The Sign-a work by Chun Hua Catherine Dong from Chun Hua Catherine Dong on Vimeo.

“The Sign, " Performance, 60 minutes at MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), Montreal, 2017

“The Sign” is a 60 minutes performance that explores visual culture of shame in relation to the body, subjects and power in contemporary performance art. In this work, eight female performers are tied together with a rope. They wear masks, standing and repeating some symbolic gestures. They hold each gesture for two minutes and then move to the next one at their own paces. The performative gestures are considered as shameful gestures but transgressive, such as, sniffing their armpits, sucking their fingers, lifting up their dresses and so on.

The word shame comes from an Old Germanic word scamen meaning “to cover,” as the response to feeling shamed is often to hide oneself. In many societies, shame is used as a tool of social control, as a way to prevent citizens— especially women—from acting in ways that might disrupt the status quo. “The Sign” is an act of drawing back the curtain and pointing to the deeply embedded feelings of shame that can cause women to hold back and stay silent, transforming the performative gestures into experiences and things that are understood to be universal and relatable.

Over the past five years, I have been creating a series of works that explore visual culture of shame that integrates performance, photography, video, and installation. “The Sign” is one of this series. My focus is exploring the visual culture of shame associated with vulnerability in its personal and socio-political dimensions. I bring together feminism, globalization and psychoanalysis. By investigating parallels, divergences and intersections that occur among contemporary art practices emerging from women and other global cultures and communities, I position making shame visible as a feminist strategy of resistance—an ethical practice that seeks altered states of consciousness that possibly leads to restore dignity and humanity.

Performed by Alida Esmail, Lucy Fandel, Emma Lee Iversen, Alex MacLean, Kim L Rouchdy, Eryn Tempest, Emilie van der Waals, and Mary Williamson

NO TODO ES FRAGILIDAD - Video-performances de artistas mujeres

@ MOVEDIÇA _ Mostra de Performance Arte, Galpao Mungunzá, São Paulo, Brasil | Curator : Silvio De Gracia

Francesca Fini (Italy) Elen Gruber (Brasil) Janaina Carrer (Brasil) Erika Mayoral (Mexico) Maria Jose Arjona (Colombia) Chun Hua Catherine Dong (Canada/China) Gilivanka Kedzior & Barbara Friedman - RED BIND (France)

About the program |

No todo es fragilidad [Not everything is fragile], introduces a serie of video-performances where women artists try to explore poetic dimension of the body and the female nature. Through the experimentation in different approaches to performance art, these videos reveal the psychological and physical energy of women, not excluding the beauty, breaking the old conventional image of female as a fragile being. Most of the videos show a female body incarnated in intense and obsessive actions, including hard efforts, allegories of resistance against the absurd or confrontations with the physical and social limitations.

About VIDEOPLAY |

Videoplay is an Argentine-based international platform specialized in the collection and diffusion of video-performance. Founded in 2004 by the visual artist and curator Silvio De Gracia, Videoplay has been gradually established as one of the most active and interesting platform dedicated exclusively to video-performance, developing an intensive activity of collaborations and exchanges with several international galleries, museums, festivals, private foundations and public institutions around the world.

Experimental Action Brings Performance Art to the Forefront

Under the direction of performance artists and organizers Julia Claire Wallace and Evan McCarley, Experimental Action emerges as Houston’s newest and most unique festival. The three-day international performance art festival showcases groundbreaking artists who hail from the local community as well as from across the globe.

“We’re bringing in people from all over the world to perform next to local artists,” says Wallace. “One of the main focuses for us about the community we’re creating. We’ve made sure to have communal meals, communal living space, so that all the participating artists can connect and work together in the future.”

“From our experience working with festivals in the past, something we learned was that having these local artists meet with these people from all over really opens up a dialogue,” says McCarley. “There are people that went out and worked together at other events in other countries because they met each other here. That’s something we really wanted to expound on and put at the forefront of this project.”

Wallace recollects her experience with Lone Star Explosion — a biennial performance art festival that she’s helped organize in the past — and how it led to her work being shown in Washington D.C., as well as allowing other local artists to show their work in cities across the nation. “There were more than 10 amazing shows that came out of that, so we made that a big focus,” she adds.

While it’s quite the undertaking to host a three-day festival with artists from around the globe, the duo says that the festival is entirely funded by private donations. “It gives us a lot of freedom, which is really exciting,” Wallace says. Supporters can donate to the Experimental Action Indiegogo campaign to help promote the festival and performance art in Houston.

“We’re definitely focusing on edgier works,” Wallace adds. “[Participating artist] Abel Azcona was even sued in Spain for his artwork in a Catholic church. He secretly collected a bunch of communion wafers and used them to spell out a word related to pedophilia and the church sued him. He’s incredibly controversial.”

Wallace and McCarley note that many of the artists’ work relates to identity, sexuality and social norms. In addition to Azcona, incoming artists include Chun Hua Catherine Dong (Canada), Marta Jovanovic (Bosnia), Vincent Tiley (New York City), Christian Cruz (Dallas/Mexico), Peter Clough (New York City), Miao Jiaxin (New York City/China), Amanda Gregory (Los Angeles), Ryan Hawk (Austin) and Michael Anthony Garcia (Austin).

Featured locals include an array of talent such as Jim Pirtle, Celestina Billington, Nestor Topchy, Brittani Broussard, Cat Scott, Clay Zapalac, Eric Thayer, Agnes Yit, David Graeve, Emmanuel Nuno Arambula, Raindawg, Z’maji, Michael Clemmons, Clockpole and Chris Stevens.

Another dynamic of the festival has been the #ShiaShowUp campaign. “It started out as a marketing concept that is a performance art piece unto itself,” says Wallace. “It’s all about attracting Shia LaBeouf to our festival. It really did start out pretty lighthearted, but looking at his artwork, it became more and more meaningful to me personally, and I think to other people as well. It’s become very complex.”

“It’s been interesting to see how different people have really taken this idea of having him show up and what they would want to do if that happens,” McCarley says. “I ask people, ‘If he came, what would you do? What would you want to engage with him about?’ For me it’s opened up a discussion about if someone’s artwork is less valid because of something they’ve done. This is an idea, for me, that permeates performance art. Just because it’s not something that you’ve seen before, does it mean it’s any less valuable? I’ve been taking it that way, that it’s opened up all of these conversations.”

Whether LaBeouf shows up is still up in the air, but you’ll clearly have to find out for yourself.

The festival runs from February 23 to 25 and features ticketed events on Thursday from 8 pm to late at Notsuoh (314 Main), Friday from 8 pm to late at The Secret Group (2101 Polk) and Saturday from 8 pm to late at Walter’s Downtown (1120 Naylor), as well as a free symposium at the Contemporary Arts Museum (5216 Montrose) on Saturday from 2 to 4 pm. Tickets are $12 per night or $30 for the entire run of the festival.
