With CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Prologue 1, the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK headed into a new direction in 2017, following the closure of the Trilogy of the Body in 2016.

2012-2016 • TRILOGY OF THE BODY

The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK Trilogy of the Body (2012-2016) live art exhibition project consisted of:

 
 

The project aimed to promote the practices of performance art on a local, national and international scale, with an exhibition and live program exclusively dedicated to them, and the related Learning Program presented in cooperation with international partner organizations. In respect of the ethical principle of trans-national cultural collaboration, since its first edition in 2012, the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK has become a recognized platform where the propositive dialogue and the open confrontation among different cultures and artistic expressions could flourish. The core of its mission is, in fact, to strengthen the importance of the concepts of mobility, art nomadism and temporary community; to offer moments of fruitful encounters and exchange to lay the foundations for future professional opportunities for artists and cultural operators; and, finally, paying attention to the creation of a broader audience for performance art. Being a gathering reunion among artists and people "who looked for the pearls in the rivers of human civilizations to came to share what they found" (Lee Wen), the project works also as a think tank for outlining conceptual visions which de-clearly overcome imposed and external human conditioning, generating further propositive reflection on topics such as poetic and civil sovereignty, the whole and the ineffable, time, space and existence. 

Each of the three editions of the Trilogy of the Body, consisted of a comprehensive exhibition showing historical performance art pioneers' works and documentation, alongside the presentation of live art performances by contemporary established and emerging international performance artists. The program was structured as such: daily morning talks by and encounters with the participating artists, associated curators and cultural operators open to public; series of long durational performances during the afternoons; and shorter performance slots in the evenings. The ART WEEK | FRINGE section is dedicated to upcoming and emerging artists, both local and international ones. In such context, the urgency of exhibiting the works of pioneers of this art praxis, alongside the most avantgarde contemporary live proposals, reflect the curators VestAndPage's artistic research on the field and their choice to trace a continuity within this specific thus interdisciplinary art form from past to present. At the same time, the intent was to highlight previous valuable experiences, which grounded the art of performance in the course of art history and continue to maintain a strong sense of actuality, deserving to be remembered without declared appositive cultural intention. This is as well due for the necessity to pay tribute to art masterpieces as tools telling of social and individual awakening, which still resonate in the works of the new generations.

For each year's edition, VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK and VestAndPage press publish limited edition post-event hard cover catalogues documenting the exhibition and live performances, with essays on performance art related issues by international scholars.

Make Your Brown, Old Windows More Unique and Beautiful With Unique Window Blinds You might have noticed that the windows in the homes of some people, particularly in cities, don't look like windows at all. They look very much like brown or gray glass, and you'll see many people that complain about how dark they are. The reason for this is simply that the colors of the plastic on the windows were almost completely replaced by other colors. For one thing, make sure that your window frames are made from quality wood. In fact, you should get ones that are stained in order to really make them look like windows. To make them seem more like real windows, do your research and get a few stained ones to try out. Then you can go home and decorate the windows with colorful and attractive colors. Because brown windows are really brown, you might be tempted to use any color that you want for the frame and glass. Of course, this will not look quite right. Even if you paint it brown, you still won't have what it's supposed to be. Instead, make sure that you go for green, red or blue, as these colors will do a better job at disguising the real color of the glass. Of course, you may wonder what's so special about brown. Well, the reason why you need to make your windows look like windows has to do with the fact that the sun is going to shine through the brown windows. But don't worry, as long as you make sure that there are not too many drafts, you should be fine. Also, the darker it is, the less light gets through. So, if you like dark browns and have trouble choosing the right shades of brown, you could always just settle for the good old brown windows. If you do, however, decide to replace the windows, you should think about getting replacement windows that look like German windows. When you're shopping for windows, make sure that you get replacement German windows. You'll find that these windows will fit into almost any house and do an excellent job of hiding the ugly windows. These windows have been in use for a long time, so you can be sure that they will do a wonderful job at hiding the ugly dark ones in your house. People like the style of these windows because they come in all different reasons. For example, they come in brown and they come in white, too. You can find windows that are manufactured in Germany for cars, but even if you only use them for the walls of your house, they will do a good job of concealing the windows. While they will not completely hide the dark brown windows, they will do a great job of hiding them enough to make them look more like real windows. Of course, if you install these windows, you will want to put tinting on the windows so that you can take them off when you need to look at the outside world. To do this, you might consider a window with a shutter that allows you to get in and out without blocking out the sunlight. There are a number of different types of window tints that you can choose from, so make sure that you get one that is attractive and looks good on your windows. Because the original brown windows are pretty close to being out of style, you may want to try out a few other styles of windows. A brown window, however, can never look as good as a real German window. While you may be tempted to change your windows and buy new ones, make sure that you look at the pros and cons of changing them, rather than risking it. Although you will save a lot of money by replacing the brown windows, it can be tempting to do it. After all, they aren't much more expensive than other types of windows, and if you take a look at your house, you'll notice that they don't look all that different from other kinds of windows. Besides, a change can cause the value of your house to go down. So, unless you're just worried about your credit rating, you should leave the change alone. Windows can also offer aesthetic benefits, though they usually won't be seen that much. If you install some real German windows and put on tinting, they will really make a difference. Unlike a lot of other kinds of windows, they don't show up against the dull walls of your house, but will really stand out against the windows of the rooms.
