ARTIFACTS (Pam
Patterson & Leena Raudvee)
Entertaining without a Maid
In the fall, ARTIFACTS took up the English upper-middle-classed
language of etiquette in Entertaining
without a Maid. Hart House, as representative of a history of the
“gentleman” and that which is “proper” in Upper Canada, framed this
conversation well. In February, ARTIFACTS will continue with this theme and
will also work as collaborative provocateurs with Babble (Babel) content.

CHRISTINE BRAULT
Mixed ID’s: Seek—sort—connect—assemble— res-sembler—ras-sembler
I come from a mixed background composed of French, Scottish and maybe
from other unknown roots and ones I can now create or imagine. Playing with
meaning of words and double meanings as corporal gestures, I will use words
related to land, identity, ways of expression, mostly coming from Latin, French
and English, and create an in-between language to comprehend the mixed roots
intertwined in my own being. I will write words on myself and others. I will
record murmurs of words or questions…
Feb 8 & 10, Chapel, 2-3pm
MARGARET DRAGU
Verb Woman explores body, language, injury,
connectedness and disconnectedness through a durational performance that draws
on Margaret Dragu’s 40+ years as both a professional artist and personal
fitness trainer/movement instructor. Verb Woman uses anatomy texts,
English-to-other-language dictionaries, idiomatic dictionaries and other
reference books to physically explore common injury sites and their rehab
protocols and notions of mentoring and education of girls as an instrument for
social change.
