Cat House Camp
Toynbee Studios, London
27 May - 31 May 2008
Venue Information:
T 020 7650 2350
Performance and Installation 27 May 2008 6pm-8.30pm
Installation only 28-31 May 2008 1-6pm
The performance on 27 May is free but spaces are limited – please RSVP to advisoryservice@artsadmin.co.uk.
Deej Fabyc with Oreet Ashery, Andy Warhol, Hugo Glendinning, Sarah Pucill, Kim Fielding, Adam Fearon & special guests.
For some time Deej Fabyc has been working on a new transnational large-scale installation, film & performance project, in association with her Artsadmin Residency Bursary.
This project developed from the starting point of looking at the Shooting paintings and the film Daddy by Niki De Saint Phalle. During May 2008 she will build a circular hut inside the Fire Room at Toynbee Studios, made out of recycled materials, and in particular, water bottles, to test some of the ideas in the larger project. She will invite significant female live artists, including Oreet Ashery, to present their own work in tableau on the evening of the 27th of May, in tandem with the documentation of the event in an intrusive collaborative fashion by renowned photographers Kim Fielding & Hugo Glendinning and film maker Sarah Pucill and video artist Adam Fearon.
Inside the hut, Fabyc will be sleeping, but you have to work to find a way in. Andy Warhol's Sleep (loaned by MOMA NYC) will be projected on the side of the Hut. Fabyc is quoting herself stealing a Warhol idea in Paris 15 years ago; before she had ever seen even a still of the film.

Artists RanK* at the Sun and Doves
Artists RanK*
A lecture performance by Deej Fabyc
It does not matter whom I talk to in London at private views, everyone has an opinion often a very strong opinion about the Artfacts Web site. This is the international site that has worked out a ranking system for artists via verifiable web presence in group and solo exhibitions worldwide. Some artists are very annoyed that they cannot seem to get their exhibitions listed, some are just annoyed at their “rank” and others profess to wish to be deleted from the system. Many are uncomfortable with the whole notion of ranking and the fact that It seems like if you are represented by a gallery that pays to be on the site you are more likely to get your shows listed. The curators I have spoken to have all said that they use Artfacts as a research tool sometimes. I first became aware of the site when an exhibition I was in, in Germany in the year 2001 was listed on the site. I am the 9743 artist to have been listed on this site, which is now up to over 185,035 artists represented by at least one exhibition. When I first saw Artfacts it was not ranked, it was just that those artists who were more represented in the International exhibition circuit had more shows on their CV’s. At that time the site was not Web 2 enabled and one had to rely on the busy archivists at Artfacts finding your show.
Now more than 114,000 artists are ranked on the site however the ranking is not that simple as the 114,000 artists are all ”ranked’ at 50,000 or below with sometimes up to 100 artists occupying the same place value, if they all have previously had no rating and have all been entered at once in the same show.
It is of course an interactive system and as I run an internationally based not for profit, project space called Elastic Residence in London as well as having curated a few other exhibitions over the years I have been in a position to really test out how the system works and watch those artists whom I have worked with CV’s change overnight sometimes from having had no visibility on the site at all. When the system is so seemingly random and flawed both by the site methodologies and the often poor archiving of even major museum shows why bother getting in a stew about it? Treat it as a game over which you have some control in the user defined content.
For my Performance in Mark McGowan’s (Rank 13594) The Guy Hilton Gallery Presents, Live on Stage at the Sun and Doves in South London on the 18th of April I will be humorously colliding Artfacts with Facebook or Stalkbook as it is now known, another Web 2 phenomenon

Home Front
Woman with Opera Glasses 1898 American Optical Company Archive of the Museum of Vision
Home Front: For my second project in development for my Artsadmin Residency Bursary, I am making a bleeding building. To be developed as a live event and as a film project presented on location in the Fair English Countryside and viewed from a distance by a distinguished audience/participants holding opera glasses to their faces in order to see the violent spectacle.

Stakehead
Well I was in at studio 5 at Artsadmin working today on the artefacts for the "Eyes Looking at You" performance in development for my Artsadmin bursary. Bobby Baker was working on her next event in the Fire Room next door. The sound track she was working with was causing me a lot of anxiety ... I guess that means that the work will be very powerful, I hope to see it next week. Made some adjustments to my own work...see photos above & below.
