It defines our longings for transcendence and our passions to stay put. Trafficking Boundaries will explore how a performance event or written text marks itself out from the discursive/aesthetic practices it simultaneously embraces and transgresses at its conception. This issue of the journal Women and Performance speaks to academic and artistic interests concerned with how different kinds of spaces - textual as well as physical - come to be codified, circulated, represented and defined within the discursive landscape. We want to document ways in which instances of boundary crossing create fruitful contamination and thus may serve as resistance to, and transformation of, hegemonic cultural material. Considered from this perspective, boundaries can be addressed as sites of production in relation to current feminist praxis and a broader critical engagement alike. The metaphor of the boundary is familiar to performance and feminisms, understood as a means of loosening up established disciplinary divisions. Trafficking Boundaries seeks to challenge the hierarchical logic inherent within traditional categories of genre and gender. We encourage work which addresses the often enigmatic transactions and intersticial spaces that arise among such generic affiliations. We venture to ask what might be the long-term stakes in the fields of women' s and performance studies in mixing genres as diverse as autobiography, political propaganda, technological lingo, and manifesto, or of confounding such different media and art forms as storytelling, video, live performance, dance, bodyart, painting/sculpture, photography, music, newspaper fragments and other everyday "trivia". Experimental writing, photo essays, poetry, critical essays, visual art and ficto-criticism (as examples) are welcome genres for submission to the present volume. Writings on boundary crossing may include, but need not be restricted, to topics such as: generic intersection amongst performance traditions performativity and gender construction encodings of public and private space installation and visual art hybridity urban planning & spaces of transit (airports, hotel lobbies, bus-stops, train stations) collage, montage, bricolage cross-contamination, plagiarism, palimpsests and parasitism translation, methods of transcription and bilingualism the rhetorical and the tropological idle talk, gossip, rumor and heresay legal discourse, testimony, confession and proofs No abstracts, please!

New York, NY 10011 Live webast at http://netart-init.org 7pm EST. On January 26-28, 2001, members of the Verbal Group (new media artists Ricardo Dominguez, G.H. Hovagimyan, Yael Kanarek Tina LaPorta, Diane Ludin, Kevin & Jennifer McCoy, MTAA, Cary Peppermint and curator Jennifer Crowe) hijacked WeLiveInPublic.com, Josh Harris and Tanya Corrin's loft in Soho that is wired to the Internet with 32 cameras. All sounds, events, and actions were broadcast live. Over the weekend, planned and spontaneous interventions into the physical and virtual space occurred. The Verbal Group also engaged in quite a bit of eating, drinking, conversing about online aesthetics, and hang out with each other and the people in WeLiveInPublic.com chat room. Through interventions ranging from morning exercises led by people in the WeLiveInPublic.com chat room, to having simulated cybersex, and presenting performative texts to the "toilet cam", the Verbal Group spent the weekend messing around with and trying to cope with living in the ready-made object/space of WeLiveInPublic.com. Members of the Verbal Group will present this project and talk about its aftermath at Jihui.

