<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:xx-small;">#19 Intensified Dialogues from the 6th till the 15th of May in Trybunalski and Krákow ( Poland ) </span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;font-size:xx-small;">in cooperation with the international performance art festival Interakcje, curated by Arti Grabowski</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;font-size:xx-small;">Intensified dialogues is investigating the permanent conflicts in our daily life encounters on an emotional and intellectual level. As social beings, we are thinking in categories and classifications, we are consisting of numerous contradictions regarding our personal history and origins. This influences our behaviors and images in encounters with each other. During the workshop we will experience our differences in the ways we are sharing ideas and interests and dealing with conflicts and limitations. This cultural, emotional and aesthetical diversity is seen as a value and a chance to formulate and express individual positions and intensify each individual artistic expression.</span></p>

It is a big pleasure for PAS to thank a great audience at the Flutgraben e.V./Berlin for our first PASproject 2011 &#8220;From Me To You&#8221; on last Sunday. We all have seen an inspiring performance art event with tea, coffee and handmade cake from the bakery &#8220;Seidenschnur&#8221;. Eight young performance artists have written performances as a gift &#8220;from me to you&#8221;. </span></span></p>

<p>We also had our first run with a live stream, and can say, it was an experiment. We do apologies for inconveniences because of technical problems. But we want to continue to improve this as a technical opportunity.<br />
The next PASproject will be in Vienna . More information soon.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Born in Belfast, N. Ireland in 1958, Stitt is considered one of Europe&#8217;s foremost performance and interdisciplinary artists. He has worked as an experimental artist since 1976 creating hundreds of unique works at major galleries, festivals, alternative venues and sites specific throughout the world. Recent work includes: Venice Biennale 2005, Baltic Contemporary Art Centre, England 2005, The Drawing Centre, New York, 2006, Artspace, Sydney 2007, Asiatopia, Bangkok 2008, Spacex Gallery, England 2008, The Lab, New York, 2009, MCAC, Northern Ireland 2009.

<p style="text-align:justify;">Title: Amnesia [Cluster Overdrive]</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em> “The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">-Schopenhauer</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Through spoken word, text, sound and projected image Stitt will reflect on the place of performance and art making in his life. From his childhood, and the civil conflict in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to a life spent traveling and making art around the world, Stitt considers how memory and recall, allegory, communal narrative, conflict, codes and myth inform the present.</p>

