In September 2019, board members of LIVE Biennale began to research how to rebuild the structures and infrastructures of the organization. We thought about the thin lines between governmentality, anti-hegemony, and the beginning of a new relationship with our local communities. Over the past two years, we have engaged in conversations with local colleagues to hear their thoughts and opinions about LIVE. They have helped LIVE locate our position as an arts organization in relation to the broader community and provided a better understanding of our strengths and weaknesses, in addition to thinking about methods of repairing harm LIVE has caused in our ability to support artists and staff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the assembly, we have organized meetings with both local and international presenters to share their thoughts on how to care about the artists and communities. The LIVE Assembly from November 4 to 6, 2021, is our next step to focus on learning from our colleagues by asking questions that will change our organization. This online platform is a space for thinking together and finding a new format for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how small art presentation organizations similar to LIVE can serve local communities better.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Canada, there are a multitude of entities that define who we are as denizens of the country. As an organization in a hegemonic context, we recognize that we have inherited many atrophying codes and legacies. At the Assembly, we are inviting participants to voice their feedback as we move toward new organizational models. In particular redressing issues of governance, systemic racism, regulation of public space, and complicity with capitalist gentrification. How can we do things differently?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As arts organizations, we need to know more about the local communities we serve. How can we listen deeper and give them a space to be in relation with us on their own terms? We constantly speak about this in an \u201cus\/them\u201d rhetorical difference: \u201cus\u201d who wants to know \u201cthem.\u201d We then display those differences by exhibitional means which swallows otherness and commodifies it for public consumption. How do we disrupt this? We understand the necessity of strengthening our dialogue among diverse public groups and individuals. How can we widen our scope and consider the cross-genre of collaborations, and establish an alternative form of organizational structure that deviates from a top-down approach?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Dave Beech\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modes of Assembly: Art, the People, and the States, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he emphasizes that:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen speaking of the people, and thinking about the relationship between art and the people, it is important to differentiate various constructions of social bodies\u2026the people are not blockade, the riot, or the kettle. Masses, mobs, audiences, crowds, markets, publics, and the people are each constituted differently. In order to address these differences, we need to examine how each mode of the social body is formed, what mechanisms are used in their formation, what technologies bind them, how are they institutionalized, and to which apparatuses do they belong.\u201d<i>1<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <\/span><b>LIVE Assembly: Repair and Care<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we will discuss these challenges over a three-day program. On the first day we will concentrate on self-reflexivity and critique as performance art institutions. On the second day we are asking: \u201cWhat do communities want from arts organizations?\u201d as we dive into methodologies and strategies to recognize and support them. On the third and final day, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we will envision new models of governance for arts organizations and consider<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what a different LIVE Biennale can be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We invite participants from all over the world to join us in a provocative discourse where we will imagine new futures for art organizations and the communities they serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LIVE Assembly Curatorial Team<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>1.

The Board contracted a freelance consultant to coordinate an organizational assessment. Through a series of workshops with Board members, a multi-year strategic plan was drafted to map organizational change and capacity building for the future after 20 years of operation.<\/p>\n<p>This process drew information from stakeholders and members of the performance art community who possess a knowledge and understanding of LIVE and its history. As a result of this consultation, and the conversations that followed, the board formed working groups to review and address the gaps identified regarding organization, governance, management and policies to ensure the long-term sustainability and health of the organization. The Organizational Assessment process provided an opportunity to directly address grievances and expressions of harm that were brought to the Board&#8217;s attention, which we took seriously and committed to addressing through policy, practice and organizational change. We acknowledge and appreciate the time and courage that it took to raise these concerns.<\/p>\n<p>LIVE has hired Lianne Payne as Interim Administrative Director and Brady Marks as Digital Strategies Coordinator to take over Randy Gledhill\u2019s Executive Director duties as the board conducts an organizational review before searching for new leadership. These new positions have facilitated the Board to collaborate on drafting and adopting a comprehensive package of governance and HR policies. With the added pandemic pressures during this transition, hosting a live International Biennale in 2021 is not an option. Rather, the Board is considering this leadership transition as an ideal moment to take the time needed to build our administrative capacity, expand our models of leadership and governance, and address organizational concerns prior to settling on a future leadership structure.<\/p>\n<p>This winter the Board and staff will participate in a series of professional development workshops that introduce the fundamental principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, as we move towards a framework of anti-oppression. We are moving forward in this process with the intention of learning how to better support the communities we engage with and amplify underrepresented voices. We are committed to transforming the culture of our organization to ensure we are providing an environment that is safe and inclusive, and reflects the diversity of the artists, staff, and volunteers working with LIVE.