Open Space welcomes Richard Martel and Julie Andrée T., two of Quebec’s acclaimed performance artists, to join local artists for Officially Bilingual/Officiellement bilingue, a weekend of performance art—a particular visual art practice, distinct from theatre or dance—at 510 Fort Street. Martel is featured on Friday, February 15; Andrée T. on Saturday, February 16. Performances begin at 8:00 p.m. Admission by donation. Martel and Andrée T. will be joined by members of Victoria’s Open Actions Performance Art.
Officially Bilingual/Officiellement bilingue continues Open Space’s history of hosting performance art influenced, in large part, by the practice of local artists John Boehme and Judith Price. Boehme and Price have initiated this project as an opportunity to present work from well-known Quebec artists who have rarely been invited to perform in Victoria. The title of this project suggests an active engagement with the unique language of performance actions as much as a play on Canada’s national language policy.
