Our name—Performance Space—was, for many years,synonymous with our home on Cleveland Street, Redfern.Performance Space was a place. A place to meet, to hang-out with like-minded artists and audiences, and a site for artistic experimentation and risk.

Today Performance Space is a resident company atCarriageWorks. We have access to great spaces and equipmentand are part of a vibrant arts centre but ‘our space’, thephysical space we occupy, is no longer as apparent.

Since we moved we’ve been asking ourselves if our namestill describes who we are and what we do. We’ve begunto think about ‘Performance Space’ not as a place andvenue but as a creative space. The challenge we now faceis seeking out and articulating what is unique, vital andsignifi cant about this creative space.

This season—Exchange—suggests a core element of thecreative territory we want to explore. Artistic exchange andcultural exchange are central to each of the works we’representing in Exchange and the season encourages us tothink about the ways art is often formed through dialogueand collaboration—between artists but also between artistsand audiences.

Central to Posts in the Paddock is a dialogue between kIndigenous and non-Indigenous artists, which fi nds a voice in a story of reconciliation between two families. BargainGarden has been formed through a rich collaborativeapproach of the artists including teams from across theatre,music and visual arts. Return to Sender seeks to encourage rnew forms of creative exchange between artists living andworking in different parts of the world. And both The Body is a Big Place ande HokusPokus are informed by the cross-sfertilisation of art and scientifi c research.

These projects form the main body of Exchange but our work is much more diverse than the projects we put beforeaudiences. We also encourage exchange through activitiessuch as residencies and workshops. In particular, over thenext few months we will run IndigeLab and b IndigeSpace; two initiatives offering signifi cant opportunities for Indigenous Australians to extend their artistic practicethrough collaboration. We also welcome UK artist JoshuaSofaer as Thinker in Residence and play host to artists fromeField Theory working as part of a cultural leadership initiative.

Performance Space’s program has long been a rich mix of artistic development and presentation. While we may havechanged the location where we present work, offering acreative space has always been and will always be at our eheart. This season—as we celebrate artistic and culturalexchange—is a good time to remind ourselves of the creative space, which is the core of Performance Space.

Theatre Kantanka, creators of the acclaimed Missing the Bus to David Jones, and award-winning contemporary music collective Ensemble Offspring premiere a new collaboration as part of Exchange.

Bargain Garden is a toxic nightmare, in all the pretty colours of the rainbow. An immersive, multi-sensory performance installation, inspired by the thousands of bargain stores and two-dollar shops that multiply across our cities. Bargain Garden takes the temperature of the fever of mass consumerism that drives our society.

Fusing performance, live music, kinetic sculptures and multimedia installation, Bargain Garden invites us to experience both the rush and aftermath of our bargain-crazy, shopping-mad culture and lifestyle.

Artists: Claire Edwards, Carlos Gomes, Heidrun Löhr, Katia Molino, Rodney Nash, Jason Noble, Teik-Kim Pok, Damien Ricketson, Kym Vercoe, Nick Wishart and Mirabelle Wouters.

Return to Sender is a collection of eight short dance rworks exploring the infl uence of international creative relationships on the practice of Australian dance artists.

For Return to Sender, curators Paul Gazzola and rrJeff Khan have invited eight Australian dance-makers to devise new works that recreate the choreography, scores, or essence of an international peer’s work. The resulting works range from reconstructed solos, to collaborative texts, to performed instructions. Together, they provide an insight into the creative collaborations that infl uence Australian artists’ work, but which take place overseas and are often out-of-sight to their audiences due to distance, geography and expense.

Artists: Alison Currie, Nadia Cusimano, Matthew Day,Atlanta Eke, Jane McKernan, Latai Taumoepeau,Tony Yap and Yumi Umiumare.

The Body is a Big Place explores the fl uidity of boundariesebetween bodies, specifi cally questions arising from theprocesses and practices of organ transplantation surgery,and the phenomenological responses reported by organtransplant recipients. This work investigates the perplexingnotion of cellular memory and questions of blurredsubjectivity that are prompted by organ transplantation.

