1. Hector Canonge, FF Alum, in IBERICA 2025, Cuenca, Spain, June 23- 29
The International Network of Performance Art (INPA) under the curatorial direction of the artist and independent cultural producer, Hector Canonge, launches IBERICA, the first international Performance Art Residency & Festival to take place in Spain from June 23rd to 29th, 2025. Under the auspices of Centros Art House Spain initiated by Art House Madrid, the first edition of IBERICA welcomes sixteen artists from around the world selected through an international open call. For its first program, IBERICA focuses on aspects of territoriality and corporeity as explored through Performance Art and its various manifestations. Selected participants will be hosted as resident artists at Kárstica Espacio de Creación in Cañada del Hoyo, Cuenca, (June 23rd to 27th) and will present live performances at Museo La Neomudéjar in Madrid (Saturday and Sunday, June 28th and 29th).
Participating artists:
Alina Tofan (Rumania), Anila Balla (Albania), Carlos Tejo (Spain), Esther Kasenda (Congo), Ian Seth Mozdzen (Canada), István Kovács (Hungary), Katarina Balunova (Slovakia), Katarina Rasic (Serbia), Kaù Chiayu Lin (Taiwan), Sonja van Kerkhoff & Sen McGlinn (New Zealand), Veronica Córdova de la Rosa (Mexico), Vivekananda Kadakam Ramakrishna (India), Yell Freeman (United States), Zhenxiang Zhao (China), Zoe Map (Italy), Zohreh Fazli (Iran).
IBERICA is an independent, self-sustained creative initiative whose goal is to create a platform where established, emerging, and new artists can dialogue, share knowledge, and reflect on the discipline of performance art and their own approaches to Live Action Art. In addition to the creative residency program and the festival, IBERICA includes workshops, seminars, public interventions, and presentations not only for participants but also for a wider audience in the cities where it takes place, Cuenca and Madrid in 2025. Another aspect of the program is to foster cooperation among participating artists in a shared space suitable for coexistence and collaboration. Created by artist and cultural producer, Hector Canonge, IBERICA officially launches in 2025. According to Canonge, the idea germinated after participating in the European performance art festivals ENCUENTRO in Berlin and PERFORMATICA in Venice. Seeing the need to create a platform for coexistence and creation for artists whose practice focuses particularly on Performance Art, IBERICA was born from those initial conversations between artists and other curators. The proposal Canonge took to the directors of Centro Art House Madrid was well received, and negotiations began in late 2024. For its first edition, IBERICA will feature artists from six continents, all gathering and sharing knowledge at the former Cañada del Hoyo train station in Cuenca, Spain.

Safari Dandy
The Tie Bar
I’m excited to share my collaboration with The Tie Bar on a limited-edition Pride collection inspired by movement, memory, and the art of joyful expression. The Safari Dandy collection features a range of accessories—ties, pocket squares, socks, scarves, and cufflinks—all perfectly suited for any dapper destination this summer season. The 13-piece accessory capsule will be available while supplies last, both online and in the Tie Bar’s Chicago flagship store (918 W Armitage). Proceeds from the collection will be in benefit of Translifeline, the trans-led organization that connects trans people to the community, support, and resources they need to survive and thrive.
DSA Conference Co-Chair
Dance Studies Association (DSA)
Program Dates: June 25-29
I’m serving as Co-Chair for the 2025 Dance Studies Association (DSA) conference, Indeterminate States: Bodies, Field, Praxis, reviewing submissions and curating and executing events. The 2025 DSA conference will be held in Washington, D.C. from June 25-29.
Artist & Community Wellbeing Summit
The Harvey B. Gantt Center
Program Date: June 28
I’m excited to speak to the Black Carolina Artists-in-Residence during an intimate Artist & Community Wellbeing summit on Saturday, June 28, from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm at The Harvey B. Gantt Center in Charlotte, NC. I’ll be speaking on the symbiotic relationship between the artist and community in a conversation moderated by the Residency Manager Afeni Grace. This conversation will explore the often unseen and untold challenges of the artist’s journey, the layered meaning of self-care, the cultivation of self-worth and healthy habits such as discipline and boundary-setting, the cathartic roots of creating and storytelling, how medium shapes identity and self-perception, and each artist’s unique approach to sustaining their own self-care.
