The artist religious leaders who are participating in this exhibition of sacrificial art (sacrificial in the sense of gift or offering) are the new wave of human beings who are discovering their own truths. They are not hanging back and waiting for the cogitations and directives of official functionaries.

Sunday Afternoon Tea At Grunt: Coffee- Tea Readings
- June 24, 2004

"Although scheduled for the grunt's adjacent space, the piece began in the gallery proper, where audience members lined up to deposit identification in exchange for a seven-channel headset...After the first twenty headsets had been distributed, audience members were lead to a room where Arcan, dressed in t-shirt and jeans, paced back-and-forth within a taped-off rectangle approximately ten feet long and four feet wide. In one hand, what looked like a car reflector; in the other, a tea towel, with a calendar printed on it, which the artist carried with him at all times...he would transport the reflector from one end of the rectangle to the other, leaving it on a small (Modernist) table before retreating, then returning for it, repeating the action. He did this five or six times before the audio tracks kicked in, at which point Arcan stopped his relay. As he moved slowly around (within) the rectangle, staring out (leering?), lips quivering, I familliarized myself with the audio tracks: a cross-cultural selection of songs, guy talk, birdcalls, women's voices engaged in what sounded like sexual acts, a spiritual recitation, a father and son dialogue, what sounded like an audio palimpsest of all seven tracks at once..." - Michael Turner, Love Claims, July 2004

Talking to Strangers is a show that explores, through use of oral history, physical theatre, and projected images the similarities and connections between the people of Newfoundland and Quebec, With text taken verbatim from conversations, this show plays with senses of humour and place and looks at how language - each uniquely distinctive - reveals the identity of both. Growing up a Newfoundlander of Cockney parentage and later moving to Quebec, Louise Moyes developed a fascination for accents, stories, and personal as well as contrasting world views. Louise has presented her work across Canada and in Europe.

Their Wonderland is the real and unreal city of New York - here you find larger than life characters entering into their cab adventures for the next installment of their whimsical nightmare or dream. The three stories are about the magic of life and people seeking a happy ending.

In conjunction with the 4th LIVE Biennial of Performance Art, The Al Neil Project presents four evenings of interdisciplinary work by, and inspired by, Vancouver innovator Al Neil, a seminal force in the multi-disciplinary practices that have flourished on the West Coast over the past 50 years. Al Neil's career as a musician, composer, writer, bricoleur, and performance artist has spanned 60 years. His influence on Vancouver's artistic communities has been profound and enduring. This project endeavours to both assess and celebrate Neil's contribution to the development of avant-garde practices in Vancouver. LIVE 2005 will feature four events celebrating Al Neil's legacy in the community, including concerts, screenings, readings and performances.
