Stories in a Box by Magnús Logi Kristinsson
The artist is inside a large wooden box, and he is telling a story. A story about himself from his times in Iceland. He only shows one foot and one hand to the audience and with that hand, he give extra details to the story.

That’s OK by Denis Romanovski

To mean nothing—that’s OK.
To have money and to be hungry—that’s OK.
To do nothing under surveillance—that’s OK.
To wait for better times and to be still alive—that’s OK.
To hate museums and rebellions—that’s OK.
To sing for old people and to dance with strangers—that’s OK.
ETC.

—That’s OK Manifesto (fragment); written in collaboration with KKH students

The Toronto Performance Art Collective (TPAC) is a not-for-profit, artist-driven collective that curates and produces the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art—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 took place in August 1997 and presented the work of sixty local, national and international artists. The 9th edition of the festival takes place from October 24–28, 2012.
