Performance

Body

Theatre

This article discusses the possible analogy that can be made between theatre and the body, both of which are home to dramatic events. In the author’s view, theatre can provide the context for a more authentic type of experience, or what she calls “natural emptiness.” She views theatre as a communal space with bodily attendance, where the subject and the object of contemplation are momentarily the same.

Film

An interview with Venezuela-born, New York-based artist Javier Tellez is presented. Tellex describes his work as documentation of fictional scenarios created within the psychiatric institution from the point of view of those who inhabit it. The interview discusses the museum and the psychiatric hospital as institutions of the Enlightenment project, the ethics related to the representation of patients and mental illness in his artistic practice, his 2004 video work La Passion de Jeanne d’arc (Rozelle Hospital) that was shown at the Power Plant in his first solo exhibition in Canada, his latest feature-length narrative film Oedipus Marshal, and the transition from documentary video to fictional filmmaking.
