1. FADO CALL FOR PROPOSALS: FIVE HOLES: a matter of taste
Deadline: August 26, 2005

FIVE HOLES: a matter of taste
Curated by Paul Couillard

FIVE HOLES is an ongoing series examining the
significance of the body and the senses. Fado
invites artists to submit proposals for a matter
of taste, the final installment in the FIVE HOLES
series. We seek performance art works, including
conceptual, site-responsive and
installation-based performances, that deal with
the sense of taste. Approximately seven proposals
will be chosen to create a simultaneous ensemble
of events to be held in the summer of 2006 in
Toronto. The focus will be on Canadian artists
(i.e. at least four of the projects will feature
Canadian artists).

Taste is perhaps the most 'personal' of all the
senses. It is both primal -- providing the
impulses that drive consumption -- and
individualized: one person's desire is another's
poison. While the word 'taste' is often
associated with the concept of aesthetic
discernment, a matter of taste places its
emphasis on a specific, visceral definition of
taste: the perception of flavour (and perhaps
texture) that takes place inside our mouths. This
series will focus on projects that explore the
implications of a sense that operates through the
placement of foreign material inside one's body.

a matter of taste is not concerned with the
familiar social terrain of banquets and dinner
parties so much as the links between physical
sensation, unconscious/conscious drives, and our
mouths as a point of contact with the external
world. How does one orchestrate a performance for
another's mouth? What are the dynamics that
seduce, persuade or convince others to put things
in their mouths? What intentions are bound up in
the impulse to stimulate one's taste buds? What
does our sense of taste reveal about our internal
desires and external projections?

2. FADO CALL FOR PROPOSALS: IDea (2006-07 season)
Deadline: September 30, 2005

IDea (2006-07 season)
Curated by Paul Couillard

TORONTO, Canada ... IDea is an multi-year
international performance art series focused on
issues of identity. Fado seeks proposals for
performance art projects for the 2006-07 season
of IDea, including conceptual, site-responsive
and installation-based performances.

Chris Barker writes that cultural politics are
about "the power to name; the power to represent
common sense; the power to create 'official
versions'; and the power to represent the
legitimate social world." These powers speak to
identity in a territorial, institutionalized
framework, but performance practices offer the
possibility of turning their presumed weaknesses
-- contingency, ephemerality and aterritoriality
-- into strengths, by offering a potentially
decolonized, non-institutional forum.
The concept of identity has been at the forefront
of art discourse since the 1980s. Performance
artists have been particularly concerned with how
our various identities are constructed, how they
mark us and how they influence
self-understanding. At the same time, artists
have also used performance tactics to
problematize and transform their identities. In
recent years, the debate has shifted to examine
identity issues in subtler, less didactic ways,
using the territory of identity as a ground for
complex and often ambivalent readings of
subjectivity, hybridity and representation. IDea
seeks to add to this growing body of work.

The series considers a broad range of identity
labels, including gender, skin colour, ethnic
origin, religion, sexual orientation, physical
appearance, familial role, economic status,
political affiliation and profession, to name a
few of the more obvious possibilities. In blunt
terms, the series will circulate around an
underlying set of interrelated questions. How do
we accept or resist these multiple identities?
Which do we choose to embrace, and why? What
identity labels are misleading, unhelpful or
irrelevant, and in what ways? How do these labels
intersect with one another? How do they determine
the nature and quality of our lives? How do they
contribute to a sense of belonging or alienation?

While these questions inform the series, they are
only a contextualizing lens, not a prescription
for how individual projects should or will be
structured. IDea is not about representation, or
the politics of difference, which is to say that
the intention is not to assemble a collection
that presents one of each kind. We are not
encouraging strident political statements (though
there is certainly room for them), but rather,
featuring works that reveal something about how
the creators understand and situate themselves.
Along the way, we also hope to track how artists
use performance tactics to circumvent prescribed
attitudes and behaviours around identity.

IDea seeks to consider a range of bodily
identities -- physical, social, political,
emotional, and spiritual. To provide further
context for the series, we will commission
critical texts that respond to each of the
performances. These texts will come from an
interdisciplinary variety of thinkers in the
realms of philosophy, religion, politics and
science.

6. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: "Media Masquerade"Centre for Art Tapes (Halifax)
Deadline: August 1, 2005; Source: Instant Coffee

Media Masquerade
The Inner Dialogue of women in masquerade

In feminist theory, the discussion of the
masquerade has raised questions about how
societal values constrain or release feminine
energies. Masks, costumes and the masquerade
represent forms of oppression in contemporary
society, yet during a Masquerade one is freed of
certain social, marital and feminine
expectations. Media Masquerade: The Inner
Dialogue of Women in Masquerade suggests that
true feminine-expression can flourish. The
Masquerade is a tool of self-expression and
contradicts the assumption that one is hindered
by the act of masquerading.

