Voice #2
call for papers summer-autumn 2021
Submission deadline 1 October 2021
Hypothesis: The artwork is the event! The presentation is the performance!
For the second of transitstation’s Voice series we are pleased to announce Voice #2, a call for papers, followed by a juried review of submissions and subsequent presentation and discussion at a public online seminar hosted by transitstation.
We invite contributors to present academic research papers, essays, poetic texts or alternative word-form constructions. We are looking for papers with the potential for dynamic presentation of the written word in unexpected ways that are in themselves performance. The performance of the word based work is completely open to original, challenging and exciting interpretation. There are no boundaries.
Papers will be assessed by an international jury which will select three papers. The jury will award honourable mentions to two papers and an honorarium to one the finalist. Sections of the written papers will be subsequently experienced during the seminar as performative presentations for the camera.
Voice #1
International Virtual Event Collaboration Spring 2021
The project reflects C.G. Jung's suggestion that events may be connected by causality, and they may also be connected by meaning. It is by testing and reflecting that a phenomenon like this can become the subject of research by its concrete realisation. Fundamental to our ethos is the idea of building bridges and exchanging professional and artistic ideas, defining and creating value in the moment of experience. Exchange is the medium which initiates development and progression.
Methodology
Voice #1 was formed of two synchronised on-line events:
Monday, 15 March 2021
The first event took place on Monday 15 March, comprising 10-minute simultaneous performances by four artists selected by each participating organisation. The performances were recorded within a Zoom grid representing a schematic ‘diagrammatic’ image of a virtual/theoretical transitstation scaffolding system. The recordings have been edited by transitstation to create a film depicting the simultaneity of the original performance actions.Thursday 15 April 2021
The second event took place on Thursday April 15, 2021, presenting the edited performance film in safe public settings chosen by the participating organisations at 8pm local time in each location. For example, in Germany screening of Voice #1 took place at Konsumverein Braunschweig with the support of Freundeskreis Bildender. See also Germany Kultur und Veranstaltungen.

Voice #1 participating organisations and artists
in_process, India
“in_process is the equilibrium of embodiment via inter-corporeality of the body in time. Our artistic inquiry seeks to understand the epistemological engagement of processes, legitimization of alternative affirmatives, sabotage of performance practices, documentation, individual and collaborative actions in public and indoor spaces.”
Artists participating in Voice #1 include Abhimanyu Kumar, Inder Salim, Jihyoung Park, and Yuzuru Meade.

Oblak, India
Oblak Performances is an Artist Initiative by Jeetin Rangher ( Bangalore, India). In the current situation of the world, confined to our cubes (Home) it was very important to start a Performance Art project to express our emotions and thoughts. This project eventually took the name, Oblak Performances, Oblak means cloud in Serbian. Oblak or Cloud in this context refers to cloud technology.
Oblak is a platform for performance artists across the globe, to join hands and collaborate, to witness, and to participate. Oblak creates a performance art diaspora that connects and comes together via the cloud to begin a new discussion on Performance Art while confined to our houses.
This virtual space with the time spent while on the cloud, performing and watching performances, is the common element here, to all who participate and to who watch it. Both the participants and the viewers watch the performances unfold, on a flat cube (laptop/computer screen), which is yet another cube along with, being confined inside a cube (House), via the cloud/Oblak. The important factor here is the geographical position, it is everywhere yet nowhere, this opens a great dialogue about time and space concerning the body. The surroundings, the culture, the traditions, the fashion, the architecture, all this becomes material to use, yet all this will be viewed via cloud/Oblak on a flat cube (laptop/computer screen) while sitting inside a cube (House).
Artists participating in Voice #1 include Katrina Rasic, Yen Phang, Jeetin Rangher, and Godwin Constantine.

Performance Art Latinoamérica, Latin America
Performance Art Latinoamérica, PALTA, is a platform created for the development, exploration, experimentation and presentation of Performance Art programs, projects, and artists living and working in Latin America. Best known for its playful acronym related to the Spanish word for avocado, PALTA, was initiated in the Fall of 2020 by interdisciplinary artist and curator, Hector Canonge. PALTA was created to establish a network of artists working in Live Art, to forge stronger relations among artists from Latin America, and to disseminate performance art from various countries in the region. Canonge saw the need to further expand the development of Latin America performance art work through programs and events open to the public and delivered through online technology. To this day, PALTA has presented the work of more than 100 artists from various countries and whose approach and modalities to the discipline have enriched the manifestation of Live Art around the world.
Artists participating in Voice #1 include Marion Ariel Aragon, Alejandro Jaramillo, Marcelo Angeloi Diaz, and Raul Rodriguez.
