Sniffy the Rat, 10 years on
Performance art, whose roots go back to the
beginning of the 20th century, is all around
us now, evident in everything from skateboarding culture to online gaming. LIVE, Vancouver's biennial celebration of performance
art, places this quixotic art form at centre
stage from now until Nov. 30 in a variety of
events. Participating galleries include Video
In, Gallery Gachet, Grunt, Helen Pitt Gallery,
Western Front, Or and others. Among the
dozens of performers are Gathie Falk, bill bissett, Judy Radul, Sheri-D Wilson, Michael
Turner and Glenn Lewis. One definite highlight will be the return of Sniffy the Rat, Vancouver's infamous 1991 art prank, Oct. 21
You can call (604) 875-9516 for more information or visit the biennial website at
