University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, London, W1B 2UW<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) of the University of Westminster is convening <i>Exhibiting Performance</i>, a three-day event considering contemporary issues central to the display of performanceart. Following on from the <i>Exhibiting Photography</i> (2011) and <i>Exhibiting Video</i> (2012) International Conferences, this event will bring together notable artists, curators and writers, and provide a forum for a number of inter-related questions:</div>
<ul type="disc">
<li style="text-align: justify;">On what terms has the rise of Performance in contemporary arts taken place?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">How do our museums and galleries disseminate and exhibit Performance?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">How does the live act of Performance inform questions around the body and the audience?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">How is Performance documented, archived and transacted?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">How does technology contribute to the development of Performance?</li>
</ul>
The conference will be framed by the exhibition of work by artists and writers responding to a live performance by Philip Lee and Cally Trench<i> Do you remember it – or weren’t you there?</i> at London Gallery West, and <i>Indeterminacy, </i>a John Cage performance by Stewart Lee, Tania Chen and Steve Beresford.<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
There will be four half-day themes:<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Curating: </b>With Tate Modern opening the Tanks for performance events and Marina Abramovic’s major exhibition at New York’s MoMA in 2010, is performance art now mainstream, and on what terms? How do museums and galleries understand performance art?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Dissemination and Documentation:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How is performance documented? If you missed the performance is that it? What value does an art work in a different medium which gives a memory of a performance have?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Body and Audiences:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is the role of the body in performance today ? Why do so many performance artists perform naked ? Is the naked body a sign of authenticity or does the taboo distract from meaning ? How is the relationship between artist and audience different from or similar to other areas of art?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Performanceand Technology:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How does technology mediate performance ? What are the ontologies of networked, mediated and recorded performance practices ? How is videoperformance ‘live’? How do different technologies of camera (webcam, surveillance, etc) and screens (CRT, flat, projection, mobile phone, computer, etc) change our concept of performance?</div>
<br />

<p><b><i>Body Body Clay Pane</i></b> is a live body performance with clay, devised in response to Adam Marsh’s installation, <b><i>A throne is only a bench covered in velvet</i></b>. Philip Lee and Cally Trench will struggle to cover each other in clay slip. Colluding in the discomfort and punishment each will be playing by particular rules unknown to the viewer, and at times to each other. The performance contains nudity.</p>

<p>Concatenation is a series of interconnected things or events; engaging with an initiative conceived by Sophie Loss in collaboration with Stone Squid Experimental Art Space five artists follow the Exquisite Corpse procedure.</p>
<p>Exquisite Corpse or <i>cadavre exquis</i> was the game of consequences as employed, most notably by the Surrealists, with the intention to engender chance unexpected outcomes in collective works - a word or two, or a small portion of a drawing left visible from the edge of folded paper passed on to, and evolved by the next person in the chain.</p>
<p>The Exquisite Stone Corpse is a group project by artists; Judy Goldhill, Joanna Hill, Philip Lee, Sophie Loss & John McDowall. Each of the five artists, who utilise different mediums in their practice, will sequentially create a work developed from the previous participant's fragment.</p>
<p>The passed-on fragment may be a part of the completed work or an aspect of its developmental process. A specific time interval is allocated to each artist within the project’s six months period, following which, the artists will collaborate with Stone Squideas on the installation.</p>
<p><b><i>The installation has a live element which contains adult content.</i></b></p>

<h4>Between Gallery and Bookshop</h4>
<p>Distribution and Artists' Books</p>
<p><b>Talk:</b> 25th April 2009 18:00 - 21:00</p>
<p>IMT presents <em>Between Gallery and Bookshop</em>, a talk with Gordon Shrigley, Emily Speed and Kelly Wellman on artists' books to coincide with an exhibition of books by artists' collective AM BRUNO at the bookartbookshop. The talk is to address questions of distribution and display context for artists who use books as a medium for creative practice. How do different contexts of distribution affect the creation of and engagement with artists' books? Between Gallery and Bookshop attempts to look at artists' books via the channels through which they reach their readers.</p>
<p>In addition to the talk the gallery will be open from noon on the 25th of April with a curated display of books by members of AM BRUNO. The talk is free however places are limited.</p>
<p>Gordon Shrigley runs Marmalade and Filmarmalade, publishers of contemporary works of visual theory in the form of either drawing, text, photography or video. Both the artists' book publisher Marmalade, and the video DVD label Filmarmalade grew out of a desire to promote and distribute works that allow artists the space to ‘think the visual [. . .] through the act of a sustained looking, talking and working with and through media'.</p>
<p>Emily Speed is an artist based in Liverpool. She founded and coordinated Liverpool Artists' Book Fair in 2008 and is part of the artist-led space Wolstenholme Projects.</p>
<p>Kelly Wellman has an MA in artists' books. She teaches at Camberwell and runs bookartbookshop with Tanya Peixoto.</p>
<p>Between Gallery and Bookshop has been organised by artists collective AM BRUNO and IMT Gallery. AM BRUNO is an alliance of 24 artists initiated by MA fine art graduates from Central Saint Martins. AM BRUNO represents current artistic thought, practice and sensibility translated and expanded into book art form. The artists in the group are visual and conceptual practitioners in all media, including painting, photography, video, performance and sculpture. The themes vary from inquiry into the nature of books/sketchbooks, human body/desire/private life, the value of artificiality, writing/image and time.</p>
<p>An exhibition of artists' books by AM BRUNO will also be held at the bookartbookshop from 25 April - 2nd May 2009.</p>