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to re-evaluate the place of LIVE as a forward-thinking arts organization, cultural hub, and biennale. After over 20 years and 11 biennales with minimal change to its format, there is a need to reconsider the organization\u2019s mandate and its terms of engagement as an international and local performance art event. How can our mandate provide space for LIVE to adapt to the shifting cultural and environmental conditions while responding mindfully, and with the necessary urgency, to the needs of our societies in the 21st century?<\/p>\n<p>At this time, LIVE is examining all aspects of the organization\u2019s governance, leadership, and public platforms for performance art and other relevant developments in the art sphere. We have taken on this task in recognition of our role in the ongoing work toward dismantling the systemic, colonial structures of oppression, biases, and the withholding of power to marginalized and racialized communities.<\/p>\n<p>Our organizational goals for the upcoming year include:<br \/>\n\u25cf seeking new leadership models,<br \/>\n\u25cf moving towards more accountability,<br \/>\n\u25cf fostering a more transparent and open ethos,<br \/>\n\u25cf increasing the structure and stability of our administration,<br \/>\n\u25cf examining the need for increased and relevant programming,<br \/>\n\u25cf and cultivating a supportive, diverse, inclusive and vibrant work culture.<\/p>\n<p>The Board is producing \u201cLIVE Assembly,\u201d for November 4-6, 2021, a series of online forums that brings together local and international peers and experts around the theme of Repair and Care. In order to research new possibilities, and better prepare for the recruiting and onboarding portion of the succession plan, LIVE is reaching out to an extended network of colleagues with an invitation to participate in conversations together\u2014sharing our thoughts and experiences around these processes of radical transformation. Together we will question the future directions and strategies for small artist-run organizations and institutions, and address what it looks like to centre care in arts communities.<\/p>\n<p>The production of \u201cLIVE Assembly\u201d has been made possible by the increased capacity of our Interim Administrative Director, Digital Strategies Coordinator, and the hiring of three additional staff through the Canada Summer Jobs program: Caleb Chan &#8211; Digital Communications Coordinator, Yasmine Whaley-Kalaora &#8211; Digital Archives Director, and Brian Postalian &#8211; Digital Conference\/Events Coordinator. LIVE will gather and disseminate knowledge shared at the Assembly discussions and presentations to be used internally and shared online publicly. The Assembly will also present selections from its extensive video archives from the past eight Biennales.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the Assembly we have developed \u201cLIVE Platform\u201d, an online digital hub where curators, artists and a virtual arts audience can connect with each other over new and archival performance art. Digital platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and Facebook have become the dominant virtual hubs for artists and curators to connect, especially during the global pandemic. However, these social media platforms can perpetuate racist and colonial legacies in their algorithmically biased value systems, promote popularity contests, and treat artists as free \u201cContent Creators\u201d. These platforms also perpetuate commercial values which do not align with a holistic approach to community building.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, LIVE Platform will help bring attention and clarity to local, marginal communities, Indigenous voices, and important artistic statements. This project will connect our local\/national network with an international audience in a time when travel is restricted. Our goal is to create an ongoing legacy through the LIVE Digital Platform, a curatorial and planning resource around practices in Performance Art, that cares about art and artists.<\/p>\n<p>We also want to investigate the possibility that LIVE Platform can be designed to support and compensate participating artists for their contributions to the platform, as well as supporting the discussion, curation and dissemination of performance art.<\/p>\n<p>The Board and staff are committed to bringing about a renewed LIVE through the efforts outlined above. With the cooperation and support, as well as inspiration from the broader community, we will be assured of heading in the direction of positive social change.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nThe Board of Directors<\/p>\n<p>Doug Jarvis<br \/>\nGlenn Lewis<br \/>\nDylan McHugh<br \/>\nIan Prentice<br \/>\nRachel White<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-closer\" style=\"background:var(--color-content-bg);color:var(--color-content-text);\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"w-popup align_center\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper\"><a class=\"w-popup-trigger type_btn w-btn us-btn-style_1\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Archival Statement<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(0,0,0,0.85);\"><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-wrap\"><div class=\"w-popup-box animation_fadeIn with_title\" style=\"width:1000px;\"><div class=\"w-popup-box-h\"><div class=\"w-popup-box-title\" style=\"color:var(--color-content-heading);background:var(--color-content-bg-alt);\">LIVE Assembly \u2013 Curating the Archive<\/div><div class=\"w-popup-box-content\" style=\"padding:5%;background:var(--color-content-bg);color:var(--color-content-text);\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LIVE Biennale of Performance Art has been an active part of the local and international performance art scene for over two decades. Initially created by Glenn Alteen and Brice Canyon, LIVE strove to make space for experimental work and highlight Vancouver\u2019s flourishing but underrepresented performance art scene. In 1999, grunt gallery founded and organized<br \/>\nwhat would become LIVE\u2019s first iteration, LIVE at the End of the Century. After that, grunt produced the biennale\u2019s subsequent iterations until 2005. In 2006 , Randy Gledhill became the Executive Director \/ Curator and, in tandem with a working Board of Directors, organized the biennale from 2007-2019. Over the past two years, LIVE has been in the process of restructuring while reflecting on the organization&#8217;s goals and mandates, and re-thinking how it can be a meaningful resource for its interacting artists and audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One facet of this reflection is turning attention to the culmination of an archive. This summer I began the process of working on both logistics and thinking through the relational questions regarding LIVE\u2019s intentions for a public facing archive. Many questions have surfaced around what it means to hold a body of performance art documentation: How can context be introduced to support the documentation of past performances? How can the archive care for and serve the artists whose documentation it holds?