As visual artist, he exhibited his paintings, sculptures and installations on international level.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The German VERENA STENKE studied Fine Arts and Makeup artistry. She trained martial arts, Contemporary and Butoh dance during her living in Berlin. In Florence she studied in intensive laboratories with Kassim Bayatly theater and rites and dances of Sufism, as well as Social Theatre with IsoleComprese Teatro. She works in sound and video art, and evolved her personal way of performative expression integrating techniques of innovative mask- and make-up artistry.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Title: BALADA CORPORAL</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The performance series BALADA CORPORAL consists of currently four parts. It speaks about the continuity of becoming, the difficulties of real encounters unleashing the physical boundaries of body surface, and transformation through concrete communication- physical, psychological, verbal and non-verbal. The visitors gather with the performers to re-awaken what is constitutional to all humans: the expressive power of body and language. These keynotes help to overcome the actual frozen state of being- not as a matter of nostalgia, but rather to ingrain pure poetry into life by re-evaluating the necessity of honest and sincere human interchange.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Part I: Solid Body &#8211; Emotional Body</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Part II: Liquid Body &#8211; Political Body</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Part III: Aerial Body &#8211; Spiritual Body</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Part IV: Fragile Body &#8211; Private Body</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Expected Duration: 35 minutes</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Xing Xin, born in 1981, Chongqing, China, graduated from Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts, majoring in Sculpture. He currently lives and works in Chengdu, Sichuan, as freelance artist. Since the year 2003 when he started doing performance art gaining more exposure in China, Italy, and Belgium. Xin Xing’s performance works developed from his investigations as a sculptor into more complex installations to explore concepts of time, space and existence to express the human condition. He was given a Merit Award during the Inward Gazes: Exhibition of Documentaries of Chinese Performance Arts 2008, Macao Museum of Art.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Title: Playing with a Random Pinch of Hair of Mine Cut by Myself</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This thought is derived from the personal memory of my childhood.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the 1980s, the materials in China were still indigent, and the mass public wasn’t so well informed from the outside world. Everyone was living an ambiguous life in a slow pace, only to reach the Primary Stage of Socialism. And that&#8217;s when I was born and raised.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">At that time, every morning from 7:30 to 12:00, every afternoon from 14:30 to 17:00, and every night from 19:30 to 21:00, I had to sit in front of the desk, pretending to be studying. Studying is good, but I didn&#8217;t know why I had to study, or why I had to study well, which made it very boring! Therefore, in those identical days of almost twenty years, I learned how to kill time by myself.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Duration: Xing Xin will perform in the Random Room from 7.30pm till late,</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a href="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/jasonlim.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-920" src="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/jasonlim.jpg?w=510" alt=""   /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jason Lim’s practice transverses ceramics, sculpture and performance art and is regarded as a maverick in the ceramics field, Lim has radically shifted assumptions about ceramics as a discipline, pushing its potential as a media in installation and performance art. Lim’s performances often play on boundaries of risky precarious situations, teasing the audiences with a cheeky use of the materials and spaces. He has participated in various international performance festivals and had taken up residency programs in Japan, The Netherlands, Australia and U.S.A. Lim was involved in initiating “UTOPIA”, an alternative art gallery in 1996 and was co-Artistic Director of Future of Imagination 2, in 2004. In 2005, he organized StopOver – Singapore/Japan performance art meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore. In 2007, Lim presented his work in the Singapore Pavilion for the 52nd Venice Biennale in the same year he was awarded the Juror Prize in the 4th Ceramics Biennale in Incheon, Korea. In the following year, his work was shortlisted for the Grand Prize in the Taiwan Ceramics Biennale 08.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Title: Toys, experiments and other accidents.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Description: This performance is the first of a new series of work that I have been researching and experimenting since the last few years. In my research I have been trawling through the internet to learn about home made scientific devices and experiments. In my research, I was fascinated by the element of sounds that were produced from simply made kinetic devices and sound making mechanics. I am also interested with the sometimes unexpected outcomes and visual effects that these objects and materials (simple household and consumption materials like, batteries, magnets, cloth hanger, soft drinks just to name a few). During the performance I will construct these devices live and generated will be amplified to create a soundscape during the performance.</p>

<h3><strong>Mike Cooper</strong></h3>
<p>&#8220;For the past 40 years Mike Cooper has traced a path completely his own as an international musical explorer, performing and recording, solo and in a number of inspired groupings and a variety of genres. With his roots lying in acoustic country blues he has, arguably, stretched the possibilities of the guitar even more than his better known contemporaries, Davy Graham, Bert Jansch, John Renbourne etc. by pursuing it into the more avant-garde musical areas also occupied by contemporary guitar innovators such as Elliott Sharp, Keith Rowe, Fred Frith and Marc Ribot, with an eclectic mix of the many styles Cooper has practiced over the years. Ranging freely through traditional country blues, folk, original songs, free improvisation, pop songs, exotica, electronic music, electro-acoustic music, and ‘sonic gestural’ playing utilising open tunings and extended techniques. He is also a soundscape artist and film and video maker and performs live music for silent classic and contemporary films. His favored instruments &#8211; a vintage 1930’s National tri-cone resophonic guitar played acoustically and/or ‘treated’ through a series of digital sampling and looping devices and his voice.</p>