<div class="fullpost">
<p><img src="http://www.philiplee.co.uk/images/0904-white3-judy-goldhill.jpg" width="400" height="259" alt="Philip Lee: White III. Image copyright Judy Goldhill" class="inline_right" align="right" />Philip Lee performs <em>Colours I 2009</em>, a new live body piece performed for the first time incorporating body paints and water. Lee applies body-paint in a ritualistic and methodical way, from head to toe and then toe to head, and so on. Different coloured paints are used for each sequence, as the body's skin becomes an ever-changing palimpsest. Lee struggles to follow his self-imposed schedule in an action that is symbolic of the journey through life to the deep unknown. As a living sculpture, Lee interrogates artistic traditions while the viewer is forced to consider the terrifying transience of corporeal existence.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.philiplee.co.uk/images/0904-yason-banal.jpg" width="400" height="269" alt="Yason Banal" class="inline_right" align="right" />Yason Banal will present <em>Untitled/Again (Marienbad)</em>; a video and performance inspired by Alain Robert-Grillet and Alain Resnais' cold classic <em>Last Year at Marienbad</em>. <em>Untitled/Again (Marienbad)</em> is a constellation of the space-time continuum, purgatorial ennui and art haut naturalism, as well as photographic amnesia, cinematic stillness and sculptural performance. Yason Banal forms a contemporary constellation around etiquette, lethargy and stupor by transporting Marienbad to different cities, inhabited by human figurines, sculptural garments and gallery artifacts. Courtauld Institute students will form a doom couture styled tableaux vivant that will accompany the video screening.</p>
<p>Due to popular demand, Stephen Walter’s exhibition of <em>The Island: London Series</em> has now been extended until July 2009.</p>
<p>If you require any further information or wish to arrange a private tour of the collection for yourself, friends or clients then please do get in touch. Catalogues will also be available for artists to collect for the duration of the weekend.</p>

<h3>At Play @ New Exhibitions at South Hill Park</h3>
<p><b>18 April - 21 June 2009</b></p>
<h4>Opening reception: Friday 17 April, 6pm - 8.30pm. All welcome!</h4>
<p>I am delighted to invite you to the opening reception of the new At Play season at South Hill Park on Friday 17 April, 6pm - 8.30pm.</p>
<p><b>At Play</b> in the Bracknell Gallery and Tall Hall explores ideas about play: making magic and being transformed, passing the time, messing about and making a mess, being yourself and pretending to be someone else, having secrets, making dens, belonging to gangs, creating rules and rituals, taking dares and chances, making and exploring small worlds. The exhibition re-creates in both adults and children a sense of what it is like to be a child at play. It encourages the viewer to gaze, to remember, to touch, to explore, to trust, to think, to laugh, to peer, to concentrate, to join in, to bend down, to take a chance … and to play. <em>At Play 1</em> features work by <b>Marco Cali, Marcin Gajewski, Rosie Gibson, Judy Goldhill & Sophie Loss, Susan Eyre, Cathy Hart & Esther Jervis, Aaron Head, Pernille Holm-Mercer, Ingrid Jensen, Philip Lee, Siobhan McAuley, Samantha Mogelonsky, Fedor Pavlov-Andreevich, Kay Sentance, Liz Whiteman Smith, John Tenniel</b> and <b>Cally Trench</b>. <em>At Play 2</em> returns on 17 April – 20 June 2010 for a mansion-wide exhibition. <em>At Play 1</em> and <em>2</em> are co-curated by Cally Trench and Outi Remes.</p>
<p>The opening reception also celebrates the opening of the <em>Images 32</em> group exhibition in the mansion spaces, presenting the best of British contemporary illustration and is the most prestigious and comprehensive illustration award show in the UK.</p>
<p>The <em>At Play</em> season includes the following live art events: <b>Philip Lee</b> explores extreme forms of child’s play and pleasure in doing something that an adult is not supposed to do. Lee’s <em>Sitting Slip</em> is performed on 17 April 2009 during the opening reception, 6.00pm – 7.30pm. Lee’s performance is followed by <em>Dead Radio</em>, a performance by <b>Fedor Pavlov-Andreevich</b> on 17 April 2009 during the opening reception, 7.30pm – 8.30pm. The audience is invited to twiddle the artist’s knobs making him physically switch from station to station – signing, reading news, quoting popular radio shows – all from the Soviet Union era. Also, don’t miss <em>Sandcastles</em> by <b>Kay Sentance</b> in the Bracknell town centre and the arts centre during the exhibition and opening day. <em>Sandcastles</em>, far from a beach, aims to provide playful reminders and surprising chance encounters between the sandcastles and the public.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy <em><b>At Play</b></em> at South Hill Park.</p>

