[10th Anniversary of PAN Asia Performance Art Network Asia 2019]
International Exchange of Contemporary Asian Performance Art and Live Art
PAN ASIA(Performance Art Network ASIA) is an active organization for international artistic cooperation. Focusing on alliance and cooperation among performance art and live art festivals in Asia, PAN ASIA is searching for distinctiveness, universality, and humanity of Asia.
*Alternative Preference – Multi-layered Action Met in Existence
In a series of accidents, today’s world asks for sagacious gaze at the existence of life that transcends the ordinary one, and the exploration of intimate humanity. At PAN ASIA, we will be able to catch a glimpse of the future of performance art through the extended and multi-layered approaches.
*Diversity of Asia and the Needs of the Contemporary Art World
PAN ASIA is a vivid and dynamic scene where heterogeneous cultures cross boundaries through performance art. PAN ASIA intends to share Asian sentiment through the exchange of contemporary arts transcending national boundaries. PAN ASIA gives attention to performance art, which once started multi-media experiments and led the era of revolution, is still accelerating and evolving.
This edition of PAN Asia is raising an alarm to the increasing fear and anxiety that grips human spheres of experience.
There is an urgent need to strike a balance between technological aspiration and basic human quotients which would make the calm space of our existence alive. Contemporary society is in a maddening mode of industrial revolution, latest of which is artificial intelligence, robotics and automation, completely ignoring human feeling and emotions. Art is a potent vehicle of sensibility, feelings and emotion. While sensibility is the blue-eyed boy of governmentality and industrial innovation, art nurtures the territories of feeling and emotion that have a human form.
In post-WW I & II and Cold War, urban philosophy projects the dreams of super power, generating un-retrievable signs of anxiety and danger among the humans and destroying the very planet that we belong to. Contemporary people are experiencing this crisis on a daily basis, making it hard to intervene in this process as we continue to live the time regulated in terms of our labour and participation in the economic systems mortgaging even human emotions.
Alarm is a signal to call out the need for communication and addition of human emotional activity which is now lost in chasing development and in the world of media that is continuously developing and dreaming of meaningless innovation. PAN Asia would like to create live spatial dynamics through interactive high-tech media and real-time performance amounting to artistic expressions.

RCA Performance Artists Channel Fluxus Ebb and Flow at White Cube, Bermondsey
Artist Christian Marclay has invited four RCA Performance students to inhabit his exhibition at White Cube, Bermondsey, using Fluxus scores to remake and remark on the contemporary and their own practice.
Marclay’s own exhibition extends through the gallery spaces to create an immersive experience that uses fluid motifs to challenge the viewer’s perceptions of the boundaries of fine art and studio practice, as well as providing a porous view of visual, performative and audio cultures.
Within this, Marclay has invited artists from the Royal College of Art and other London art schools to perform re-enactments of ‘Water’ works by Fluxus artists including George Brecht, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono and Mieko Shiomi.
RCA Performance pathway students Sandra Stanionyte, Yuki Kobyashi, William Colley and Leon Platt are artists who have worked with water before in their own practice. Utilising the Fluxus artists’ scores, there is a literal reference to Marclay’s installation of found drinking glasses as well as a conceptual nod to the aqueous nature of his installation.
This retrospective and archive of vessels is the setting and backdrop for the RCA students’ work. Weekly and serially, they will develop and extend their chosen Fluxus texts, taking the territory of this seminal, activist historic movement as a call to action, and moving from the original to the contemporary, and their own interests and practices across live and performance work in the here and now.
Starting this week, the performances extend across a period of ten weeks, with the four artists bringing the contemporary and their own practice into conversation with the original performances, activating and inhabiting Marclay’s installed work.
Christian Marclay, White Cube, Bermondsey, 144 – 152 Bermondsey Street London SE1 3TQ
28 January – 12 April 2015
Performances take place 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25 February; 5, 6, 26, 27 March; 7, 8 April

The score was printed as a list of words. A graph chart is set up with the words running down the side axis. Across the top, numbers are filled in with time designated in blocks of seconds. The score is filled in some manner. Then, when the performance time for each action comes up, that action is performed to generate sound.
The list reads as follows: shaking, slow dripping, fast dripping, small stream, pouring, splashing, opening corked bottle, roll bottle, drop bottle, strike bottle with glass, break glass, gargle, drink, sipping, rinsing mouth, spitting…

Live to Camera it is a series of three-minutes performances recorded live to camera by students in the Performance Pathway at the RCA. These diverse videos were made using high-end, broadcast-quality digital video to ensure that the live work was recorded and produced as a very detailed video registration of the original. The Performance Pathway in Fine Art at the RCA it’s a new approach focusing on performance practice as a specialisation. The performances here are works ‘in the moment’ that seek to harness context, situation and occasion to its advantage.
The eighteen postgraduate masters students here represent fifteen nationalities from the UK, Europe, the Far East, Africa, Australia and the USA, reflecting the global interest in performance by young and emerging artist. These videos document work that varies in subject matter and approach, displaying a range of content and individual research approaches and practices, from the use of performance as body or action, to metaphor, language or intention.

Quadrennial 2014 – Art on a flagpole
In the summer, fall and early winter of 2014 we are forecasting a certain amount of bustle in the world of art in Lithuania in general and in Vilnius in particular. It will be the third time that local Lithuanian artists and contemporary art aficionados as well as those from abroad have united under the slogan and symbol – Q14 – of the quadrennial (Ital. quadrennale).
This year the slogan of the event which the Lithuanian Artists’ Association organizes every four years is “Art on a flag pole.” The Lithuanian tricolor has always been a symbol of unity, belief and inspiration for responsible and civically engaged Lithuanians. But this time we raise a new flag – that of contemporary art.
According to art researcher Vidas Poškus: “The aspirations of the organizers of the Quadrennial confirm that the colorful language of art is the best and finest representative of the state and its society; on the other hand, the Quadrennial should reflect not only the artistic panorama of the recent years, but also our lives with their beauty, routine, and sores.”
Quadrennial 2014 invites people not only to visit the capital’s galleries, but also to think and simply enjoy art in the streets, and even on their computers.
The website-database of Q14 where the artists will exhibit their work was launched at the Gallery of the Artists’ Association (DSG).
In November-December, a selection of original art created by members of the Lithuanian Artists’ Association and other professional artists, as well as from the funds of the Lithuanian Expatriate Art Foundation and the Lewben Art Foundation, will be exhibited at the Artillery Bastion of Vilnius Defensive Wall (Bokšto St. 20/18), which is part of the National Museum of Lithuania.
After a five-year-long renovation the Bastion of Vilnius is becoming a new art venue – the latest works by contemporary artists will be exhibited within the historic walls of the Bastion for the first time after the reconstruction. The first event to take place in the renewed bastion is connected to primary purpose of a bastion – to store weapons. Only this time the weapons are those of spiritual creation, and they are aimed at political inertia and conformism, cultural routine, social indifference, and boredom!
Among other venues of Quadrennial 2014 are Arka Gallery (Aušros Vartų St. 7) and Artists’ Association Gallery DSG (Vokiečių St. 2). “Art Cinema” is another enjoyable part of the event. A photo archive of the most exciting creations by Lithuanian artists and expats will be screened simultaneously in several public places. The Quadrennial will include various educational programs, aimed to encourage children and seniors to create and take interest in art!