<p><strong>Under the Velvet Sky (UTVS)</strong> is a collective of multi-instrumentalists sharing a common passion for musical improvisation aspired by a diverse influence of music from Mozart to the avant-garde.  Sharing a common believe in expressive divinity, UTVS experiments music in altering spontaneity.</p>
<p>Under The Velvet Sky started out as a 3-piece jam band with Jordan, Reef &amp; Din Morello in 1998. The band worked on a few things together; including an Electronic music project which carelessly went missing upon its completion sometimes in 2000. Having to go through their separate ways in life’s direction at some point, they disbanded.</p>
<p>Some years later, fate brought them back to making music together where they were occasionally joined by close friends and musicians sharing thoughts and ideas in music.</p>
<p>Though the band was actively playing music on their own at home, in studios, at haunted hospitals &amp; houses, it took them quite a while before they came out with a demo CD (and this time making sure it doesn’t get lost!). In late 2008, they released a concept demo album, <strong>The Black Sea Sorcery</strong> (2008).</p>
<p>After the release of their debut demo album, UTVS have been actively performing live in Singapore. For their first live performance, they were chosen to close the Singapore Arts Festival 2009 open mic session at City Hall. UTVS gets regular invitation to perform at underground and alternative venues. They were invited by overseas artists as an opening act for their performances in Singapore. In 2010, UTVS performed in 2 music and arts festivals in Indonesia.</p>
<p>Early this year, UTVS has been selected to be an artist residency in Pulau Ubin, a project run by The Artist Village. UTVS proposed to release a music documentary about the residency with a soundtrack supporting the film. UTVS plans to collaborate with other musicians and artists in this project. To name a few of the artists that are invited for this collaboration are Lee Wen, Zai Kuning, Kai Lam, Jeremy Hiah, Zai Tang, B-Quartet (band), Observatory (band), I am David Sparkle (band), Mike Cooper, Mark Wong and other artists  under the Pulau Ubin residency project.</p>
<p>UTVS have been actively recording and been releasing new materials on MySpace.</p>

<p><a href="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/leewen.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1043" title="leewen" src="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/leewen.jpg?w=510" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p><strong>Duke Wen </strong>(A.K.A Lee Wen) makes a full circle with a return to his earliest forays of poetry and singing. Besides the other influences it was through poetry reading and jamming at The Artists Village that started him on the road to performance art and other experimental practices. Duke Wen’s lyrics are gutsy and poignant, sometimes personal and other times more socially relating to current cultural climate both local and global. Songs like “Art is &#8230;Dead” deliver a punchy tune with simple lyrics warning us of the impending death trivializing our humanity by placing emphasis on market values and mindless consumer tastes for shameless repetition of tested formulas rather than research, innovations and explorations of new ideas or debate on social values.</p>

<p><strong>Singlish Punk </strong>is a pseudonym started in 2005 by Kai Lam to conjugate</p>
<p>his sound projects and experimental music with his performance art practice.</p>
<p>Singlish Punk’s cross-disciplinary performances through electro-acoustic sets are made up of field recordings, an array of altered instruments and musical instruments, coupled with obsolete and hacked machines that are sampled and looped, manifesting into live improvised soundscapes. His deliberate alteration of the media technology is a means to re-examine consumerism and a challenge to the disposable nature of current media technology, re-utilising its limited shelf-life and intangibility as an alternative perspective towards our digital media-fixated society.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/ahbpostcardfemail.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-982" title="postcard_148mmx105mm" src="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/ahbpostcardfemail.jpg?w=510&#038;h=360" alt="" width="510" height="360" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In a project called “Give Peace A Chance Redux” Lee Wen had re-visited the legendary “Bed-in for peace” performance of Yoko Ono and John Lennon during 11 to 15 September 2006 together with Kai Lam. They occupied an empty shop space for five days and installed a bed for sitting and discussing “war and peace”. The shop became a bed room decorated with hip tie-dyes, colorful rugs and carpets, a television showing the video documentary of the legendary “Bed-in” running in a loop and an anti-war poster corner where visitors can paint and put up on the wall their own messages against the futility of war. The project was also part of the Singapore Management University Arts festival and my work responded to a number of contexts quite uniquely Singaporean, such as the ban on public protests and blocking out the black-listed activists from entering the country during the World Bank meeting being held that week. Given the fame of John Lennon and the Beatles amongst youthful music lovers compared in contrast to ignorance of Yoko Ono’s art departures and “Bed-in for peace” seen as an extension of Ono’s performance art interventions gave an opportunity to provoke interest in performance art as legitimate art practice. Lee however was shocked in over hearing a passing student scornfully tell his girlfriend that John Lennon is a no good hippie, drug imbibing bum amongst other derogatory gibes and discouraged her from participating in our project. Turning to Kai Lam, Lee wondered aloud: “what kind of brain washed dudes are there among these kids and how come?” and said it is time to become a “Born again Hippie”.</p>