<\/p>\n<p>Like LIVE, I too am learning to situate myself in archival practices. I\u2019ve found the most valuable learning has come through conversations with colleagues, local artists, and culture workers who have been generous enough to share their knowledge with me. It has been these conversations, paired with the contextual information gained from reading the LIVE Blog (active from 2007-2012), which prompted a deeper interest in the role of witnessing in the process of both archive formation and its engagement. Witnessing as archive became my entry point into this vast body of documentation.<\/p>\n<p>As the logistics of beginning an archive continue to progress, I am interested in creating avenues into the documentation and making space for conversations before the archive is public facing. For the LIVE Assembly, I\u2019ve curated Annotating the Archive, a series of dialogues between artists and curators who have been involved with the organization in the past. These conversations center fragments of archival documentation, letting the stories that arise from moments of (re)witnessing act as live annotations of the past performances.<\/p>\n<p>I took a rhizomatic approach to selecting documentation for this project. Through many interactions, stories and fragmented memories met my own interest in fluidity between individual and collective embodiment in performance art. These overlapping curiosities have generated starting points to address not only the past performances, but broader questions that arise when context gets revisited.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the situated nature of performance art, there is no way to entirely articulate the embodied impacts of past biennale events. As such, these annotations indulge the subjectivity of witnessing, creating threads that can be woven in and around disparate articulations. While these conversations permeate contextual gaps in the records, and create artist driven entry points into the works, they will also serve to inform and shape the future of LIVE and it\u2019s archive.<\/p>\n<p>Yasmine Whaley-Kalaora<br \/>\nAssociate Curator of Archive, LIVE Performance Art Biennale<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-closer\" style=\"background:var(--color-content-bg);color:var(--color-content-text);\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<h2 id=\"schedule\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Schedule<\/h2>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4th<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">On Performance Art Institutions and Audiences<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" width=\"45%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f67280;\">9:30 &#8211; 10:45 PST<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\" width=\"55%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Self-Reflectivity &amp; Self-Criticality<\/span><br \/>\n<em>Paul O&#8217;Neill, Chris Creighton-Kelly, and Monica Narula<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" width=\"45%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f67280;\">10:45 &#8211; 11:00 PST<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\" width=\"55%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Performance by Margaret Dragu<\/span><br \/>\n<em>Margaret Dragu<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" width=\"45%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f67280;\">11:00 &#8211; 12:00 PST<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\" width=\"55%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">(CONT.)

Morin\u2019s artistic offerings can be organized around four themes: articulating Land\/Knowing, articulating Indigenous Grief\/Loss, articulating Community Knowing, and understanding the Creative Agency\/Power of the Indigenous body. The work takes place in galleries, in community, in collaboration, and on the land. All of the work is informed by dreams, Ancestors, Family members, and performance art as a research methodology. Morin began art school in 1997, completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver in 2001 and his Masters in Fine Arts in 2010 at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan. Initially trained in lithography, Morin\u2019s artistic practice moves from printmaking to poetry to installation to performance art. Morin\u2019s first performance \u2018I grieve too much\u2019 took place at the Museum of Anthropology in 2005. Peter is the son of Janelle Morin (Crow Clan, Tahltan Nation) and Pierre Morin (Quebecois). Throughout his exhibition and making history, Morin has focused upon his matrilineal inheritances in homage to the matriarchal structuring of the Tahltan Nation, and prioritizes Cross-Ancestral collaborations. Morin was longlisted for the Brink and Sobey Awards, in 2013 and 2014, respectively. In 2016, Morin received the Hnatyshyn Foundation Award for Outstanding Achievement by a Canadian Mid-Career Artist. Morin currently holds a tenured appointment in the Faculty of Arts at the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto, and is the Graduate Program Director of the Interdisciplinary Master\u2019s in Art, Media and Design program at OCADU.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-closer\" style=\"background:var(--color-content-bg);color:var(--color-content-text);\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"w-popup align_center\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper\"><a class=\"w-popup-trigger type_btn w-btn us-btn-style_1\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Meet the Moderators<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(0,0,0,0.85);\"><\/div><div class=\"w-popup-wrap\"><div class=\"w-popup-box animation_fadeIn with_title\" style=\"width:1000px;\"><div class=\"w-popup-box-h\"><div class=\"w-popup-box-title\" style=\"color:var(--color-content-heading);background:var(--color-content-bg-alt);\">Meet the Moderators<\/div><div class=\"w-popup-box-content\" style=\"padding:5%;background:var(--color-content-bg);color:var(--color-content-text);\"><table style=\"border: 0; cellspacing: 0; cellpadding: 30px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-601\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/00-Brian-Postalian-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/00-Brian-Postalian-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/00-Brian-Postalian-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/00-Brian-Postalian-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/00-Brian-Postalian.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Brian Postalian<\/span><br \/>\nBrian Postalian (\u0532\u0580\u0561\u0575\u0576 \u0553\u0578\u057d\u0569\u0561\u056c\u0575\u0561\u0576) is an arts administrator, educator, and creator born and raised in Toronto\/Tkaronto by way of Armenia, Ireland, Wales, and the Czech Republic.
