The evening saw the world premiere of Dreams: the Lee Wen tribute film, Lukas Avenda\u00f1o&#8217;s performance and a closing set by Kamikaze Nurse.<\/p>\n<p>Then on Sunday, October 6, artist Carmen Papalia led a group of over 30 participants on walk that was a beautifully fitting way to end the festival: led by trust in each other.<\/p>\n<h3>Saturday October 5<\/h3>\n<h3>VERB FRAU TV<\/h3>\n<p>Margaret Dragu and Sophia Wolfe\u2019s self-care \u201cwith movement + no movement chair yoga + mindful meditation &#038; low-key chat\u201d practice was live-streamed and shared between an intimate circle of participants at the empty Pat\u2019s Pub in Downtown Eastside. The practice itself oscillates between Dragu and Wolfe\u2019s respective styles and energies, warm and lighthearted, soft and meditative. There are layers of parody and genuineness interweaved in this \u201cTV\u201d broadcasting of self-care routine: while Dragu and Wolfe\u2019s movements and stretches make one wish to start each day like this, the \u201cFunkytown\u201d tune and constant surveillance aspect of the experience is undeniably humorous and curious.<\/p>\n<p><em>Experience recollection by Katherine Chan.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_812\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-812\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/DSC_9195-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"VERB FRAU TV: Supporting, Day 3.

From October 3 &#8211; 5, Murata continuously and relentlessly drew huge sweeping circles on a large piece of plywood with vigor, occasionally grunting chants, primal, guttural sounds in a small, pitch dark room in the upstairs gallery of Ground Floor Arts Centre in Chinatown. Six hours, every day, physical repetition. <\/p>\n<p>Entering the art space and going up the stairs to the room where Murata\u2019s performance takes place is in itself an experience. The open entrance of Ground Floor transitions quickly to a narrow staircase with transient red light. Already, you can hear deep, near-growling noises from the staircase. As you ascend, the tone gets darker and darker until you are met with an almost imperceptible arrow on a heavy curtain, pointing to the opening into the room. When you enter through the curtain, it is impossible to know who is around you, if anyone is at all, because of how dark it is. You are then present with the artist who is in the depths of vision and physical articulation of executing their piece. In the final hour on the final day of Murata\u2019s piece, there are numerous holes in the plywood which the artist has literally drawn through to the window on the other side of the wood from the hours of work. Rays of light that pour through those pinholes are the only light source, creating a partial silhouette of Murata. <\/p>\n<p>Watching him and being in that room in those final moments is intense. Audience members go in and out between the room and downstairs. Words like \u201cmaddening\u201d and \u201ctorture\u201d are used to describe what seems in fact indescribable. I returned to the creation room a few times with breaks in between. Personally and strangely, I felt safe in that particular darkness and the primitive vibe of Murata\u2019s performance. You are met with a different piece of the performance from visiting the creation period one hour from the next, because Murata is, in essence, moving with time as he erodes away the layers of plywood, demarcating it at each and every second. The sound of the repetitive scratching of the wood offers a similar sense of comfort that stability and routine do. Murata\u2019s repetition and its impact remind me of the worthiness of labour, the significance of moving with time as opposed to stagnating, and of hope, in that humans find their way to the light. <\/p>\n<p>Murata takes a pause and looks at the \u201ccanvas,\u201d as he does throughout this performance, and as the audience expect him to return to drawing, he drops the pen, turns around, and leaves the room. He comes down the stairs to where the rest of the audience is. People clap with awe and suspension in the air. Someone finally asks him: \u201cDo you want a beer?\u201d, Murata immediately nods and responds with a quiet \u201cyes\u201d. In the light, the three-day durational performance results in a visual work of art: frantic circles on the wood, countless broken pens and a pile of sawdust on the floor. Looking at it, you sees the unimaginable journey that Murata was on in creating it and the depth of its concept. <\/p>\n<p><em>Review by Katherine Chan.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_817\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-817\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/DSC_9207-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Mineki Murata performance at Ground Floor Art Centre.

This perhaps is poignant, he shows how we should always be: poised despite setbacks and infiltration and crushing fists.<\/p>\n<p><em>Experience recollected by Ash Tanasiychuk.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_821\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-821\" style=\"width: 682px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/LA_KN-Performance-3-of-9_sm-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lukas Avenda\u00f1o performance at VIVO Media Arts.

I just met him but so badly I want to rest the side of my face on his shoulder. Inevitably, in this shape we are in, he supports me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project is about a group of people coming together and finding ways to support each other,\u201d Carmen Papalia says, leading us on a 40 minute walk through Hastings Park.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone\u2019s eyes are closed. We are linked, arm to arm, in a single-file chain.<\/p>\n<p>I am surprisingly relaxed as I feel Tito pulling my right arm forward, Mina pulling my left shoulder back, at the collective whim of the other 30 people that make up this swaying organism. In this push\/pull, all I can control is my breath. I notice my frustration when we keep starting and stopping; I notice my surprised when a hanging leaf or web caresses my face; I notice my delight when the colour of my eyelids changes (the sun is out!).<\/p>\n<p>In this exchange of trust,<br \/>\nWe will keep eyes shut.<br \/>\nWe will communicate obstacles and directions to each other.<br \/>\nIf there\u2019s a break in the chain, we will stop.<br \/>\nAnd, he will guide us safely.<\/p>\n<p>Mindfulness of body, of senses.<br \/>\nAwareness of place, of people around you.<br \/>\nInterpretation of information in different (non-visual) ways.<br \/>\nRelationship to place and people in different ways.<br \/>\nResponsibility to find ways of completing the experience together.<br \/>\nTrust that someone will tell me before I run into something, and that they will wait for me and help me. I am not a burden.<\/p>\n<p>The question is, how do we make a system that comes together for everyone, as Papalia has shown us is possible?<\/p>\n<p><em>Review by Jaz Papadopoulos.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_825\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-825\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/Carmen-Papalia-1-7_sm-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Carmen Papalia participatory performance.