<p>In 2007 Lee began the new series: “Too Late The Hippie” after seeing the tourism board promotional slogan: ‘Uniquely Hip Singapore’. Responding to the irony of how hippie culture were once seen as a threat to traditional values, defiance of authority in the face of dominant global market capitalism and the acceptance of values once frowned upon into mainstream culture and especially the threat of communism at the height of the Vietnam war during the ‘70s. Playing devil’s advocate reminding and recalling that recent enthusiasm for healing the planet, disgust for chemicals, non-GMO seeds, concern for the environment, alternative health, humane treatment of animals, natural childbirth, developing the self, popular music and various prevalent attitudes actually began and proliferated from the 1960s hippie counter culture movement.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In 2007 while participating in “Interakcje 2007″ Piotrkow Trybunalski in Poland Lee also began his ordeal with Parkinson’s Disease. In response, he began new works, which incorporated his physical condition. Nicknamed “Stagger Lee”, as he began walking with a staggering gait he started to perform a new series based on the story of “Stagger Lee”, a legendary real life bad man in American folklore seen as the embodiment of evil. Lee took up the shaman-like role as if personifying the evil character and creating a humorous ritualistic séance with the intention of dispelling the evil from this world.</p>
<p>In another series, he re-interpreted “Rite of Spring” (Le Sacre du Printemps) using the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky’s once controversial ballet first conceived a century ago. Lee moved to dance in order to continue the perpetual search for the resolution of conflicts and reconciliation of contradictions through the self imposed task of activating and performing the body in sickness.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">With “Anyhow Blues Project” Lee characteristically continues to manifest these various contradictions, using a renewed interest in popular folk music genre as a (re-) starting point. By singing, some self composed songs as well as old classics as a starting vehicle; the “Anyhow Blues Project” confronts various issues related to contemporary the hypocrisy of ‘serious culture’ and other ‘dead art’. As an avid follower of Frankfurt School of philosophy, Lee acknowledges his disagreeing from Adorno’s criticism of popular music in dismissing the protest songs of the ‘60s as pretentious commercialism. Lee investigates nuances of social discontent against the current trends of euphoric celebration manifested in propagation of art biennales and globalization of the art market. He expresses the desperate struggle for the individual to assert a place in a commercially driven and essentialist engineered culture of contemporary society, crying for local folk music if not art in deserving legitimacy against high powered commercial or exploitive fare in contemporary cultural discourse.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/i-got-the-sentimental-blues.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-969" title="i got the sentimental blues" src="http://rootedintheephemeralspeak.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/i-got-the-sentimental-blues-e1299806091336.jpeg?w=510" alt=""   /></a>Lee Wen also returns to his earliest forays of poetry and singing. Besides the other influences, it was through poetry reading and jamming with Zai Kuning at The Artists Village that started him on the road to performance art and other experimental practices.  He explained in a recent interview: “ Zai is the guitar maestro, I just do the basic chords but I liked making up songs with my own lyrics. Therefore, my first actions were readings, which I dropped out of eventually and when I went full swing into it, I forget all about the guitar and songs. With medication now, my fingers start to move like it did before and while hanging out with Zai again after long years of going in different directions, it was such a joy to play the guitar and sing again that I had to get into the “Anyhow Blues Project”. It’s really a part of how I cope with my health as much as it’s a comment on society and life, and also about the trials and tribulations of friends like Zai and the Artists Village.”</p>

