Thank you @ywk
Chris Creighton-Kelly brings us a provocative presentation, filled with questions and authenticity. Blurring the lines and smoothing between performative moments and reflection of recent community moments - in short a gift. #theStage https://livebiennale.ca/2021/ https://fb.watch/93QmIFZ5BP/

“Mending” (2009) by Margaret Dragu
This work was part of a series of pieces centered around “verb actions” developed by Margaret Dragu in collaboration with Paul Couillard. In this piece, Dragu films herself repeating the action of “mending,” overlapping the subsequent iterations to create layers of actions that slowly deteriorate and obscure with each repetition.

“SECOND WALK: assembled meanings for home” (2011) by Guadalupe Martinez
Part of a residency at GAM Gallery, “Second Walk” is a durational performance, taking place over 12 hours. During this performative walk, Martinez collected objects from sites surrounding the gallery and her Vancouver residence. The objects were brought back to the gallery and arranged as an installation.
