hosted by: Independent Curators International (iCI)
iCI (Independent Curators International) is currently featuring a 2005 email of mine – in response to a cease-and-desist letter from Marina Abramovic – on their research blog, Dispatch. The curators – Mariana Azevedo, Sakina Namazi, Shannon Ryan, Keeli Shaw – have put together a nice selection of responses to and ideas on the theme of "Performance and Reperformance".

“A Little Louder: Performance in Conversation”
In this series, arists/curators Asher Hartman and Carol McDowell look at the ideas of conversation and performance to ask simply, 'what are people thinking?" Artists in this series are invited to perform, converse, and listen with singular purpose of circulating new ideas through the lens of performance.
The pairing of artists asks us to look in between art works, at the electric space of gaps and connection. Listening can be like scavenging, collecting facets of thought-- concerted statements and unplanned segues--detailing what the speaker is conscious of (or not). meshing with and advancing our own ideas.
As performance practitioners, we're curious about the nature of what we do, its exigencies, and how it responds or recedes from the larger cultural landscape. We invited people who are simply interesting to watch, to listen to, whose ideas give us ideas. We hope you'll join us in the spirit of exploration and discovery.
. . .
Spirit Resurrection is a platform for performance inspired by the historic 1980 Public Spirit festival. A series of new performances and re-inventions of historic works will be organized through a calendar structure based on the original. This website offers an archive of the original festival combined with an open source platform for artists to participate in the project and the larger Pacific Standard Time festival. Performances will be staged at artist-run spaces, non-profits, and other sites in Los Angeles and beyond.
Spirit Resurrection was commissioned by LACE as part of Los Angeles Goes Live: Performance Art in Southern California 1970-1983 an exhibition and performance series that explores the histories and legacies of performance art in Southern California in the 70s and early 80s. Los Angeles Goes Live is part of Pacific Standard Time. This unprecedented collaboration, initiated by the Getty, brings together more than sixty cultural institutions from across Southern California for six months beginning October 2011 to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.

ARTIST BAILOUT: COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER FEEDS PATRONS WHILE BENEFITING LOCAL ARTS ORGANIZATIONS & COLLECTIVES
November 30, 2011, Los Angeles: Artist Bailout is a community driven means to fund the arts during the current economic crisis. This new philanthropic model brings together artists and patrons for a dinner which is part performance, part fundraiser and culminates in the awarding of two micro-grants. The third Artist Bailout will be held at Human Resources on Saturday, December 10th from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. This upcoming Artist Bailout will differ from the previous events as proceeds raised will go toward local artist-run organizations, rather than individual artists.
At the Artist Bailout, patrons contribute donations on a sliding scale ($10 to $10M!) and receive a delicious meal and a ballot. While attendees enjoy their dinner, seven pre-selected Los Angeles-based arts organizations will present proposals for funding which will benefit their current programs and/or special projects they are hoping to realize. The participants—all selected from a pool of organizations that responded to an open call for proposals—include: Slanguage Studios, the Mobile Museum of Riverside Chinatown, Actual Size L.A., Outpost for Contemporary Art, Knowledges, Mobile Pinhole Project and Signify, Sanctify, Believe. Once the presentations conclude, dinner-goers vote for their favorite, and the two arts organizations that receive the most votes split the money donated at the door. These micro-grants will be used to fund the winning projects.
As a special bonus for the winners of this upcoming Artist Bailout, GOOD (www.good.is) will make a donation matching the total proceeds raised throughout the evening, up to $1,000. Initial funding for this event was generously provided by Woodbury University’s Department of Art History. Winners will also receive a free copy of GYST Ink software.
“Our hope is that the Artist Bailout will become an on-going support system for Los Angeles artists in a time when funding for the arts is vanishing,” expressed organizers Elana Mann, Laura Noguera , Michael Rippens, Autumn Rooney and Jenn Su. “Together we can share our resources to support each other’s projects, both creatively and financially. We are excited to collaborate in funding interesting and relevant projects and experimenting with unconventional philanthropic models.”

Friends, please join us for an intimate gathering and bailraiser at Machine Project’s Storefront Plaza in support of four AAAAAA artists arrested at the occupyLA eviction earlier this week!
On November 30th, AAAAAArtists John Burtle, Kim Calder, Marcy Saude, and Adam Overton were imprisoned by the LAPD while practicing nonviolent civil disobedience at City Hall. After 24+ grueling hours in the slammer, all four were bailed out with the help of friends. We’re now trying to raise $2000 to help cover each of their non-refundable $500 bail bonds. Any amount in excess of this will help pay for other possible legal fees and fines incurred in the coming month. Excess funds beyond that will be donated to the larger #OccupyLA bailout fund to help some of the nearly 300 other people who were also arrested.
Sunday evening festivities may include:
Please dress warmly! By moving Machine Project’s front windows 20 feet back, Nate Page’s Storefront Plaza has turned most of Machine’s interior space into public space!
If you can’t make it out on Sunday evening, we also welcome online donations via wepay.com: https://www.wepay.com/donate/AAAAAAoccupyBail
Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated!!
Thank you so much for your support!!
AAAAAAA is a loose affiliation of artists who've come together to express solidarity with each other and the occupy movement in response to the "economic crisis".
