the platform for new art. the salon for topics and ideas.
With its Atelier series, PACT Zollverein offers an evening-long platform in which professional artists from diverse art forms have room to present sketches, projects and ideas. Works considered can originate from all contemporary art forms. Ateliers are open to the public.
All public spaces in our building may be used. The stage is generally reserved for live performance work, which should not exceed 10 minutes so that more than one Atelier participant may benefit from it. PACT provides full technical assistance, but set-up and equipment requirements should be kept as simple as possible.

- Performance Studies International #12
14-18 June 2006
PSi #12: PERFORMING RIGHTS What can performance do for human rights, and human rights for performance?
www.psi12.qmul.ac.uk
PSi #12: Performing Rights will be a gathering of artists, activists and academics who are making and
researching performance that declares its interest and intent within the field of Human Rights.
PSi #12 is being approached as a festival of creative dialogues investigating the boundaries and relationships
between Human Rights and performance and will present an integrated schedule of conference and contextualising events.
The PSi #12: Performing Rights contextualising programme will include research and resource materials, performances,
interventions, new media presentations, installations, screenings, displays, artists led laboratories and spontaneous interactions.
These will attempt to create a context for exploring the role of performance and the responsibilities of artists in effecting political, social
and cultural change. We aim to illuminate the creative strategies that artists and activists use to communicate issues of human rights and to empower artists, activists and audiences to be able to make a difference.
The contextualising activities for PSi #12 will include the following strands: A Library of Materials: A space housing resource and
research materials including publications, videos, DVDs, CDROMs, brochures, digital and web based initiatives, and real and
virtual archives. Through these, and other new media, the Library will explore and enable the documentation and transmission of
performance in relation to human rights.
A Manifesto Room and Library of Materials: A 24 hour a day space in which interventions, interactions, experimentations, activations,
declarations and polemics will be presented, performed and posted and where new media and web based interventions and international
input will be actively solicited. The space will house resource and research materials including publications, videos, DVDs, CDROMs,
brochures, digital and web based initiatives, and real and virtual archives. Through these, and other new media, the Library and
Manifesto Room will explore and enable the documentation and transmission of performance in relation to human rights. The Manifesto Room
and Library of Materials will form the centrepiece of PSi #12: Performing Rights and will continue to exist as an active and generative resource
after its launch in London at PSi#12.
Call for Proposals and Ideas
PSi #12 Performing Rights are inviting proposals, recommendations and ideas for all aspects of the contextualising programme
from artists, activists, curators and commentators throughout the world. We are interested in receiving recommendations and
proposals about performance and new media projects, initiatives, publications, videos, websites, events, networks, organisations
that are concerned with, or informed by, issues of Human Rights. We particular welcome information about artists, projects and
initiatives that may it not be possible to research through
conventional channels.
Proposals, ideas and recommendations should be forwarded to:
ps...@qmul.ac.uk or in...@thisisliveart.co.uk or to:
