LIVE Biennale is excited to announce the launch of our new multi-year website.

With LIVE’s iterative nature this platform will be the site for engagement between festival years. This website is also the home of our ongoing archive project which includes an artist index connecting the early years of LIVE (1999-2005), organized by grunt gallery, to the 9 biennales (2007-2023) LIVE has hosted since becoming an independent non-profit.

_breath_ (excerpt) from _cite/site_
== Yasmine Whaley-Kalaora ==

----
This episode came out of a time when the significance of a single breath in sustaining/taking life had become uncomfortably literal. It’s an attempt at sonic comfort and to find some comedic relief in something seemingly abundant and yet so limited.

_holeness_ (excerpt) from _cite/site_
== Yasmine Whaley-Kalaora ==

----
The essence of hole-ness is an ongoing interest which turns to the tension that arises when we are confronted with a hole, gap or void while searing for something solid &/or “complete.” This episode is a sonic meander around some holes and what people chose to do with them. #theAuditorium
