FADO Performance Art Centre presents Dr. V. Does the Classics by Will Kwan, in the context of the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art.

The artist, dressed in a baby blue Viagra pill mascot costume, arrives to the opening night of the festival and enacts three classic performances created by three male performance icons:

Failing to Levitate in the Studio by Bruce Nauman
Following Piece by Vito Acconci
And an over the top filing cabinet ‘love scene’ by Istvan Kantor (Monty Canstin AMEN!)

“To fulfill our Purpose and achieve our Vision, we abide by enduring values. We are deeply committed. We recognize that people are the cornerstone of success, and we value our diversity as a source of strength. Innovation is the key. We know that to be successful we must work together, frequently transcending organizational and geographic boundaries to meet changing needs. We demand the highest ethical standards, and our products and processes will be of the highest quality. We strive for continuous improvement in our performance, measuring results carefully, and ensuring that integrity and respect for people are never compromised.”

7A*11D is a not-for-profit, artist-driven collective that curates and produces English Canada’s oldest ongoing biennial of performance art. 7A*11D was established in 1997 by a group of performance artists, collectives, and organizers, eager to develop a forum for performance art in Toronto. The first 7A*11D International Festival of Performance Art, in August 1997, presented the work of 60 local, national and international artists.
