1. Changes to Fado e-list format
Fado announces some changes to our e-list format beginning with the June 2005 issue. Announcements of Fado events will now be sent out separately from the e-list. This will result in the following changes:
1. The e-list will now be published (to the best abilities of our staff) at the beginning of each month. Submissions for inclusion should arrive by the third week of the preceding month.
2. Announcements of Fado events will be sent out during the month as appropriate, usually approximately a week in advance of the event.
Current subscribers will continue to receive BOTH sets of information. New "subscribe" requests will also receive BOTH sets of information unless the request indicates "events only".
If you wish to receive ONLY Fado events listings, please send an email to info@performanceart indicating your email address with an "events only" message.
These changes are being made
-to allow for a more timely flow of information to e-list subscribers;
-to provide a dependable schedule for contributors wishing to disseminate their information on the list; -and to reduce postings for those who are only interested in receiving events information.
We will continue to archive copies of the Fado e-list on our website at http://www.performanceart.ca/elist.html.

5. CALL FOR PAPERS, PERFORMANCES AND CREATIVE WORKS: "COLLISION" University of Victoria (Victoria)
Deadline: May 27, 2005; Source: Dylan Robinson
COLLISION:
A SYMPOSIUM ON INTERARTS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICES
University of Victoria, BC, Canada
September 8th-11th, 2005
Submissions for papers and proposals for performances, installations and other creative works are now being accepted for the COLLISION Symposium to be held at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada from September 8-11, 2005.
It is often assumed that Interarts and Interdisciplinary creation involves a seamless integration of two or more distinct artistic practices, and ideally that these practices will easily fuse into a work that can be viewed as an integrated whole. However, as artists who attempt this fusion find, it is often far from easy to integrate disparate media. For the Collisions Symposium we seek presentations and artistic works that examine these difficulties, conflicts, rough seams, uneven mixtures, and the debris and detritus resulting from artistic collisions, as well as presentations that question how artists approach these acts of integration/disintegration.
We are seeking proposals for conference-length papers and performances that address the issues of Interarts creation/collaboration as a collision between artistic elements and forms. For this symposium we seek to create an atmosphere of interaction between academic discussion and artistic presentation. Consequently, we also encourage presentations that fall between the standard academic paper format, including discussions your interarts/interdisciplinary practice, lecture-performances, and creative works that engage critical interaction. We welcome papers that examine theoretical concepts and/or the development of artistic processes, as well as performances and creative works from within the following areas:
Sound Art
Instrumental Theatre
Immersive Environments
New Music Theatre
Interactive Works
Visual Theatre
Live Art
Video/Visual Poetry
Dance Theatre
Performance Art
Intermedia
Experimental Theatre
We also welcome presentations that examine the following topics or artists:
Fluxus
Dada
Happenings
Gesamtkunstwerk
Total Theatre
Sound Walks
Dramaturgy for Interarts/Interdisciplinary Creation
Collaborative Processes for Interarts/Interdisciplinary Creation
Directing Interarts/Interdisciplinary Creation
Pedagogy of Interarts/Interdisciplinary Creation
Heiner Goebbels
George Aperghis
John Cage
Robert Wilson
Pina Bausch
R. Murray Schaffer
Meredith Monk
Dieter Schnebel
Mauricio Kagel
For Paper Submissions (20-30 minute presentations), please forward an abstract (.doc, .rtf format) of no more than 300 words to Dylan Robinson at dylanr@uvic.ca
For Performances and Creative works please mail submissions to:

6. CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS: Performance Research Vol. 11 (UK)
Deadline: May 27, 2005; Source: Performance Research
Performance Research Vol. 11 "Lexicon"
"Made to Order "Issue No. 11:1 (Spring 2006)
Editors: Ric Allsopp, Richard Gough, Claire MacDonald
In the spring of 2006 Performance Research will begin its second decade of publication, and we are devoting the four-issues of Volume 11 to an exploration of the terms under which performance is debated, discussed, conducted, written about and constructed, in the form of lexicons and dictionaries, encyclopedias and key words.
Over the past ten years Performance Research has generated issue titles that provoke response and debate, using them to stimulate, frame and respond to current trends in art and performance. The intention has been not merely to offer subjects for discussion, but to extend the imaginative field of performance discourse. Over the decade we have offered titles as 'word play, that is as terms that can be subjected to pressure and so reveal a multiplicity of possible uses and meanings. The list is a long one, but a random sequence might include: refuge, silence, departure, navigation, risk, illusion, generation, voices, correspondence and civility, as well as subjects like archiving, editing, animals, place, the page and theatre itself, that seek to identify subject matter that is significant to current critical and creative practice. In Volume 11 we take our interest in words, discourse, linguistic systems and their relationship to performance practice much further, and to ask artists and writers to consider these in relation to the histories, philosophies and pragmatics of performance, art making and performance writing.
Volume 11 will begin with 'Made to Order', whose call for papers is below. It will continue with two issues on key words, and end with an issue on the nature of the index. We would be interested in proposals from writers and artists who would be interested in contributing to issues over the year, as well as for individual contributions to particular issues.
Issue 11.1 (spring 2006) Made to Order
Issue Editor: Claire MacDonald
What is the relationship between performance practice and the ordering systems that generate and archive it? To begin our anniversary year we are considering ordering systems - encyclopedias, lexicons, dictionaries, lists, stage directions - in relation to the histories, practices, theories and discourses of performance. From Georges Perec's 'A Species of Spaces' to Forced Entertainment's recent performance lexicon, what do dictionaries, lexicons and encyclopedias tell us about their subjects and about their compilers? Conversely, we are also interested in the ways in which systems of order, alphabetical and otherwise, might be conceived of as instances of performance practice in themselves. From the invented alphabets of Lettrism to the transformed visual letters of artist Xu Bing, the notion of performing alphabetical order has been a central part of avant garde practice, and therefore of performance art. We might also consider how patterns and concepts of order work in space and time on the page, in the performance space, in site-specific work and in the book, as well as how performance events and material objects relate to their archival entries? Lists, sequences and series appear in the work of many artists, but how does sequence relate to narrative?
The issue will preface two subsequent issues dealing with performance keywords, not simply terms that are currently crucial to the emerging field as it grows, but 'key words' in the sense for which Raymond Williams coined the term in the 1970s - terms in flux, terms that indicate tension and change or that show shifts in thinking; terms that divide generations, or that continue to provoke dissent. 'Made to Order' is a companion to the projected final issue of the volume, 'Indexical Traces', an issue that looks at the nature of the index as a form and at indexes tell us about the textual and performance forms that they relate to.
Deadlines for issue 11:1 are as follows:
Proposals: 27th May 2005

Finalised material: 19th September 2005

Call for Submissions on Walking
Locus Suspectus, a cultural magazine based in Montreal, seeks textual (English and French) and visual proposals on the theme of walking to inaugurate its first web and paper edition to be published on September 1, 2005.
The phenomenon of walking was born with human civilization. We tend to take walking for granted, not realizing its long and diverse history. Scientists claim that walking on two legs appeared about four million years ago allowing humans to investigate and understand the world differently than do animals. From the Paleolithic stick man, a hunter drawn in the Lascaux cave, through the World's ancient cultures there has always been grand effort put into the representation of walking. Modern and postmodern experimentations of walking continue to fascinate artists, cultural critics and scientists. We invite your critical thoughts on walking, understood here as a rich interdisciplinary phenomenon.
We welcome critical essays, cultural reviews, and creative writing on a broadly defined walking phenomenon. Your written contribution could touch upon (but it is not limited to) interdisciplinary critical examination of walking in diverse socio-political and cultural contexts, reviews of cultural events involving walking, interviews, and creative writing. We especially welcome texts and images of significant walking events that took place in Montreal.
Submission Guidelines
Textual: good, near to completion draft, 1000-2500 words, clear references at the end of your text; rtf format only

14. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: "Market" Articule (Montreal)
Deadline: June 10, 2005; Source: Articule
(version français suivre)
Mar·ket:
Middle English, from Old North French, from Latin mercatus trade, marketplace, from mercari to trade, from merc-, merx merchandise
We hear the cry of the barker, the quack, the hawker of miracle drugs, and the bookseller; we hear the curses that alternate with ironic advertisements and ambiguous praise.
(...) The exaggerated announcements of the medieval fair and the hyperbole of the contemporary advertisement share a "special marketplace atmosphere in which the exalted and the lowly, the sacred and the profane are leveled and are all drawn into the same dance".
(Mikhail Bahktin, Rabelais and His World, Indiana University Press, 1984)
How do artists today address the notions of market and society, and how does the art system operate within it?
How do artists strategize and incorporate (or subvert?) these concerns into an integral part of their art practice?
How do we challenge current market-strategies, invent hybrid ones and create niches ("more branches out of the market tree")?
Could the idea of morphing between high and low, or the idea of cross-disciplinary strategies provide artists with an avenue for a broader dissemination of contemporary art?
What are you selling?
To start its 2006/07 programming season, articule launches a thematic call for submissions and invites local, national and international artists, groups of artists and curators to submit exhibition proposals that respond to the theme.
Submission deadline: June 10th, 2005

- curriculum vitae
- artist statement (max. one page)
- a description of the project, specifying spatial and technical needs (max. two pages)
- maximum of 20 slides or digital images on CD, clearly-identified
- maximum of one VHS tape (NTSC) or one DVD, clearly-identified
- a descriptive list for the visual material (title, date, dimension, medium)
- a self-addressed, sufficiently pre-stamped envelope
IMPORTANT: if you submit digital images please comply with the following guidelines:
- compatible with MacIntosh OS 9.2 and Photoshop 5.5, Powerpoint 98, Quicktime 5
- jpeg format suggested, do not exceed 2 MB or 1024 x 768 pixels
- identify each image with a number and a title corresponding to the descriptive list
- the images have to appear when opening the CD, do not create indexes or arborescences

APPEL DE DOSSIERS
Marché:
Du Latin mercatus commerce, place du marché; de mercari faire du commerce; de merc-, merx marchandise
Nous entendons le cri du bonimenteur, du charlatan, du colporteur de drogues miraculeuses, et du libraire; nous entendons jurons alternant avec publicités ironiques et éloges ambigus.
(...) Les annonces exagérées de la foire médiévale et l'hyperbole de la publicité contemporaine partagent "l'atmosphère unique de la place du marché dans laquelle l'exalté et l'humble, le sacré et le profane sont nivellés et tous tirés dans la même danse".
(traduction libre de Mikhail Bahktin, Rabelais and His World, Indiana University Press, 1984)
Comment les artistes aujourd'hui abordent les notions de marché et de société, et comment le système d'art opère à l'intérieur de celles-ci?
Comment les artistes conceptualisent et incorporent (ou subvertissent?) ces préoccupations dans leurs pratiques artistiques?
Comment nous défions les stratégies du marché actuel, inventons des stratégies hybrides et créons des niches (ou "d'autres branches dans l'arbre du marché")?
Est-ce que l'idée de métamorphose entre "high art" et "low art", est-ce que l'idée de stratégies trans-disciplinaires pourraient fournir une avenue pour la dissémination plus large de l'art contemporain?
Vous, qu'est-ce que vous vendez?
Pour commencer sa programmation 2006/07, articule lance un appel de dossiers thématique et invite les artistes, les collectifs d'artistes et les commissaires locaux, nationaux et internationaux à soumettre leurs projets d'expositions ou d'événements qui répondent au thème lancé.
Date de tombée : 10 juin 2005
Votre soumission de projet doit inclure:
- un curriculum vitae
- un texte de démarche artistique
- une description du projet spécifiant les besoins spatiales et téchniques
- maximum 20 diapositives ou images numériques sur CD, clairement identifiées
- maximum 1 cassette VHS (NTSC) ou 1 DVD, clairement identifiés
- liste descriptive des documents visuels (titres, dates, dimensions et médium)
- une enveloppe de retour pré-adressée et suffisamment affranchie

15. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: "Open City" Video Pool (Winnipeg)
Deadline: June 10, 2005; Source: Instant Coffee
Artists are invited to submit works for an art exhibition during the 2nd annual Open Source Cultural Exchange called OpenCity, taking place August 17 - 20, 2005 in Winnipeg's Exchange District. We are looking for art in any media which responds to the idea of a Cultural (and Technological) Commons, Free Software, Open Source and the creation of shared-culture alternatives to corporate-controlled culture.
OpenCity believes that creativity always builds on the past, and that unrestricted, unbalanced copyright law wielded by powerful media conglomerates can stifle an artist's transformative re-use of material. If you are making artwork which explores these ideas, submit 10-20 slides, a CD or DVD, video, audiotape or URL, plus a curriculum vitae and a brief artist’s statement. OpenCity invites submissions of: New Media, Experimental Electronics, Video, Performance, Installation, Audio Art, Painting, Sculpture, Digital Art etc. The jury will consist of professional artists and OpenCity programmers.
Artist fees will be paid. Deadline for submissions: June 10, 2005
Send submissions to:
OpenCity Exhibition
c/o Video Pool Inc.
300-100 Arthur Street

Please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your material returned. Only artists selected for the OpenCity Exhibition will be notified. For more information on OpenCity please see http://www.freeculture.ca

The brainchild of the very evolved folks at Selah Artistic Giving Center <http://www.selahagc.org/>, F.A.B. promises to be another Arts District legend. Cutting edge and emerging art, live music, organic and ethnic food, fashion, and business help for artists abound.

21. EVENT: "Tit Pin"
Performances May 5 - 16, 2005; Source: Paige Gratland
Tit Pin on Exhibition at COOP Gallery May 5 to May 29
112 Scollard Street, Toronto M5R 1G2
Hours: Tues-Sat 11-5
T: 416 963 3131
Website: www.cooponscollard.com
Paige Gratland will be exhibiting select Tit Pins from her collection of over 250 participants for the month of May at Coop Gallery in Yorkville. The exhibition will be accompanied by 4 performances.
Thursday May 5th 6 to 8pm
Saturday May 7th 1-4pm
Saturday May 14th 1-4pm
Wednesday May 18th 6-9pm
Tit Pin is a performance production line which involves a participant entering a booth with the artist, having a photo taken of their tits which is then turned into a 2.25 inch pin for the participant to keep or trade with other participants. We have performed Tit Pin at Art Metropole, The PowerPlant, the Alley Jaunt Festival, and Space 1026 in Philadelphia.
Tit Pin is a project for all genders, exploring the participant&Mac226;s comfort level with presenting and objectifying their own body. A large part of the project is the negotiation that happens between the artist, and the participant, as they work together to produce a photo the participant is happy with. In the process body histories, inadequcies and awkward silences are shared and transcended.
When worn in public the tit pin transgresses the notions of public and private presentations of the body, challenging social restrictions on revealing the body and charging the public atmosphere with an awareness of the body. The project extends beyond the site as participants make decisions about where they
feel comfortable wearing their pin and the reactions the pin provokes in public. It is a fashion accessory that exposes fashion&Mac226;s function for framing and covering the body.
Developed in collaboration with Ginger Brooks Takahashi and Leah Glusien, featuring the Tit Pin Production Line: Leah Glushien, Day Milman and Lex Vaughn.
Paige Gratland is a Toronto based performance/video/fabric/recording artist. She makes party art: collaborative, participatory projects that engage the public in interpersoanl exchange and offers a good time. She has presented and performed work in New York, Chicago, Havana, Cuba & Frankfurt, Germany.