<p>Please read carefully the following from Kyra Cane - Course Leader for the BA Hons Ceramics at Harrow.</p>
<p>If you are able to write a letter and sign the Number 10 petition I would be very grateful.</p>
<p>Apologies if you have received this already.</p>
<hr />
<p>I am writing to let you know about the planned closure of the ceramics course at Harrow, the University of Westminster, and to ask you to support the campaign of protest.</p>
<div class="fullpost">
<p>The Harrow ceramics course has been in existence for 45 years. It is regarded as the pre-eminent course of its kind, a place where students can learn the craft of ceramics in the context of proper art-history and contextual studies. It has consistently led the discipline in thinking about the place that ceramics can hold in our society. It has forged links with industry, with international ceramic centres and with major museums.</p>
<p>Many of the most innovative and respected ceramicists in Britain today have studied on this course, or have taught on it.</p>
<p>The Harrow ceramics course is a benchmark within Europe for its balance of technical knowledge and criticality.</p>
<p>All craft skills are expensive to teach within a university context, but ceramics is a discipline that is fundamental to the health of our visual arts. It is an academic discipline that needs support.</p>
<p>The School of Media, Arts and Design has given the ceramics course a brief two months for consultation. If you would be able to support then please write to :</p>
<p style="margin-left: 20px;">Professor Geoffrey Petts<br />Vice Chancellor<br />University of Westminster<br />309 Regent Street<br />London<br />W1B 2UW<br /> <br />G.Petts@westminster.ac.uk</p>
<p>Sending a copy to both:</p>
<p style="margin-left: 20px;">Kyra Cane,<br />Course Leader : Ceramics<br />University of Westminster,<br />Harrow Campus, Watford Rd, Harrow HA1 3TP<br /> <br />canek@westminster.ac.uk</p>
<p>and</p>
<p style="margin-left: 20px;">Sally Feldman<br />Dean of Media Art and Design<br />University of Westminster,<br />Harrow Campus, Watford Rd, Harrow HA1 3TP<br /> <br />feldmas@wmin.ac.uk</p>
<p>There is also a petition at No 10 Downing Street which our students have submitted and if you would consider signing this I would also be very grateful: <a href="http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/CeramicsHarrow/" target="_blank">petitions.number10.gov.uk/CeramicsHarrow/</a></p>
<p>The petition reads:</p>
<div style="margin: 5px 40px;">
<p>We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop the closure of the Harrow Ceramics Degree course.</p>
<p>The University of Westminster are proposing to close their highly acclaimed Harrow Ceramics Degree Course. Recruitment of new students has been suspended and there are plans to close the course by 2013, which will coincide with the 50th Anniversary of ceramics teaching at Harrow.</p>
<p>The decision has been made despite the course's long held outstanding national and international reputation; first class academic standing and a distinguished assembly of professional expertise including Edmund de Waal, Emmanuel Cooper, Kyra Cane, Professor Christie Brown, Professor Nigel Wood, Steve Buck, Clare Twomey and a roster of world famous ceramicists as both alumni and staff. Its closure has huge significance for British art, craft and design.</p>
<p>We call on the University to reverse this decision, reinstate the recruitment of new students and SAVE HARROW CERAMICS.</p>
</div>
<p>I would appreciate it if you can send this information out to as many interested parties as possible, it is essential that people are aware that this is a principle which goes far beyond the remit of my own University.</p>