Working with the inspiring provocateur Zai as well as Reef and Hafiz, active players of our neglected alternative music scene, Lee hopes to help steer Anyhow Blues into reconciliation and redemption. Together with the &#8216;Anyhow Blues Project&#8217;, they will rock anew the folk dimension of Lee Wen&#8217;s earlier solo acoustic attempts.</p>
<p>They will perform all original compositions by Lee Wen, as much as before gutsy and poignant, personal experiences that relates to current cultural climates. Songs like “Art is Dead” deliver a punchy tune with simple lyrics warning us of the impending death trivializing our humanity by placing emphasis on market values and mindless consumer tastes for shameless repetition of tested formulas rather than research, innovations and explorations of new ideas and current questions of humanity’s directions.</p>
<p>Join them for a concert closer to your roots and help resurrect dead art!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;font-weight:bold;">Basic Informations about the IPAH  Summercamp  &amp; Platform For Young  Performance Artists 2011.</span></p>

<li>18.  &#8211; 24.: workshops</li>
<li>25.  &#8211; 27.: days off, preparing the Platform</li>

<li>31.  July:  Departure</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Money:</strong></p>
<p>Like in the  years before, we hope, that we can offer the Camp for 200, &#8211; €. This would include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fee  for the teachers</li>
<li>Simple  accommodation on mattresses in a big room together with  other participants or  private accommodation during the workshop!</li>
<li>One  dinner every day together with all participants from all groups. (during the workshop)</li>
<li>We  are not sure about our funding in the moment, so we don´t know  exactly, whether  the 200,- are sufficient. We will know soon about  that.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Registration</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Like  in the last year, we have limited places up to 40  participants. So if you would  like to participate, please register as  soon as possible!</li>
<li>Please  register via email to   <a href="mailto:summercamp@i-pah.de">summercamp@i-pah.de</a><span style="display:none;">JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING </span> .  You will receive a confirmation email with the information, to which account  you should transfer the participation fee.</li>
<li>Registration  is compulsory if the fee is credited to the account of the IPAH e.V..</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Please be aware, that the Platform Festival  is not part of the IPAH Summercamp!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There  is no accommodation and no food provided after July 24th! Of  course we will  help you to find cheap sleeping places &amp; maybe we  can use some of the  places from the week before, but we don´t know  about that now!</li>
<li>Not  everybody from the workshop will have the possibility to  perform at the  Platform Festival! We have to decide about that during  the first week! But we  are lucky, that we may use 2 floors in the  Kunstfabrik this year, so the  situation will be easier than last year!</li>
</ul>

<li>25. &#8211; 27.: days off, preparing the Plaform</li>
<li>28. &#8211; 30.: Platform Young Performance Artists at the Flutgraben e.V.</li>
<li>31. July:  Departure</li>
</ul>
<p></span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Money:<br />
</span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;">Like in the years before, we hope, that we can offer the Camp for 200, &#8211; €. This would include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fee for the teachers</li>
<li>Simple accommodation on mattresses in a big room together with other participants or private accommodation during the workshop!</li>
<li>One dinner per day together with all participants from all groups.</li>
<li>We are not sure about our funding in the moment, so we don´t know  exactly, whether the 200,- are sufficient. We will know soon about that.</li>
</ul>
<p></span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Registration<br />
</span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;"></p>
<ul>
<li>Like in the last year, we have limited places up to 40 participants.  So if you would like to participate, please register as soon as  possible!</li>
<li>Please register via email to <a rel="nofollow">summercamp@i-pah.de</a> . You will receive a confirmation email with the information, to which account you should transfer the participation fee.</li>
<li>Registration is compulsory if the fee is credited to the account of the IPAH e.V..</li>
</ul>
<p></span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Please be aware, that the Platform Festival is not part of the IPAH Summercamp!<br />
</span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;"></p>
<ul>
<li>Within the 200,-  fee there is no accommodation and no food included  after July 24th! Of course we will help you to find cheap sleeping  places &amp; maybe we can use some of the places from the week before,  but we don´t know about that now!</li>
<li>Not everybody from the workshop will have the possibility to perform  at the Platform Festival! We have to decide about that during the first  week! But we are lucky, that we may use 2 floors in the Flutgraben e.V.  this year, so the situation will be easier than last year!</li>
</ul>
<p></span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Symposium<br />
</span><span style="font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;"><br />
This year we will have a small symposium about &#8220;Teaching Performance  Art&#8221; organized by Jörn Burmester from the Performer Stammtisch.<br />
Partners</p>
