Invitation for participation in:
NOPERFORMANCE
A traveling show of Performance Works never realized
during August 2009.
CONCEPT
A show of performance works that never were realized because of practical,
economical, institutional or personal reasons or censure in any way or any
other reason - NOPERFORMANCE.
BASE
The majority of all the performances will never be realized depending on
many different reasons. The world only knows about the presented performance
works but not about the NOPERFORMANCES.
A NOPERFORMANCE could be a performance works that was never presented or
realized because:
- it was not possible to fund
- was censored
- for practical reasons: not enough space, technical problems etc.
- for personal reasons
- or just did not have energy enough to make reality of the idea
Anything goes. Think creatively!
Not to forget the contradiction of that performance works never presented or
realized will be shown in several countries.
STRUCTURE OF PRESENTATIONS
The show will be presented in a numbre of sites in Latin America during
August 2009. The installation and presentation of the show in each site will
have the same characters as a performance:
- limited in time: could be limited to 15 min or 1 hour or one evening or a
day or two. Depending on each context.
- site specific: the presentation of the show will be adapted and changed
according to each site, everything from gallery, culture centre, artist
studios etc.
