February 1st, 2009 - Vidéo (excerpt) produced in march 2013
"The interconnections of people, dogs, fungi, food...performing" by Nicole Fournier, is a fun subversion “of the gallery
walls as a plate”. It is a performance of making a live abstract food painting,
on the gallery wall that we are all invited, including dogs, to eat, right off the wall.
From part of a performance curatorial event Interconnected Performers by Nicole Fournier (collaboration between InTerreArt and articule) between Nicole Fournier, tagny duff and eric letourneau.

(live dining actions - dirt (earth, soil) on the floor and vegetable on the earth, with symbolic harvesting going on and composting and preparing and cooking, to painting with food paint, for painting on the wall and then eating off the wall.... other actions were performed, from the "Blinding light of death and cooking the earth" such as sharking and weedwacker action, blow drying food, and other absurd but meaningful actions....)

The first performance event showcasing the concept of Interconnected Performers
A Performance Concept - A Performance Event - February 1st, 2009 at articule, 262 Fairmount O. Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Performing Diagnostics
Installation-performance starting at noon, action at 6:30pm
Drive-in for sled dogs
Happening at 6:30pm
The Interconnections of people,dogs, fungi, food,...performing
Installation-performance starting at noon, action at 7pm and 7:30pm
Please note your dogs are invited to the performance, starting at 6:30pm.
Interconnected Performers showcases some of the concerns of interspecies relations, interhuman relations, bioworks, ecologies and interconnections with non-human performers. The event addresses human interrelationships and collectivity using living matter, bacteria, fungi and cellular collectivity (which make up humans and other species), along with non-cellular, viral performance, interconnected to life. It is about invisible performances that take place in the microcosm and the macrocosm.

Tagny Duff's performance-installation, Performing Diagnostics, invites gallery visitors to collectively perform the testing for the presence of HIV via protocols performed through the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The "testing" will be performed with garbage collected from recycling bins, the antithesis of sterile technique practiced in laboratory environments. The performance will also feature a collective action where visitors are invited to dispose of the waste (and ultimately the installation). The gallery becomes a place for creating and processing biological waste and pathogens created by its human-animal visitors.
To participate in the ELISA testing aspect of the performance please email tagny3@sympatico.ca before Sunday February 1.

André Éric Letourneau's Drive-in for sled dogs is about the transportation of pollen by mammals, in this case dogs. As mammals brush against plants in the wilderness, they pick up pollen on their fur or consume seeds and excrete them, thus allowing for the propagation of plant species. Drive-in for sled dogs will be set up in front of articule. There, dogs will be parked and invited to watch the very first episode of the "Six Million Dollar Man". Attracted to food painted on the storefront window, they will eat, devour, or at the very least lick Steve Austin, digesting him and expelling him further away, hence pollinating the soil with his bionic seed.
Nicole Fournier will present The interconnections of people, dogs, fungi, food...performing. This work brings together recycled furniture altered by the climate, food preparation and decomposing food (composting). Fournier will use her voice, weedeater, razor, hair dryer, drill and toy shark to perform actions on food and plants in earth that will be cooking on a stovetop. Intermixed with play between herself and her dog "Whistler", Fournier will also be preparing and sharing food with the public. The wildness of unpredictable improvised actions will be paired with planned or controlled actions, such as painting food on the gallery wall, which spectators and their dogs will be invited to eat.

Performing Diagnostics
Installation-performance à partir de midi, action à 18h30
Ciné-Parc pour chiens de traîneau
Action-manoeuvre à 18h30
Interconnections entre personnes, chiens, micro-espèces, nourritures,...en action
Installation-performance à partir de midi, action à 19h et 19h30
SVP notez que vos chiens sont invités aux performances, à partir de 18h30
"Performers Interconnectées" porte sur les relations interespèces, les relations interhumaines, les bio-¦uvres, l'écologie, les biotopes, les interconnexions avec des performeurs non-humains. L'évènement aborde le thème des interrelations humaines et de la collectivité, en utilisant la matière vivante, les bactéries, les fungis, et les collectivités cellulaires (dont sont faits les êtres humains et les autres espèces), dans une performance non-cellulaire et virale, interconnectée à la vie. Il s'agit de performances invisibles qui se déroulent tant dans le microcosme que dans le macrocosme.
http://interconnectedperformers.blogspot.com/
L'installation-performance de TagnyDuff, Performing Diagnostics invite les visiteurs de la galerie à participer à une performance collective autour du test de dépistage du virus HIV, en utilisant le protocole « ELISA » (dosage d'immunosorption liée à enzyme). Le dépistage sera fait à partir de déchets collectés dans des poubelles de recyclage- l'anti-thèse des techniques stériles pratiquées dans l'environnement des laboratoires. La performance donnera aussi à voir une man¦uvre collective au cours de laquelle les visiteurs seront invités à disposer des déchets (et finalement, de l'installation elle-même). La galerie deviendra un lieu où se crée et se développe les déchets biologiques et pathogènes développés par ses visiteurs humains-animaux.
Afin de participer à la performance de dépistage « Elisa », merci de vous inscrire à l'adresse suivante : tagny3@sympathico.ca avant le dimanche 1er février.

La manoeuvre d'André Éric Letourneau, "Ciné-Parc pour chiens de traîneau", traite de la transportation du pollen par les mammifères, dans le cas présent, par les chiens. Ceux-ci se frottent tout naturellement aux plantes durant leurs divagations. Ils consomment aussi les semences qui se cachent ensuite dans leurs selles, contribuant ainsi à la propagation des espèces végétales et à leur répartition naturelle sur leurs territoires. Le Ciné-Parc pour chiens de traîneau est aménagé en face de la galerie articule. Les chiens ("stationnés") sont invités à regarder le tout premier épisode de «Six Million Dollar Man» à travers la vitre de la galerie. Attirés par la nourriture peinte sur la vitrine de la galerie, ils mangeront, dévoreront, ou au moins lècheront amoureusement, Steve Austin, pour en digérer l'essence et l'évacuer plus plus tard, fécondant ainsi (symboliquement) le sol montréalais de semences bioniques.
Nicole Fournier présentera "The Interconnections of people, dogs, fungi, food...performing". Ce travail réunit des meubles recyclés transformés par les aléas du climat, la préparation de nourriture, ainsi que de la nourriture en décomposition (compost). Fournier utilisera sa voix, sa débrousailleuse, un rasoir, un sèche-cheveux, une perceuse et un jouet-requin pour opérer des actions sur la nourriture et les plantes, dans la terre ou en train de cuire sur des plaques chauffantes. Entremêlant ceci avec des jeux entre elle et son chien « Whistler », Fournier préparera aussi de la nourriture qu'elle partagera avec le public. L'extravagance d'actions improvisées sera jumelée avec des actions planifiées ou contrôlées, incluant celle de peindre de la nourriture sur les murs de la galerie que vous et votre chien serez invités à manger.
