Commitment Issues curated by Jess Dobkin

Commitment Issues presents the work of artists who use their bodies as primary source material to investigate qualities and dimensions of commitment – to ideas, to performance, to audience and to the artists themselves.

Notes on Myth-Making

REAL TO REEL

As an immaterial practice, performance art’s relationship to archive has always been a fraught one. Using their own/other documentation from the FADO archive, these five artists activate and challenge the linear narrative of the archive by creating new video works inspired by (or even using) their own documentation material.

Videos by Gustaf Broms (Sweden), Heather Rule (Canada), Margaret Dragu (Canada), MC Coble (USA/Sweden), Simla Civelek (Canada).

MONOMYTHS

The MONOMYTHS perception of the universal journey dispels the notion of the lone patriarchal figure on a conquest to vanquish his demons–both inner and outer–in consideration of community, collectivity, and collaboration.
