Now LPS studio is in Toronto Canada taking part in the International Performance Festival 7a11d.

The whole week will be filled with performances and talks.
LPS presents LILIT artist Duo with their new work Shiny Riot.

Shiny Riot
Friday, October 11, 7 pm
630 Queen Street East
7a11d – International Performance Art Festival

LILITH’s work revolves around universal human questions of love, longing, and sorrow, driven by the desire to enter the viewer’s consciousness as a disruption, with the hope of understanding what it means to be human. Their new work, Shiny Riot is a public interactive performance led by an 11-year-old girl.

The performance is kindly supported by the Swedish Arts Grants Committee & IASPIS

7a11d

The Toronto Performance Art Collective (TPAC) is a not-for-profit, artist-driven collective that curates and produces English Canada’s oldest ongoing biennial of performance art. In non-festival years collective members engage in a variety of other performance-based projects. 7a*11d was established in 1997 by a group of performance artists, collectives, and organizers, eager to develop a forum for performance art in Toronto.

Image 3: Artist Talk by the performance legend Tanya Mars  (this year’s 7a*11d Éminences Grises), in conversation with Shannon Cochrane (director of FADO Performance Art Centre and TPAC alumni). Mars will share anecdotes from her personal history as a key contributor to Canada’s artist-driven culture.

Tanya Mars is a feminist performance artist who has been actively involved in the Canadian art scene since 1973 doing many different things. She has lived and worked in Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia. Since the ’70s Mars’ work has focused on creating spectacular feminist imagery that places women at the centre of the narrative. Since the mid-’90s her performances have included endurance, durational and site-specific strategies. Her work is political, satirical and humorous. She has worked both independently and collaboratively to create both large-scale as well as intimate performances in Canada and internationally. Ironic to Iconic: The Performance Works of Tanya Mars, was published in 2008 by FADO, edited by Paul Couillard. She is the recipient of a 2008 Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts.

Lilith Performance Studio has shown Tanya Mars in 2008, 2010 and 2012

What We Crave – What We Crave explores the magic of gathering. We celebrate coming together through experiments and rituals in embodied archival practices, emphasizing presence and sensory experience.
Together and separately, Jess Dobkin, Laurel Green, Joyce LeeAnn, and Shalon T. Webber-Heffernan have been contemplating, dreaming and scheming around the conjuring powers of memory, desire, and transformation.

WE ARE HAPPY TO PRESENT 5 PERFORMANCES AT THE SAME TIME WITH GREAT ARTISTS!

DURATIONAL SPACE #5 opens on 21 November with five newly produced performances, all running simultaneously in the same room for 3 hours.

Each artist or artist group has shaped the space according to shared conditions, working freely without any thematic constraints. We are proud to open a space where ideas about the potential demise of art, bio-political aspects of lactic acid fermentation, collective public sound actions, intimate bar conversations, and male absurdity come together. You are free to move between the performances and stay as long as you wish.

VARM WELCOME!

Very very excited to present the fourth edition of DURATIONAL SPACE with two fabulous artist SIGNE JOHANNESSEN & JENNY BERG.

SIGNE JOHANNESSEN & JENNY BERG
September 19 – October 5

”Signe Johannessen’s Holy Mare takes us down into a baroque tack room where boundless needs for power, intimacy, and love are tested.”

”Jenny Berg’s Canary Whirl, behind the scene, explores a multidimensional experience of glittering memories and twisted perceptions of reality.”

19 September the fourth edition of DURATIONAL SPACE opens, featuring two artists who bring heavy-handed sculpture into a dreamlike, poetic visual world in motion. We are proud to present Signe Johannessens ”Holy Mare” and Jenny Berg’s Canary Whirl, behind the scene, two newly produced performance works where the audience can come and go as they please during the three hours the works are in progress.

Signe Johannessens performance Holy Mare takes us down into a baroque tack room where bottomless needs for power, intimacy, and love are tested in relation to the untamed horse on the verge of abuse.

In Canary Whirl, behind the scene, Jenny Berg stages a central experience, a memory she has tried to materialize many times before. As usual, the chosen materials seem too coarse, the mechanics too clumsy, and the narrative too precisely formulated. A group of theater technicians experiment with glittery effects, set pieces, kiosk owners, and old relatives. They assemble and disassemble the scene, sometimes lovingly and sometimes brutally, in search of something that can resemble what happened.

Moving image: Holy Mare by Signe Johannessen.
Music: Adele Marcia Kosman
Camera: Petter Pettersson Editor: Elin Lundgren
Performers: Faïka Ammar, Kaisa Malmborg, Selma Kjellsson

Holy Mare by SIGNE JOHANNESSEN

Canary Whirl, behind the scene by JENNY BERG!

THE SUMMER HAS BEEN GREAT!

Two new artists in the studio, preparing for the Grand Opening on 19th of September!

The whole studio is turned up side down with new ideas, materials, construction, sewing, costume making,
building walls, kiosks, saddle chamber and more

Signe Johannessen is making a baroque tack room where bottomless needs for power, intimacy, and love are tested in relation to the untamed horse on the verge of abuse in her new performance Holy Mare.

Jenny Berg is recreating, reconstructing an essential experience, memory from her past. ”I was walking down a street in town with some relatives, we were on our way to the grocery store. It was the 80s, I was walking slightly behind them, and we passed a park and a kiosk. Suddenly, the world dissolved, and there was no longer any difference between my body and anything else. Instead, there was an infinite number of extremely small vibrating threads moving in all directions around each other at an unimaginably high speed. There were no fixed points anywhere; my consciousness was also woven into the movement, part of it. Later, seemingly solid relatives reappeared, kiosks, trees, and asphalt roads. My grandmother’s canary was perched over my right shoulder a hundred meters back and five floors up in its cage in the kitchen (…).”

The two new performance will be shown simultaneously during t he same night!
Dates: 19.9 – 5.10