The Rite
MCA Chicago
Performance Dates: July 18, 3pm & 7pm; July 18, 3pm & 7pm; September 12, 1pm & 3pm
As part of MCA Chicago’s upcoming exhibition City in a Garden, The Rite is a collaborative performance within a sculptural and sound installation that will be activated at the MCA Chicago this summer and fall. City in a Garden: Queer Art and Activism in Chicago is an intergenerational group exhibition that highlights Chicago’s essential, yet often underacknowledged, role in the story of queer art and activism. The exhibition will run from July 5, 2025 – May 31, 2026.
The Queer Body in the Landscape
Ox-Bow
Teaching Dates: August 10-23
Later this summer I will be teaching a class focusing on The Queer Body in the Landscape at Ox-Bow alongside Fleming Staples. This class will explore what it means for a queer body to define, exist, and perform in a landscape. Combining embodiment, ecology, and moving image, the course will use the camera as a witness to performances that are collaboratively built out of movement workshops. The two-week course will culminate with a public screening of collaboratively produced videos.
Initiative on Race and Resilience 2025 Artist in Residence
Notre Dame
I’m pleased to announce that I am the 2025 artist-in-residence at the Notre Dame Initiative on Race and Resilience. In the fall term, the residency and collaboration will encompass several dances, a reprise performance of “Moving Through,” artist’s talks with/about the Joffrey, film studies, a one-credit course with field work in Chicago, poster/zine design work and so much more. This residency has the additional collaboration of the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art and the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
Calling Community
Mulock Park, Newmarket, Ontario
Calling Community is a monumental public sculpture that celebrates Newmarket’s rich cultural diversity and spirit of togetherness. Rooted in my’ personal history as a Kenyan-Indian-Canadian raised in Newmarket, this work transforms museological wire armatures—often used to support African masks—into soaring stainless steel forms up to 16 feet tall. These abstract yet anthropomorphic figures evoke movement, migration, and memory, welcoming visitors into Mulock Park like a gathering of dancers or a family. Both a tribute to my roots and a call to collective belonging, Calling Community is a beacon for inclusivity, resilience, and intergenerational joy in the heart of Newmarket.

ART IN ODD PLACES ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATING ARTISTS
The City of West Hollywood presents
Art in Odd Places 2025: VOICE / West Hollywood
ENGAGEMENT | AGENCY | PRESENCE | RESONANCE
JULY 25, 26, & 27, 2025 | 4–9pm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. June 20, 2025. Art in Odd Places (AiOP) is pleased to announce the names of the 36 projects and art collectives selected to participate in Art in Odd Places 2025: VOICE / West Hollywood. Presented by The City of West Hollywood and curated by Deborah Oliver, celebrates the 40th year of West Hollywood’s incorporation as an independent municipality and the 20th edition of this iconic public visual and performance art festival. AiOP 2025: VOICE / WEHO will take place at Plummer Park on Friday, July 25; West Hollywood Park on Saturday, July 26; and Sunset Boulevard between Sherbourne Avenue and N Doheny Drive on Sunday, July 27.
For the 40th anniversary of the City of West Hollywood, we honor the voices that have shaped these milestones—voices of creativity, resilience, and advocacy. West Hollywood, a city born from collective action, reminds us that when people make their voices heard, extraordinary change is possible. This year’s festival, VOICE, asks artists to consider and explore the many ways voices resonate in public spaces. Inspired by West Hollywood’s legacy as a hub for activism and culture, the festival asks: How can art express the complexity of our times? Can art help us find resonance and connection amidst disconnection?
