Invigorate...
Collectively over the course of 'Invigorate'
we explored a series of provocative questions
as artists and curators: Why have we formed
artist led projects? How do activist and
educational strategies relate to artistic
practice today? How do we as artists understand
community? How and why do we choose to collaborate?

Performance Work at Sunrise
Michelle and I are interested in the potential
of performance to respond to and uncover
site specific information. We are interested
in experiential research into space and
place. Through the interaction of the
body with site the body can act as a conduit
for understanding in performance. This
articulation of an understanding of a
place through performance allows us to
create a belonging to a place, a relationship
with a place and to tell its story to
an audience offering a way into its to
history, geography, ecology and phenomenology.

Animal acts: or 'the difficulty of being
a dog’
This presentation explored
representations of animality in a range
of contemporary art practices, and their
implications for the ways in which we
constitute the ‘human’. Focusing
on real dogs and human dog-impressionists,
the presentation l considered work by
Joseph Beuys (Coyote: I like America &
America likes me), Russian performance
artist Oleg Kulik (the Zoophrenia series),
Forced Enterainment (Showtime), Nobuhira
Narumi (the Dog-Cam projects), Langlands
& Bell (Zardad’s Dog), as well
as the Russian canine cosmonaut Laika.
Over the past 20 years, David Williams
has worked as a performance maker, writer,
translator and teacher in Australia, England
and the USA.
I assisted Art
Surgery in organising this
lecture.

On
The Prom
Was a site-specific experiential enquiry
into 'being' as discussed by Heidegger,
which took place on the Penzance promenade
over the summer in 2005.
I was interested in sharing my knowledge
and my relationship with the promenade
with the artists I worked with and in
discussing what it meant to 'be' there
with them. Through walking and talking
and making work on the prom we explored
a wide range of ideas, issues and ways
of working such as de Certeaus practice
of space, or how we make spaces into places
through our interaction with them. The
spatialised nature of language and therefore
thought through Bachelards 'etre la',
the parallels between quantum physics
and magic, and the relationship between
beauty, love and ecology as discussed
by Hillman. As we worked together we learned
about the interconnectedness of all things.
The show included live performance from
Michelle Horacek, Marc Greenwood, Liam
Yeates, Kathy Karpilov, and video from
Clelia Rinaldi and Sean Eisenstein.

Ignition
was a Digital/Live Art show which took
place in the Acorn Theatre in Penzance
in 2004.The show framed artists engagement
with digital technology, their use of
it, their invention, exploration and critique
of technology.
‘Ignition’ was an opportunity
for Live/Digital art to be viewed and
discussed in a public arts space. Live/digital
art is an area that has been under represented
in galleries/art spaces in the Southwest.
‘Ignition’ acted as a catalyst,
to inspire discussion, bring interested
people together, and aid in the creation
of the necessary infra- structure for
this art to be made and viewed.
The show included performance journalism
from Gilbert
and Grape, live radio mixing
by Neil
C Smith, cyborg technology
from Adam Montandon and Neil
Harnisson, animation by Babis
Alexiadis, interactive art by Glorious
ninth & the University
College Falmouth Interactive
Arts MA, Interactive Video art from Michael
Day, a VJ set by Paul
Mumford of VNAUT, an installation
by Steven
Paige, a performance and installation
by Ian
Clutterbuck, interactive browser
art from Michael
Takeo - Magruder and digital
filmas from Dan
Hopkins.
The event was an Artdept project and was
co curated by Ian Whitford and myself.
