SUMMER SERIES

Amitis Motevalli
"Right; Rite; Write Piece"
doors open at 7:00pm

Right; Rite; Write Piece is based on the attempt to claim imposed language and create something which gives agency to those who speak, write or listen to it. Many who communicate in "informal" English at home or with loved ones understand the shift and sometimes block that occurs when in a dominant context that uses "formal" English such as institutions and in printed documentation. In the piece, Amitis will claim a language which she considers "unnatural" by telling the story of her learning English by writing in almost a purge. While she is writing, she will allow the audience to pick up permanent markers and write on her clothes, her body and even her scroll telling her story. She will remain passive to the audience until the end of the performance.

My conceptualization is based on the significance-conflict of occupying the roles of both artist and performer; inviting everyone to take on these roles challenges social rules and raises issues of personal boundaries and comfort, exhibitionism and materialism.

Catherine Lord - specializes in salvage operations and philosophical conundrums. Commencing at about 8:30 on 18 August at LACE, accompanied by a video camera, she will undertake a live keyboard performance of representational oblivion, gender greed, the dematerialization of the object, anti-aesthetics, bad choices, the female body, conceptual art, forgetting, the market, audience participation and the mind-body split.

Peter Frank - Various adroit performateurs will interpret various of the Fluxus, fluxist, and fluxish scores and notations I have written over the last forty years. Or not.
