FUNDRAISER -

Darkness Visible II – A 10 day performance making workshop by Ron Athey & Collaborators in Athens.

On his Instagram post for the fundraiser, Ron Athey writes:
'I feel strongly we need to create community and develop more live, esoteric and body art, beyond the academy and non profit art institution agendas. Consider getting involved with simple t-shirt purchase or larger contribution'.

I was so delighted to make it to the final hour of GLOBUS HYSTERICUS, an exhibition by performance duo Kainulainen & Latva at Forum Box in Helsinki, that I had to jot a few words down about it, which you can read here.

SUKA OFF have a fundraiser, to travel to to perform at the International Contemporary Dance Festival in Mexico City in August.

I know their work primarily in performance art, anyone who has seen SUKA OFF during their 30 years history know they are unforgettable, entirely unique, disturbing, exquisite and - extraordinary.

Existing outside the mainstream of institutional support for all this time, at this critical juncture they need the resources to go to Mexico.
