature can satisfy in people. Looking deeper I began photographing live/real animals and how they can be a link for us to a world far from the reality and pace of contemporary life, as well as provide an intangible link to a deeper world of instinct and rawness.
This series of photographs examines the essence of our connection, as well as our fragmentation from the natural. I am interested in the increasing disconnection that exists between humans and the natural world. The work explores simulation, consumption, destruction, and reconstruction as well as notions of endurance and the reality of loss.
…
With this series I seek to understand how the human connection to the rest of nature is often developed through assimilation and appropriation. I hope this work will incite contemplation about the lives of animals and generate dialog about resource usage.