This Centre for Art Tapes event will have two
components: A two-week all-women installation of
multi-media projects in collaboration with the
Anna Leonowens Art Gallery connected to the Nova
Scotia College of Art University; and a closing
reception where music, dancing, costumes and
performance will close the Media Masquerade.
Media Masquerade: The Inner Dialogue of Women in
Masquerade is co-curated by Mib and Tania Sures.

Submissions should address the theme of the
feminine masquerade and its psychological
complexity.
Please include CV, Artist Statement, One page
description of your proposal, and support
material.

whenever the comprehensive length will not exceed
20 minutes. The performance can be executed
directly by the artists, or with the intervention
of actors, musicians, or other personnel. They
can be conducted without the use of human beings

8. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: "Drive By Performance Series" (USA)
Deadline: August 8, 2005; Source: SeepArt

Links Hall and Seep request proposals for
site-specific work inside moving vehicles.
Artists may be drivers, passengers, or
instigators who are outside the car. Links Hall
will serve as a taxi stand from which audiences
can catch rides to experience each piece, but the
real location will be both inside the car and
simultaneously anywhere within driving distance.
There is a possibility that the car doesn't go
anywhere. There is a possibility that the car
drives to a specific place, or that it drives
around in circles. Maybe the performance gets
out of the car at a certain point, or maybe it is
an event which is best viewed from the window of
a speeding car. What is important is that
proposals are centered around the car as a place
and an idea.

Proposals should contain a 1-2 page overview,
resume, and work sample (DVD, NTSC VHS, photos,
slides, relevant notes, etc.) Also, please
indicate the following: approximate length of
piece (ideally 15 minutes to one hour), any
equipment needed, whether you are able to provide
your own car, whether the piece is repeatable,
dates of availability (for November 2005).
Audiences will be charged a small entry fee per
ride to cover gas, and to compensate you for your
work. While the aim is to explore radical
aesthetic possibilities of the car, please keep
in mind basic safety and feasibility on a limited
budget.

Submissions from outside Chicago:
We are open to proposals from anywhere, but
unfortunately cannot provide travel expenses. We
will secure informal accommodation for your stay
in Chicago, and we will assist you in any way we
can to secure funding from your own sources.
Proposals from within driving distance of Chicago
are especially welcome.

Drive By will be held on three Saturday afternoons: November 5/12/19, 2005.
Please mail or drop off your proposal to
Links Hall (3435 N. Sheffield, 2nd Floor, Chicago
IL 60657) by August 8th, 2005.
Please enclose a stamped addressed envelope if
you require any materials returned.
Proposals will be reviewed and artists selected
by Deva Eveland on behalf of the curatorial
collaboration Seep.
Queries may be emailed to seepart@aol.com

11. NEWS: House of Commons Changes Criminal Code
to Eliminate Defence of Artistic Merit
Source: Ontario Association of Art Galleries

On Thursday, June 9, 2005, notwithstanding prior
advice over the past two years by arts service
organizations across Canada of significant
potential harm to Canadian visual artists and
galleries, the House of Commons of Canada passed
Bill C-2, An Act to amend the Criminal Code
(protection of children and other vulnerable
persons) and the Canada Evidence Act.

The Bill is in the process of Senate approval.

The Criminal Code was amended in this area in
1993 by a then-minority government. Within six
months of the amendment, Ontario police invoked
the opportunity of public response to an art
exhibition review in a national newspaper to lay
charges against both the exhibiting visual artist
and the director of a non-profit artist-run
centre in Toronto. Works of art seized in the
raid at the time of the charges were held for a
year and subjected to a trial to determine
whether or not they would be destroyed or
returned to the artist.

Bill C-2 further amends the Criminal Code of
Canada to eliminate the language of defence of
artistic merit and replace it with what is being
called the legitimate purpose defence.

Legitimate Purpose Defence: The legislation
narrows the test for the child pornography
defence. The new defence would only be available
if (1) the act in question has a legitimate
purpose related to the administration of justice,
or to science, medicine, education or art, and if
(2) the act does not pose an undue risk of harm
to children. This single legitimate purpose
defence incorporates the harm-based standard used
by the Supreme Court of Canada in upholding the
existing child pornography provisions in 2001.

