UNTITLED (SELECTED HEARING) explores the sense of hearing and more specifically the act of listening as an intimate act of inclusion, trust, and the location and dislocation of self amidst a variety of public venues in Toronto. Artist Erika DeFreitas will be offering her shared presence to those who are interested in taking the time to sit and listen to their surroundings. Participants sign up for a particular place and time to join the artist in a conscious act of listening to the surrounding space.
DeFreitas notes about this piece: "Our society depends heavily on conscious auditory perception as being selective, and this perception has created a culture of selective hearing. Our ability to ‘block’ things out allows us to choose when we want to listen, what we listen to, and what we hear. Various components of our surrounding environment have perpetuated this practice of filtering sound and have dictated what is allowed to take root and what must be discarded. Such forms of selective hearing and escapism can alter our environment in a surreal way. In his writing about conceptual art, I believe that an awareness of the ways that a sense of space or environment can be established through sound, as well as an understanding of how we might unconsciously use sound to essentially make an environment transferable, can develop through a process of active listening."

Eric Létourneau - STANDARD III
October 21, 2004, 9 pm: XPACE, 303 Augusta
presented in conjunction with the 7a*11d Int'l Festival of Performance Art
This series considers acts of "listening" as they are carried out by and impact upon physical, social, political and spiritual bodies. Linda Rae Dornan presents herself as a solitary figure, sitting quietly in the city, listening -- encouraging us to also stop for a moment to hear what we normally ignore. Erika DeFreitas offers her presence for a one-on-one exercise of listening as a way of locating the self. Jed Speare lobbies the city for a quiet zone that would serve as an area of sound awareness. So-Yeon Park assembles chanters from various cultures to direct their voices toward individual participants' wishes as a way of channeling transformative energy. Eric Létourneau evokes silence as a way of marking and remembering all of the world's victims of political persecution in a multi-layered project that interrogates the role of the State and of mass media in silencing "silence" itself.
Travel support for this series comes from the New Brunswick Arts Board and the University of Kansas.

3. CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: "GenderQueer/QueerGenders" University of California, Santa Barbara
(USA)
Deadline:October 15, 2004; Source: Instant Coffee
Call for Art, Performance, Papers, and Workshops
GenderQueer/QueerGenders
Conversations among Artists, Activists & Academics
University of California, Santa Barbara
February 11, 12, and 13, 2005
GenderQueer/QueerGenders is a multidisciplinary, multimedia conference that will take place in Santa Barbara, CA, this coming February. It will be a forum for people who've been thinking about queerness and gender from different places (institutions, geographic locations, identities) and through different means (performance, scholarship, organizing, cultural politics, etc). The conference will bring together artists, scholars and activists as equal contributors to conduct workshops, exhibit and perform art, and present academic research. A priority of this conference is to reflect the diversity and complexity of gender expressions and the meanings gender has in different racial and cultural locations.
To that end, we particularly encourage proposals by and for people of color, working-class people, and people with disabilities.
GenderQueer/QueerGenders will be a forum for discussing the multiplicity of queer gender identities as they are experienced and expressed simultaneously with race, region, class, access, ability and other identities. One catalyst for this project has been our collective frustration with the lack of certain critical discourses about intersections of genders and sexualities. Specifically, we are concerned about the limited discourse on "emerging" queer genders including, for example, queer femininities, heterosexual queers, and the ways that gaps like these overlap with existing silences about race, class and privilege. We fear that these discourses are sometimes overshadowed by homogenizing "conventional" narratives of genderqueer and transgender communities. We hope to create a space to theorize a wider range of queer g! enders more fully representative of our identities, communities, and political/artistic work. We are seeking a wide range of participants and therefore are soliciting contributions from across form and discipline, including:
visual art
video or film
workshops
performance pieces
research presentations
activist and organizational skillshares
Possible points of entry:
genderqueer * disability * race * femme * masculinity * organizing * science * sex * `straight' queerness * art, performance and politics * cyber bodies * genderfuck * misogyny * dance * spoken word * virtual gender * song * imperialism * paint * photography * kink * technology * transsexual * BDSM * politics * sculpture * fat * revolution * attitude * hormones * body modification * desire * permission * fem! ininity * lo ho * inclusion * healthcare * social services * law * embodiment * restriction * FTM * access * love * star fucking * culture * no ho * language * sex work * religion * government * education * advocacy * youth * allies * class * history * transgender * transnational * DIY * music * images * representation * discourse * dialogue * critique * feminism * children * GID * reproduction * intersex * relationships * size * anti-racism * community * bodies * food * nationalism * immigration * industry * privacy * identity * public * MTF * genitalia * zines * privilege * sexual assault * hate crimes * invisibility * business * patriot act * civil rights * subvert * age * justice * border patrol * butch * drag * passing * tranny * chaser * diaspora * activism * film * nationality * polyamory * colonialism * marriage * none of the above

6. CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: "Diplomatic Immunity" ARCfest
October 9 & 16, 2004; Source: Darren O'Donnell
The following is an invitation for anyone interested in participating in "Diplomatic Immunity,&Mac246; a workshop and presentation facilitated by Darren O&Mac226;Donnell and Marilo Nunez that will be a part of ARCfest -- Toronto's human rights arts festival
Diplomatic Immunity is a simple but beguiling democratic performance with roots in theatre and story telling, The workshop/performance was conceived to allow a diverse group of people to collaborate with each other and their stories. The workshop culminates in the real-time creation of community, in full view of an audience.
One of the tricky aspects of any kind of social justice work is the act of representing others, speaking on their behalf, attempting to fully comprehend the other's situation and faithfully passing on the information. Diplomatic Immunity is a living demonstration of this process and engages the participants in a play of trust and respect while also providing some interesting entertainment for an audience.
WORKSHOP DATE: Saturday, October 9th at 12:00pm-4:00pm
PRESENTATION: Saturday, October 16th at 6:15pm-7:15pm
FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO REGISTER CONTACT*: <http://www.arcfest.org/squirrelmail/src/compose.php?send_to=darren%40mammalian.ca>darren@mammalian.ca

Festival Dates: October 20 - 31, 2004; Source: 7a*11d
REQUEST FOR MATERIALS:
Seattle artists Tamara Paris + Matt Fontaine will be performing The Art of Sexual Home Improvement in the 7a*11d Festival on Sunday, October 24. and they need:
100 celebrity magazines (People, Us, etc.),
porno magazines (representing a wide variety of sexualities)
food magazines (Gourmet, Bon Appetit)
and/or travel mags (Conde Nast, National Geographic etc.)
and 100 home improvement magazines (Martha Stewart, better homes and gardens, etc.)
The Art of Sexual Home Improvement
We are investigating the modern phenomenon of home improvement as spiritual quest. By approaching suburban shelter with the outdated languages of the sexual freedom and self-improvement "religions," we hope to find the historical continuity among all three and find what our culture is really seeking in slate floors and chrome taps. By making an act of home improvement into an orgiastic performance ritual, we will simultaneously manifest the touching absurdity of consumer life
and create a shamanistic/religious spectacle from the base materials of bathroom and kitchen remodeling.
Tamara Paris + Matt Fontaine have been collaborating since 2002. With a background in experimental theatre, their performances often straddle the controversial line between performance art and drama. Their work mines American consumer mythology and the spiritual consequences of technology and the hedonic treadmill.
If you can help. please email performancefestival@hotmail.com to arrange for pick-up

We are pleased to announce Canada’s first and only alternative art fair in Toronto this September.

The Gladstone and Drake Hotels are located in the heart of the West Queen West Gallery District.
Our roster of exhibitors includes over 20 great local, regional and international galleries, artists and curators. TAAFI will feature performances and video screenings complimented by daily lectures and panel discussions by nationally and internationally recognized curators and art critics. The admission price for lectures, panels, screenings and tours is included with the general admission. The fair will also be providing tours on Saturday and Sunday led by local artists.
7a*11d Performance Festival animates the Zen Room with works by Louise Lilifeldt and Zoë Stonyk.
Zoê Stonyk (September 30 & October 2 at 1pm, 4pm & 7pm)
"Last Year at The Overlook" is based on the idea of the hotel, both real and fictional, and how it functions as a permanent location for temporary experiences. Using imagery taken from film, this performance explores the unique tension that can only occur in such a place.
Zoë Stonyk is an artist and curator who works primarily in performance and installation. Her work often fuses elements of pop culture and ancient ritual. She is a frustrated romantic, pissed off that the real world isn't more like her dreams.
Louise Liliefeldt (times not indicated)
"Who Dat?" At the site please describe in writing (paper provided) what you understand the performance to be about or what it means to you. You do know what you are seeing.
From South Africa and based in Toronto, Louise Liliefeldts work is predominately concerned with the politics of identity as it intersects with issues of gender and race. Since the 1990s she has been active in organizing artistic collectives and events in Toronto, most notably the 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival. She has also presented her own work throughout North America and Europe.