Many outstanding musicians, composers, conductors, directors, ballet masters, designers and performing artists have worked at the Bolshoi, among them the singers Antonina Nezhdanova, Fyodor Chaliapin, Leonid Sobinov, Vladimir Atlantov, Aleksandr Pirogov, Yevgeniy Nesterenko, Irina Arkhipova, Elena Obraztsova, and such great names in the world of ballet as Marina Semenova, Galina Ulanova, Maya Plisetskaya, Raissa Struchkova, Lyudmila Semenyaka, Nikolai Fadeyechev, Ekaterina Maksimova, Vladimir Vasilyev, Maris-Rudolf Liepa and Mikhail Lavrovskiy. The theatre has experienced many vicissitudes during its 223-year life. Founded as a private theatre on 28 March 1776, under a warrant granted by the Empress Catherine II, it soon became a State institution and has remained one down to the present day. It suffered two fires, in 1805 and 1853, and reopened in 1856 after being rebuilt by the architect Albert Cavos to the original plans of Osip Bovet. This elegant building, its colonnade of eight Doric columns surmounted by a bronze quadriga driven by Apollo, still possesses a special grandeur and majesty that make its image immediately recognizable to lovers of the performing arts the world over. Since then, for over 140 years, the Bolshoi Theatre has been constantly undergoing minor repairs and restoration, but this has unfortunately been insufficient to solve the problems it has accumulated with the passage of time. The behind-the-scenes technology is also in need of modernization, to enable the theatre to stage new, interesting large-scale productions. Following a thorough survey of the premises by a specially appointed commission, the Government recognized the need for a comprehensive restoration and rebuilding programme for the theatre back in 1987, but events in subsequent years meant it had to be postponed. In 1993, the Russian Government decided that subsidiary premises should be built, after which restoration and reconstruction work would commence on the principal building, the idea being that the new premises would house the Bolshoi company pending completion of that work and would become its second auditorium. The foundation stone of the new building was laid on 8 September 1995 in Theatre Square, in front of the Bolshoi itself. Work on the fabric of the building has now been completed, and the installation of technical equipment and the finishing and decorating operations began in October 1999. The preliminary estimate of the total cost of renovation and reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theatre is close to US $200 million. The Bolshoi Theatre reconstruction project is assisted by UNESCO on the basis of a tripartite agreement signed in 1993 by UNESCO, the Russian Ministry of Culture and the Bolshoi Theatre. In order to draw worldwide attention to the theatre's problems, an international campaign to raise funds for its restoration was launched in May 1999 by UNESCO. A steering committee has been set up to supervise the campaign, oversee income and expenditure, and advise on general policy matters connected with the project's implementation. This committee comprises representatives of UNESCO, the Russian Government and the Moscow municipality, the governing body of the Bolshoi, directors of some of the world's major opera houses and leading figures in the world of culture and the arts. The campaign is being coordinated by UNESCO which has opened special bank accounts to receive contributions for the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theatre. One of the most important measures to be taken in connection with this international campaign will be an International Day of Solidarity with the Bolshoi Theatre on 28 March 2000. The world's theatres, cinemas, concert halls and other cultural and performing arts centres are invited to participate by setting aside any sum they can afford from box-office receipts of one performance on that day. Other organizations, corporate bodies and individuals caring about what becomes of the Bolshoi are also invited to take part. The names of all who have helped the Bolshoi will be recorded in a commemorative list that is to be incorporated in the fabric of the restored and renovated theatre [ text: © 2000 The Bolshoi Theatre (www.bolshoi.ru) ] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 16:32:13 +0100 From: Michelle Hirschhorn <m.hirschhorn@virgin.net> Subject: Transmute at Site Gallery Transmute - Keith Armstrong Friday 9th March 12.30pm Presented simultaneously at Site Gallery - UK and The Powerhouse =AD Australia www.sitegallery.org/liveart Transmute is a highly interactive, live-art/installation work that aims to draw attention to the visible and invisible relationships that exist between people and their local and global environments.

The prize money of 10,225 Euro (20,000 DM) is donated by private enterprises. The (maximum of) four award winners and about 12 recognitions will be chosen by the expert jury. A choice of the submitted projects will be presented during the CYNETart festival. This choice will be made by the promoter. CYNETart Forum 2001 INTERFACES CYNETart sees itself as a local and at the same time as a global centre of reflection about the information society and for the formation of its cultural dimension. The festival is at the heart of the political concept “media culture city Dresden”. We view artistic exploration of the possibilities of computer- and net-based communication as a field of investigation into changes in our ways of perception, social relations, exchange relations, image, product- and marketing strategies, political and scientific research aims and development of creativity and human potential. At the topical centre of the CYNETart 2001 will be installations, experiments, performances and research results dealing with connections between technological and bio-psycho-social interfaces. In the course of their history, human beings have created a network and at the same time labyrinthine system of mirror images, symbolisations, and projection space into which they go on the search for their being. Modern information technology brings forth a sensorial system not only of optical, acoustic, bio-electronic, and tactile information processing. It also puts us in the position of being able to receive, to gauge, to process, to save, to network and to exchange a broad spectrum of energetic vibration parameters. Thus new "faces" developed by means of which we perceive our "inner" and "outer" world. Deadline: 30th of April, 2001 Regulations and submission form: http://www.body-bytes.de send the submission to CYNETart office Medienkulturzentrum PENTACON Schandauer Str. 64 D - 01277 Dresden Further enquiries from Dorothea Kupsch (Koordination) kupsch@body-bytes.de or Tel. +49-351-3400673 ------------------------------ # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