AiOP 2025: VOICE / WEHO is dedicated to Jacki Apple (1941-2022) – an artist, writer, composer, producer, and educator based in New York and Los Angeles. A champion of performance and conceptual art, she was dedicated to increasing the cultural power of fellow artists.

“Barbara Rosenthal Contemplates Suicide,” 2005, has been included by IMDb (Internet Movie Database), https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt34788503/
“Barbara Rosenthal Contemplates Suicide” is a solo performance video that exists in two iterations: a multi-take loop, first shown in her bathroom installation at the Chelsea Hotel in 2007, and also as a single take, which premiered in Berlin, 2014.
DESCRIPTION:
Emerging from a long, uselessly medicated psychiatric cesspit lasting nearly a decade during which the contemplation of suicide never left her mind, artist Barbara Rosenthal, always working at the intersection of Art and Life, now recites, from her bathtub of lethal acoutrements, with many irregularities and repeated takes, Hamlet’s famous soliloquy.
The video exists in two forms from the same footage: as the single take that the day of 50 takes of shooting intended, and as the loop-installation or full version of all takes through that decisive one, releasing the power of repetition pitted against the competing demands of performer/technology/director. The piece world-premiered as a loop at Art Attack: Pool Art Fair at the Chelsea Hotel, NY, Sept. 27-29, 2007 as part of her Bathroom Installation which included her logo images Bird Hands, Brain Scan TR-9002, and Red Rubber Name Stamp. The single-version world-premiere is at the Boddinale Film Festival, Berlin, Germany, February, 2014,
This now brings to seven [Hands and Feet. BuzzClickSsshhTingle, Hot and Cold Shakeup, Toil of Three Cities / Liebesmüh, Breaking Glass, Barbara Rosenthal Contemplates Suicide, Dog Recognition (English/German/Russian/Chinese)] the number of Rosenthal’s 131 videos so far submitted and accepted to this prestigious comprehensive collection thanks to her studio assistant Rachel Rampleman (hired via FF’s Goings On For Artists!)

“A Night at La Nacional,” the monthly film/arts event launched in April at the Spanish Benevolent Society’s landmark home on Manhattan’s West 14th Street and drawing diverse creative communities to its salon ambience, returns on Tuesday June 24th with a 1925-dress code event and a display of Spanish film and arts to celebrate a century of the move to its permanent home. Daily News dubbed La Nacional “a hidden gem,” the last remnant of Manhattan’s “Little Spain” and one of the city’s oldest non-profits. We celebrate the milestone with a night of works by distinguished women from Spain’s new generation.Marqueé headliners are In Remembrance of the Forgotten, a dance drama by Marta Arjona; Corahe, queer love and loss against the backdrop of a flamenco tablao by Lucía Román Canivell; and Beach Birds: The Shaman, The Guardian, The Journey by performance artist/filmmaker Ivana Larrosa, who also exhibits her “Engrams” series, enhanced photographs of her early-20th-century ancestors, in the gallery. Flutist/composer Kat Modiano performs a soundscape accompanied by poetry from the Generation of ’27 and the Harlem Renaissance.
A Night at La Nacional offers a worldly mix of film, arts and more in the great downtown Manhattan tradition, a lively hub where filmmakers, performers, artists and communities share work and forge partnerships while drawing new patrons to La Nacional, serving its Spanish constituency and artists from all over the world since its founding. Doors open 5:30 for the mixer and art exhibit, performances at 6:30, screening at 8 with a Q & A and after-party. We welcome you to what we know will be an unforgettable 100-year anniversary. Admission to “A Night at La Nacional” is free. Donations accepted. DRESS CODE: 1925

Yura Adams – Companion
by CLARE GEMIMA
At Olympia, Companion reveals Yura Adams’s ongoing inquiry into impermanence, solitude, and the reciprocal tempo between painter and environment. On view through June 21, 2025, the exhibition brings together oil paintings that privilege abstraction over representation, each one distilling a charged negotiation between gesture and perception. Informed by Adams’s daily immersion in the rural landscapes of Western Massachusetts, the works do not depict nature so much as move with it, tracking its rhythms, divergences, and shifts in parallel motion.
