ACT ART 6

Event Website: www.actart.co.uk
Location: London, UK
Venue / Organiser:
Act Art (www.actart.co.uk)
Information:

ACT ART aims to create an event that celebrates difference, supports cross-discipline ways of working and offers a safe environment to exhibit work in all disciplines, including live art, performance, video, installation, painting, sculpture, drawing and photography, with a particular emphasis on works that are experimental, radical, confrontational and non-mainstream.

ACT ART programmes work by a wide spectrum of artists who are united by an interest in the body and ranges from undergraduate students to established performance artists. We believe in bringing emerging artists together alongside more established practitioners in an attempt to create a dialogue between artists and their practice, as well as bringing live art to a wider audience and staging an event that is open to everyone and alienates nobody.

Dates and venue to be confirmed.

Ctiy of Women

Event Website: www.cityofwomen.org
Location: Ljubljana, Slovenia
Venue / Organiser:
City of Women (www.cityofwomen.org)
Information:

Both carnival and festival times are aimed in particular at the temporary bridging of unsurpassable obstacles, and the abolition of social hierarchies in order that which is normally ‘off-limits’ becomes subject to scrutiny and ridicule. Some believe that we have to allow ourselves to laugh and, in particular, mock; and then after the huge eruption of carnival everything can return to its - allegedly - right and proper place. Does it really? What about if we don’t stop laughing? This year, the City of Women believes in neither humour nor art, but finds the »black powder« in both. When fire is above, beneath and inside us, we will still keep on laughing. We shall laugh at the sense of our laughter, and only when it detonates with a loud report we will see who laughs loudest!
