News about Performance Art in , Caracas, Venezuela. Performance project developing until March at wonderful speed here at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Caracas. Not a Workshop but a personal piece. Workshops didn´t do too well this past year (yet the 2 "video-forums" did!), but, as teaching is my goal, hopefully things will come across soon enough. It´s fixed on my mind (teaching) and I´m still working hard on it.! (hopefully, this "show" will be a good grounding for the workshop project) For more information contact Gustavo Ernesto Leon Rodriquez at mercave72@hotmail.com |
| The Red Queen This is the Perfect Performance Art Piece because it involves combined multiple performances. It includes "Fred", the invisible performer. He is the Internet site that contains all the information, including video and still photographs. Any of the performances can stand alone or be combined in any manner to make a complete performance. This works because it is based on Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" Alice in the Garden of Live Flowers. This gives them all a common root. Index for the performances, video, still photos, "Fred's" stand alone part, creative records and alternate performance www.RedQueenPrinciple.com Performed 28 October 2006 in Dayton Ohio. Follow the links to get the full effect. If all the pages of this performance are printed out it will be more than 30 pages. The video is about 5 minutes long. |

THE HOLY GRAIL OF PERFORMANCE ARTThis site is the Holy Grail of Performance Art. It was performed at the "Pearl" in Dayton Ohio on March 12, 2006. It has all the positive attributes of Performance Art. It has mind manipulation, entertainment, deceit, poetry, unplanned audience interaction, audience participation. It is dance. It is time Art (time is a very important intentional aspect of the performance). It is a future predictor. A Prophet. NOTE: The site is in progress and will contain much more. Currently it contains a real media video of the performance. The resolution is poor because it was transferred to real media format (requires a free real player) so it will not take up so much net space. It is the "Hell's Bullet" performance art piece. NOTE: The video located above seems very slow to load. A faster loading one (that probably doesn't require a real player) is located here Rock Me Armageddon |

In September 2007 it was linked to the stage performance of http://www.retropunkx.com/index.html and Bibles of Evolution were distributed to the audience. |
