The Kitchen NYC BOOK RELEASE! March 20, 2012
5 Chapters, 1 Video, 2 Records and a Radio Show will be featured in
the first edition of Emergency INDEX will be released on March 20, 2012. The launch event is at The Kitchen (512 West 19th Street, New York) on Tuesday, March 20, at 7pm.
Ugly Duckling Presse would like to introduce you to Emergency INDEX, an annual print publication documenting new performance in the words of its creators. Emergency INDEX is modeled after the “Artist’s Chronicle” of the magazine High Performance (1978-1997). In "Artist's Chronicle," early performance art in the 1970s defined itself through actual works as reported by the artists who made them. Though INDEX is not limited to performance art, it uses a structure similar to “Artist’s Chronicle” to allow makers of all kinds of performance to define the state of their field.
Every year, Emergency INDEX invites authors to document performances they made in the previous year. By including performances regardless of their country of origin, their genre, aims, or popularity, INDEX reveals a breathtaking variety of practices used in performance work as it actually exists today. For readers, INDEX offers a cutting edge view of performance as it is used in dance, theater, music, visual art, political activism, scientific research, poetry, advertising, terrorism, and other disciplines. For artists, INDEX provides an opportunity to document the most important aspects of new work, without the need for spin or salesmanship. For anyone interested in contemporary performance, INDEX is required reading.

Fibre art, relational / radicant aesthetics & globalization
Public presentation and discussion with artists
Carissa Carman • jenna dawn • Suzen Green • Javiera Ovalle Sazie: Moderated by Dr. Lisa Vinebaum
Saturday, April 16th, 5pm - 7pm
Concordia University, VA Building Room 433

1395 René-Lévesque Blvd. West
Montréal, QC
Four artists working across fibres, collaboration, performance, installation, site-specific and public art explore intersections between current fibre art practice and social practice in the larger context of globalization. This presentation explores current models of artistic production, sustainability, and the creation of alternative exchange economies in contemporary fibre art practices, as an antidote to Bourriaud's notion of the nomad as a model for contemporary artistic practice in the age of globalization. Whereas Bourriaud's proposition depoliticizes the conditions of globalization that produce migrants – poverty, war, dispossession, economic deregulation — the participating artists use a range of playful, interventionist and social strategies to propose more egalitarian modes of production and consumption, and engaging with issues of labor, mobility, collectivity, and sustainability in their work. As well, this presentation will explore the notion of fibres as "already relational" owing to their social and collective histories of making, and in contrast to Bourriaud's theory of relational aesthetics which elides politicized, performance and fibre art practices in particular.
***Presented as part of En avril - fibre textile art au Québec in collaboration with galerie Diagonale and the MFA Studio Art program at Concordia University

space of the FOFA Gallery. [Insert Title Here] re-purposes vinyl lettering that is the professional
standard for promoting, advertising and contextualizing exhibitions. Using the FOFA gallery’s
unsuspecting archive of wall text templates, unused vinyl, and misprints, this installation considers
the role that text plays in exhibition display.
[insert title here] considers the asides of exhibiting—wall vinyl, didactic panels, exhibition titles—
that are used to frame works in a gallery setting. [Insert Title Here] considers production set-up
of an exhibition; how signage and didactic texts are used to professionalize, frame and at times aid
in explaining the work. In focusing on the representation of an exhibition that emerges from left-
over textual material, [Insert Title Here] considers the extent to which these devices both serve
and become part of the work.

nized by Cheryl Simon for the English and Cultural Studies conference The Archive and Everyday

University in the Fibres, Open Media and Photography departments respectively.
