STUART BRISLEY [England]
"Shopping For Shit"
Brisley's seminal art practice has, for thirty five years,
greatly informed the development of performance art in the UK and Europe. His
cultural renown and notoriety stems largely from his experiments of the
sixties and seventies, which physically challenged the body's points of
psychological, material and emotional resistance and flow. His work
inquires into relationships between volition and compulsion that exist
regardless of the veneer society projects upon birth, death, sexuality and
politics. He was professor of Media Fine Art Graduate Studies at the Slade
School of Fine Art, has exhibited his work globally, and is recognised as one
of England's most decisive contributors to the late twentieth century
avant-garde in visual art.
At trace: he will presenting work from his
on-going project Ordure/Abfell
[Ordure, dirt:anything unclean; Abfell: scrap,
remnant, waste], which investigates the notion of what constitutes
rubbish.
trace: is offered as a significant artspace that represents
intersections
between artistic disciplines. A place for wider discourse
and dissemination of contemporary art practice that's seeks to place emphasis
on context in the working process. The focus is primarily performative - to
explore the previously
untried ways of Othinking and Odoing offered by time
based art and work that emerges from this field - performance, video, sonic,
interactive,
installation.
trace: highlights one artist per month -
each artist presents a live investigation with the Otrace¹
elements of
this activity exhibited as installation open to the public by
appointment on
consecutive weekends during the month.

Julie Andree-Trembley [Quebec]
"Unexpected
Thought"
From Quebec, Julie Andree-Trembley has been actively engaged in
performance
art actions and events from the early O90's including
intervention and dance
related projects in Montreal and Europe. The artist
will work from midday
culminating in a definitive performance at 18.00. As
Trembley says of her
work for trace: :..when actions such as walking ,
talking and making sound
are performed within a context where a clear imprint
of action is left
within a space in which it was produced, one can see a real
cohesive
relationship between action and matter. As if the echoing of human
gesture
possesses a valuable and sensitive continuum, even within the
smallest of
traces.²
Julie Andree-Trembley represents a new generation of
emerging artists from
Quebec who have been invited by trace: as part of a
Wales-Quebec exchange
project that will further develop over the next three
years. In partnership
with Le Lieu, Centre en Art Actuel, trace: is
producing a long term
programme that will include a Quebec performance event
in Cardiff in 2003
and a Welsh performance event in Quebec in 2004. This will
also include a
number of educational and writers exchanges. The trace:
Wales-Quebec
exchange initiatives are supported by Wales Art international
and the
offfice of the Government of Quebec in London.

Brian Connolly [N. Ireland]
"Initiate"
Brian Connolly's practice embraces a range of contemporary art forms and media in pursuit of artworks that reveal evocative, sometimes hidden, layers of a particular place. His work passionately challenges societal views of history, culture & politics and he attaches particular importance to considering the role of art within contemporary culture. He has participated extensively in artist-initiated projects in Europe as well as in Canada, Mexico, Ireland and the UK. He has a history of initiating artists¹ projects
including the influential OAvailable Resources' in Derry. He is a board member of the Artists Association of Ireland, the Sculptors Society of Ireland and is a member of the editorial board of Circa Contemporary Art Magazine, Ireland.
At trace: he will be initiating a series of games, activities and tasks as host and facilitator. These activities will create a layering in the hope of drawing comparisons with the complexity of contemporary existence within an increasingly Globalised economic structure.
³I would also be delighted to contrive a sense of visual absurdity and fun in our endeavour.
.....Something will be left for posterity²

Morgan O'Hara [USA] - Performance & Installation
"LIVE
TRANSMISSION"
Morgan O'Hara's childhood and early adolescence in an
international
community
in post-war Japan early established close
relationships between east and
west,
creation and destruction, life and
art. Her work falls naturally into two
parts: TIME STUDIES, which she has
done on a daily basis since 1971 and
time-space work: PORTRAITS FOR THE
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY and LIVE
TRANSMISSIONS. The latter have resulted in many
interdisciplinary
collaborations. O'Hara's strong link to the international
new music scene is
evident in performances with Anthony Braxton in New York
at the Knitting
Factory and the Tri-Centric Foundation Festival and with the
Work in
Progress Ensemble in Berlin which performed musical compositions
based on
her drawings at the Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin's Museum of Modern
Art).
The point of live contact between eye and subject and between
pencil and
paperis essential to her work. She performs with people of all
walks of
life, thereby shortening and perhaps dissolving the boundaries
between art,
criticism and life. For her work at trace: Morgan O'Hara will
be
investigating notions of the trace in relation to the body as flesh
passing
through time & space.
trace: is offered as a
significant artspace that represents intersections

disciplines. A place for wider discourse and dissemination
of contemporary
art practice that's seeks to place emphasis on context in
the working
process. The focus is primarily performative - to explore the
previously
