Untitled lll
Artist: Louise Liliefeldt
Work ID: 64515
Description: Performance at the Art Gallery of York University, November 27, 2003.
[In conjunction with the exhibition what it feels like for a girl].
"Over the last ten years my work has been a series of endurance-based tableaux. I created performances where I push my body to a place where my mind must take over and become responsible for the duration of one particular action (more often than not in stasis). For the most part I was physically exhausted but through the power of mind over matter the body held its place, literally. I had the idea that my mind and body were working together but there came a time when I realized they were not. I was more uncomfortable than I let on and in truth preferred to be. I chose to be uncomfortable. It is a certain level of comfort that I am looking for now and in this Untitled work at York University, I produce a number of actions where the mind and body must work together. Responsibility for both physical and psychological states is vital to realizing who we are and so in a sense these actions are more honest. I've come to many realizations in the recent past about who and what I am and the actions in this work are manifestations of this awareness. This performance is about psychological process realized through physical actions. They are metaphors for how I feel and perhaps in some cases what makes me feel the way I do".

Cage
Artist: Louise Liliefeldt
ID : 64512
Description: The performance took place at the Trace 'installaction artspace', in Cardiff, Wales, May 10, 2003.
Cage develops previous, ofetn difficult works of little or no movement, creating a more action-based performance with physical process. It is a very personal piece through which the artist reworked some of the challenges that faced her earlier pieces. Psychologically it is a development of a performance in Quebec in 1999 which gave expression to a traumatic experience; physically she is attempting to rectify a performance gone wrong.

Egalitarian
Artist: Louise Liliefeldt
ID : 64525
Description: Presented by Fado Performance Inc. The performance took place in the artist's home at 331 Bartlett Avenue, Studio #201, Toronto on October 8, 2005.
Egalitarian is the first in a major new cycle of performances by the artist entitled DEADICATIONS: A Collection of Live Art Works, as well as being the latest installment in Fado's ongoing Idea series.
Artist statement
Profound influences of pop culture and personal memories are the two main themes driving this project. DEADICATIONS is not concerned with the fashion of any particular realm of popular culture so much as with a particular group of individuals who were instrumental in defining the essence of what popular culture was about at a particular time. DEADICATIONS takes its inspiration from a handful of individuals whose life on earth was spent dedicated to the same things I believe in. I was profoundly affected by the dedication of these selected individuals, expressed through their chosen lifestyles and the messages they communicated -- whether through the lyrics they professed, their various art forms, or the statements made through life altering actions. All were motivated, inspired by or had no choice but to act with all they had, which in some cases was their life. They were all passionately driven by issues related to the politics of race and class. They are artists, writers and musicians who have given me the inspiration and will necessary to become the individual I am today, and the individual I have always been, as I realize little has changed when reflecting on who and what I am as well as why I am. These individuals are physically dead, but the essence of everything they stood for continues.
The concept of this series has been in development for more than twenty years. The majority of the ideas and images that make up DEADICATIONS are based on processed memories, some of which are images from these memories that are unforgettable to me and others made up of the life work and beliefs of selected individuals that were of great inspiration to my personal beliefs and artist practices.
I describe the series as a whole as portraits shaped by ritualistic actions presented in locations chosen specifically for each work. In part my investigation is concerned with how or why particular environments (public or private) shape how we feel, both at the time and later.
The audience or participants are vital to the direction of each performance. I mean to create a shared experience and in turn a shared memory with all those present at each performance. My intention is to investigate the collage of moments as well as to investigate communication practices as a community and a society.
Egalitarian is
intimate, honest, awkward and thoughtful.
The use of popular music within the context of live performance art is new to me, but it feels vital that I use the music chosen for this work. I am interested in creating images that respond to the issues discussed in each song, images and ideas that represent what the song means and stands for to me personally as they have since I first discovered each piece. I am interested in creating actions that respond to the pace and overall mood of each song while also representing ideas that until now I seemed unable to communicate within my artistic or social practices. They have something to do with deep and very personal opinions and emotions that have long been suppressed. These pieces of music bring an aspect of me to life in a way others do not.
Egalitarian is a very personal work presented in the most personal of environments, my home. It is where I live: literally, metaphorically and psychologically. In the case of this work, the audience becomes a part of a selection of my most intimate acts.

They are artists, writers and musicians who have given me the inspiration and will necessary to become the individual I am today, and the individual I have always been, as I realize little has changed when reflecting on who and what I am as well as why I am. These individuals are physically dead, but the essence of everything they stood for continues.
The concept of this series has been in development for more than twenty years. The majority of the ideas and images that make up DEADICATIONS are based on processed memories, some of which are images from these memories that are unforgettable to me and others made up of the life work and beliefs of selected individuals that were of great inspiration to my personal beliefs and artist practices.
I describe the series as a whole as portraits shaped by ritualistic actions presented in locations chosen specifically for each work. In part my investigation is concerned with how or why particular environments (public or private) shape how we feel, both at the time and later.
The audience or participants are vital to the direction of each performance. I mean to create a shared experience and in turn a shared memory with all those present at each performance. My intention is to investigate the collage of moments as well as to investigate communication practices as a community and a society.
Egalitarian is
intimate, honest, awkward and thoughtful.
The use of popular music within the context of live performance art is new to me, but it feels vital that I use the music chosen for this work. I am interested in creating images that respond to the issues discussed in each song, images and ideas that represent what the song means and stands for to me personally as they have since I first discovered each piece. I am interested in creating actions that respond to the pace and overall mood of each song while also representing ideas that until now I seemed unable to communicate within my artistic or social practices. They have something to do with deep and very personal opinions and emotions that have long been suppressed. These pieces of music bring an aspect of me to life in a way others do not.
Egalitarian is a very personal work presented in the most personal of environments, my home. It is where I live: literally, metaphorically and psychologically. In the case of this work, the audience becomes a part of a selection of my most intimate acts.

Artist statement
Profound influences of pop culture and personal memories are the two main themes driving this project. DEADICATIONS is not concerned with the fashion of any particular realm of popular culture so much as with a particular group of individuals who were instrumental in defining the essence of what popular culture was about at a particular time. DEADICATIONS takes its inspiration from a handful of individuals whose life on earth was spent dedicated to the same things I believe in. I was profoundly affected by the dedication of these selected individuals, expressed through their chosen lifestyles and the messages they communicated -- whether through the lyrics they professed, their various art forms, or the statements made through life altering actions. All were motivated, inspired by or had no choice but to act with all they had, which in some cases was their life.