Her compositions echo the temporal rhythms of natural systems—germination, bloom, decay, disintegration—yet resist the conventions of ecological portraiture. They open onto a mutable field where figuration disperses, and the singular subject dissolves into ambient gesture. Brushwork approaches recognition, then retreats, holding a suspended tension between emergence and disappearance. “I don’t want to nail down the subject, so I abstract the forms,” she told artist Daniel Giordano in a recent conversation about the exhibition <https://twocoatsofpaint.com/2025/05/yura-adams-a-freewheeling-conversation-with-daniel-giordano.html.
Companion centers around five major paintings, each asserting a distinct presence while drawing from a shared formal language. Nesting Box Transition presents an eruption of dandelion-like bursts in sky blue and moss green—floating, scattering, recomposing. Scent of Milkweed Blossom Drives Monarch Traffic compresses the surface with petal-heavy gestures, as if summoned through breath or recollection. In Moths Fading From Public Eye, a lone hibiscus rendered in soft grapefruit tones stands in for what fades from shared awareness. The tree form in The Dutchess Stump reads as both anchor and residue—part structure, part afterimage, and in jagged motion and frozen spikes, Cicada Timbale hums with a kind of percussive charge that seems to entirely evade any sense of plant recognition.
Adams forgoes the convention of presenting discrete works within a neutral white cube, instead reconfiguring Olympia as a stage-like environment attuned to the choreographic logic of her practice, one rooted in performance and photography since the 1970s. Modest in scale yet dense with gesture, the paintings are theatrically lit, each isolated by spotlights that heighten their strong smudgings and strokes. Encasing the gallery is a wallpaper mural backdrop—a monochromatic collage of motifs lifted directly from the paintings, composed in Photoshop and printed at scale. From afar, it suggests a painted field, but upon closer inspection reveals its digital construction. This oscillation between surface and source is signature in Adams’s process in which compositions originate as speculative digital studies. These iterations, never prescriptive, serve as loose frameworks—open to fragmentation, recombination, or abandonment as her paintings take shape on canvas.
This logic of transformation also finds pointed expression in Housatonic Breezy, a painting installed in the gallery’s front window, anchored in Adams’s direct relationship to place. The Housatonic River, which borders her property, remains ecologically compromised—contaminated by General Electric’s PCB dumping, unfishable, yet insistently alive. Adams renders this entanglement without sentiment or lament. Her landscape paintings (only in the loosest sense) eschew nostalgia in favor of an unresolved tension: a poetics of endurance shaped by contamination, where beauty and collapse remain inseparable.
The exhibition’s title emerged through early conversations between Adams and Olympia’s director, Ali, as the word “companion” repeatedly surfaced in their studio exchanges. It offered an intuitive framework for the works’ quiet gravitational pull. Living and working in rural solitude, Adams has developed a sustained attentiveness to the trees, plants, and non-human presences that inhabit her surroundings. Many of the trees on her property have died of natural causes, leaving behind stumps that recur throughout her paintings. These forms are not mourned; they are regarded with care, acknowledged not as remnants but as enduring participants, and friends.
The exhibition reflects on what companionship might entail when the human is no longer central. It considers how we relate to what endures beyond us, to what persists quietly at the edges of perception, regardless of whether we choose to notice. These questions gain particular urgency in the context of environmental demise, though Adams resists making them explicit. Her approach, while touched by a sense of care, remains measured and seemingly neutral.
Companion is not an exhibition of grand gestures. Its strength lies in its restraint, in the way it asks viewers to slow down, recalibrate, and attune to a different register. These paintings do not clamor for attention, but softly hold it. Adams’s painterly language is recursive, with stumps, branches, seed pods, and blossoms reappearing across canvases in altered states. The resulting works have arisen abstractly: not as representational, but as sustained acts of perception. In this light, companionship shifts from sentiment to duration, becoming a quiet, ongoing practice of noticing what once was, and documenting what still remains.
