NOPERFORMANCE: A traveling show of Performance Works never realized /Call for Artists

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.


b>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.
