performance week in Belfast starts today

Bbeyond Belfast 2010 CHAOS
CHAOS: the complexity of causality or relationships between events. Any 'seemingly' insignificant event in the universe has the potential to trigger a chain reaction that will change the whole system.

BBEYOND PRESENTS ‘CHAOS’, A WEEK OF LIVE ART FROM A SPECIAL SELECTION OF CANADIAN ARTISTS. THIS EXCITING EVENT IS THE FIRST IN A PROGRAM THAT CURATES CUTTING EDGE PERFORMANCE ART FROM VANCOUVER, TORONTO AND MONTREAL.
THE EVENTS TAKE PLACE IN NOT-FOR-PROFIT ART SPACES IN BELFAST AND RUNS FROM THE 8TH - 13TH OF FEBRUARY 2010. AUDIENCES WILL HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE AND PARTICIPATE IN NEW APPROACHES THAT RE-CONSIDER THE ROLE OF PERFORMANCE ART IN BELFAST AND BEYOND.

The PS² SPACE: our pro ject base for the week 8th to 13th, will have daily window screenings, actions and encounters.

Friday February 12th CATALYST ARTS GALLERY @ 8pm: N.Ireland's longest established alternative space hosts Shannon Cochrane, John G Boehme, Ed Johnson and Tanya Mars. CHAOS: A disorderly mass; a jumble.

Saturday the 13th PS² SPACE @ 12pm: more performances by Judith Price, Paul Couillard, and Sylvette Babin, followed by a public discussion with the invited artists. CHAOS: the disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space In some cosmogonic views, chaos was supposed to have existed before the ordered universe.
