LEGS, TOO, - ARTSCAPE SANDBOX in cooperation with FADO
I'll be presenting Impossible Conversations at LEGS, TOO, an all-day performance art relay. The form of the event is dictated by a chosen duration (in this case 8 hours), which is then divided equally by the number of performance artists from the local community who have chosen to participate.
Participating artists are invited by other participating artists, snowballing a self-organizing event that is disinterested in traditional curation. Founded on a belief in community trust, performative dialogue and artistic self-determinacy, the resulting collective event lets participating artists be responsible not only for the continuous stream of idea- and image-making, but also for the realization of event itself. There is no staff, no coordinator, no stage manager, only artists working together.
October 3, 11am- 7pm at Artscape Sandbox.

The Banff Centre
Banff Artist in Residence (BAiR) Intensive is an immersive period of studio practice and artistic exploration that combines the artistic freedom of BAiR programs with the supportive benefits of an organized thematic program. As well as having the space to create, research, and experiment, participants are part of a community of artists, curators, and creative researchers, each committed to their practice.
Throughout a period of four weeks, participants will benefit from studio visits, participant-driven critiques, artist presentations, and workshops.
In addition, participants may explore Visual Arts facilities regardless of their primary discipline, with a goal of opening up new possibilities and directions in the production of their work. Knowledgeable staff will be on hand to offer technical support and provide access to facilities in photography, sculptures, printmaking, papermaking, ceramics, fibre, and more.More information about The Banff Centre can be found here.