The new Act broadens the definition of child
pornography to include both audio and written
material.

Bill C-2 criminalizes voyeurism. The new offences
prohibit secret observation (by any means) or
recording, in circumstances where there is a
reasonable expectation of privacy, in three cases:

when the person observed or recorded is in a
place where a person is expected to be in a state
of nudity, or engaged in sexual activity (such as
bedroom, bathroom or changing room); or
when the person is in a state of nudity or
engaged in sexual activity and the purpose is to
observe or record the person in such a state or
activity; or
when the observation or recording is done for a sexual purpose.

The second voyeurism offence involves
distribution of voyeuristic material and requires
that the accused knew the material was created
during one of the circumstances described above.

From the following link:

<http://www.parl.gc.ca/38/1/parlbus/chambus/house/bills/government/C-2/C>http://www.parl.gc.ca/38/1/parlbus/chambus/house/bills/government/C-2/C-2_3/C-2-3E.html

"SUMMARY

This enactment amends the Criminal Code to

(a ) amend the child pornography provisions with respect to the type of
written and audio material that constitutes child pornography,and with
respect to the child pornography offences,defences and penalties;

(b ) add a new category to the offence of sexual exploitation of young
persons and make additional amendments to further protect children from
sexual exploitation;

(c) increase the maximum penalty for child sexual offences,for failing to
provide the necessaries of life and for abandoning a child;

(d ) make child abuse an aggravating factor for the purpose of sentencing and
direct the courts to give primary consideration to the objectives of
denunciation and deterrence in sentencing for offences involving abuse of
a child;

(e) amend and clarify the applicable test and criteria that need to be met for
the use of testimonial aids,for excluding the public, for imposing a
publication ban, for using video-recorded evidence or for appointing counsel
for self-represented accused to conduct a cross-examination of certain
witnesses;and

(f )create an offence of voyeurism and the distribution of voyeuristic
material.

This enactment also amends the Canada Evidence Act to abolish the
requirement for a competency hearing for children under 14 years of age."

On June 29, 2005, Fado kicks off its new IDea
series with The Sun is Crooked in the Sky; My
Father is Thrown over my Shoulders a continuous
100-hour performance by Guatemalan-born Canadian
artist Naufus Ramirez-Figueroa.

The Sun is Crooked in the Sky; My Father is
Thrown over my Shoulders is a visceral, searching
visual and action-based exploration of aspects of
the artist's personal history. In his notes for
the performance, Ramirez-Figueroa writes:

"The artist's family, like many other Guatemalan
-- and Latin American -- families, has dealt with
common, though taboo issues of class and race
differences that have affected the family
dynamic. In the case of Ramirez-Figueroa there is
a history of indigenous women having the children
of whiter men, men who become fathers unwilling
to recognize the children as their own. By using
metaphorical elements of his childhood -- like
powdered milk -- and through sleep deprivation,
Ramirez-Figueroa will push the limits of his
endurance with the purpose of reaching an altered
state of consciousness through which to meditate
upon a genealogy of absent white fathers."

About the artist

Naufus Ramirez-Figueroa is a performance and
visual artist based in Vancouver. For the past 7
years he has performed and exhibited at various
Canadian artist-run centers and in galleries and
museums in Latin America. Ramirez-Figueroa's
work attempts to create an opening for dialogue
around ethics and inter-personal relations in
issues such as racial cleansing, economic
globalization, and love.

About the IDea series

Issues of identity are at the centre of IDea,
Fado's newest new multi-year international
performance art series. The concept of identity
has been at the forefront of art discourse since
the 1980s. Performance artists have been
particularly concerned with how our various
identities are constructed, how they mark us and
how they influence self-understanding. At the
same time, artists have also used performance
tactics to problematize and transform their
identities. In recent years, the debate has
shifted to examine identity issues in subtler,
less didactic ways, using the territory of
identity as a ground for complex and often
ambivalent readings of subjectivity, hybridity
and representation.

IDea considers a broad range of identity labels,
including gender, skin colour, ethnic origin,
religion, sexual orientation, physical
appearance, familial role, economic status,
political affiliation and profession, to name a
few of the more obvious possibilities. In blunt
terms, the series will circulate around an
underlying set of interrelated questions. How do
we accept or resist these multiple identities?
Which do we choose to embrace, and why? What
identity labels are misleading, unhelpful or
irrelevant, and in what ways? How do these labels
intersect with one another? How do they determine
the nature and quality of our lives? How do they
contribute to a sense of belonging or alienation?