The Body is a Big Place invites audiences into the eethics surrounding organ transplantation, asking theviewer to refl ect on the entanglement of mind and body and the capacity of the biological to cross-infect, respondand improvise under novel conditions.

This installation, commissioned by Performance Space,is a collaboration between artists Helen Pynor and PetaClancy with sound by Gail Priest.

HokusPokus visually references 19th Century magic, searly cinema and travelling science shows, alluding to the proximity between the history of magic and the genesis of both optical time-based media and the brain sciences. This new interactive artwork examines illusionistic and performative aspects of magic to explore human perception, senses and movement.

A magician appears on three separate screens, performing tricks that use sleight-of-hand and deception. How the tricks unfold over time and across the screens depends on the participant’s movements and reactions in the space.

The installation continues Michele Barker and Anna Munster’s artistic research into perception, neuroscience and the histories of visual culture and media. It takes inspiration from recent neuroscientifi c interest in magic as a way of unravelling the relations between vision and movement in human perception.

WALK is our year-long season of walks, promenades, marches and strolls in and around Sydney and beyond. So far this year, artists have led us in search of a hero, through the streets of Waterloo, walking in the rain, exploring the sites and sounds of Manila, on a journey from Melbourne to Sydney, and through the activist history of Woolloomooloo.

Put on your walking boots and step out with us on thefi nal walks.

Coming up...

Get your dog kitted-out with a system that photographs their favourite locations based on sniff and interest time. Each dog’s snaps are returned to their human companion as a record of the walk. Sign up to walk with your dog and join us for Best in Show BBQ when we share happy-snaps Qand trails of discovery.

The latest incarnation of Lily Hibberd’s Benevolent Asylumproject continues to expose the role of waterways in institutional confi nement in Australia. Located at Luna Park in Lavender Bay, Hibberd’s performance will engage with the irreconcilable coalescence of lunacy, exile, sacrifi ce and joy in a playful revelation of the site’s historical and contemporary signifi cance.

House Work takes audiences on a walking tour through thekprivate spaces of artist’s homes in the inner city suburbs of Redfern and Waterloo. Through a series of performative exchanges, the domestic sphere of the ‘home’ will become a site for artistic practice and dialogue, blurring the boundaries between art and life.

We welcome British artist Joshua Sofaer as PerformanceSpace’s fi rst Thinker-in-Residence. Sofaer is an artistwho is concerned with modes of collaboration andparticipation. Often with an irreverent use of humour, he plays with established forms of production, appropriatingand reconfi guring the chat show, competition, lecture, or museum display. He acts as curator, producer or director on a broad range of projects, including large-scale events,intimate performances and publications. As Thinker-in-Residence, Sofaer will act as a catalyst for discussionaround exchange.

A collective of artists working in Live Art who foundedField Theory will undertake back-to-back ‘meetings over coffee’ around Sydney to discuss ways to support the LiveArt sector. Follow Field Theory at lalaishere.net as they mix durational performance with research to explorethe shape of Live Art in Australia as part of this culturalleadership initiative.

In this durational, 10 hour performance installation,Douglas converges the aesthetics of 70s sci-fi and imagery of the Australian landscape with the daily reality of hisown life-support processes.

I was asked by a non-profi t art center in Indianapolis,Indiana, called Big Car to come up with a project thatwould happen in conjunction with a city-wide festivalwhich was focusing on food systems. The director of BigCar, Jim Walker, took me around to various neighborhoodsthat he thought might be good spots for a potential project.The last stop was an older somewhat vacant shoppingcenter that contained in it a thriving international grocery store called Saraga. I was immediately excited by theSaraga environment. Indianapolis is not a place that younormally associate with ethnic diversity, but Saraga wasan unexpected exception or maybe just an example of the incorrect assumption that the midwest is only whiteand homogenous. The grocery store is set up so that mostof the aisles are identifi ed by geographical areas—India,Mexico, Venezuela, Iraq, etc., and contain food products

from those places. As I walked around the store I observedvarious shoppers who appeared to connect with thegeographical locations named on the aisles. I couldn'thelp but think how interesting it would be to hear fromthem directly talking about various topics related to their countries origin—politics, histories, personal stories, andof course cuisine. Over the years I've created a number of projects that allow me to tap into local knowledge inthe places where I have been commissioned to do work.I choose to do that primarily to satisfy my own desire tolearn about new things, and then I try also to extend thatexperience to larger publics as well through exhibitions,events, publications, etc.. Reading and watching fi lmsoffers an important but mediated form of knowledgeacquisition, so I really enjoy the opportunity for fi rsthandexperience and learning from primary sources. In the caseof the Saraga project the way that I set things up was thatI worked remotely with the people at Big Car–Jim, Shauta,and Tom–and they found local volunteers to go to Saragaand approach customers and workers to see if they would

Venezuela- Maryori Duarte-Sheffi eld assisted by Jessica Bowman

Page 35: Point #4

be willing to make presentations at the store about their country of origin. The volunteers then worked with the participants to create display boards depicting aspects of their countries of origin. We then held an event at Saraga called Learning About the World at the Grocery Store. It took place for several hours on a Saturday afternoon. The participants set up their display boards in a row at the front of the aisles in relationship to the geographical areas that they were representing. The event was advertised, so some people came specifi cally for it, others were just there shopping and experienced the presentations spontaneously. Many of the participants did cooking demonstrations or had sample foods that they had prepared in advance. After people mulled around and talked casually for about an hour we went down the row and each participant took a turn talking to the crowd about their country of origin. It is amazing how well people do when given the opportunity to present something that they know and care about, and how much can be learned from the people that are all around us.

The minutiae of our lives are comprised of interrelatingparts: key into lock, button into buttonhole, thread intoneedle, money for goods, tongue into groove. The psychicconstruct relies on the same endless interplay of dualities.One particle vibrates against the next and there we havethe principle of matter. Labour is exchanged for paymentwhich is exchanged for goods and there we have the basisfor the grand schema we call Capitalism. But I’m not aphysicist or an economist (not by a long, long shot). My fi rstconcern is the emotional content. So instead, let me put itthis way: our days pass in a series of hellos and goodbyes.Openings and closings. Give and take. Love and theft. Weexchange currency, glances, blows, pleasantries. We areforever making and unmaking feedback loops betweenself and other, and projecting ourselves into that entropiczone between bodies. History, it might be said, behavesin the same way. If duality delineates the boundaries of exchange, then it’s from the tensions of the threshold thatit gathers momentum. That charged emptiness, calledliminality, of which much has been said.

We understand the rule of twos. It is as integral as in-breathand out-breath. If the principle of human order is defi nedin twos, then divine order is defi ned in threes. After that,the pattern jumps, inexplicably, to the number seven. Seven

Page 41: Point #4

sisters, seven pillars, seven sins, seven precepts etc. It has been said that we need to be touched, for our skin to collide with that of another, no less than seven times in a day in order to maintain optimal psychological health. Whether being punched in the face or groped on a crowded train carriage count in this equation, I’m not sure. It’s also said, in some schools of energetic medicine, that once you’ve had sex with someone it takes seven years for their imprint to fade from your body’s etheric memory. Every seven days, the skin completely renews itself, while seven years is the time needed for total regeneration of the skeletal system.

The numeric, that universal system by which we ascribe value (the basis of all exchange) also provides the greatest challenge to the assumption that There is Nothing Outside of Language, aside of course from the majestic silence of the body itself. Not the body affected and affl icted and overwritten and tiremarked by discourse, because that is not the body at all, but a theory and a ghost (as all theories are). I mean the body in its irreducible viscerality, the body which spits and swallows and shits and breathes and endures and in the end is evacuated, split open and harvested for organs. That body which craves exchange as a remedy for death. There are two types of artist who truly understand the poetics of mortality: dancers and mathematicians.

The mystical traditions of the Qabbalah suggest that the true name of God cannot be transcribed in language, but in a sacred combination of numbers. Perhaps the same can be said of the formula for human longing. Binary code, the bricks and mortar of the information superstructure, is comprised entirely of combinations of one and zero. something/nothing. here/there. you/I. The phrase “I miss you”, written in code, looks like this:

011010010110110101101000111001101110011011110010110111101110101

If one is the loneliest number, then who or whatresides at zero?
