Part of the Trashing Performance programme – the second year of Performance Matters – 25-29th October 2011.

Attempts to build a bridge between different disciplines and the traditions and stories of the past.

A book-film – text with DVD. NOTE: text is in French, DVD in both English and French.

Programme notes:‘Let’s get this straight folks, Bull: The True Story was a pack of lies, a cover up, it was a performance set up to upstage the truth.’ The Making of Bull: The True Story unravels mysteries…including the mysteries of why we make art and how our art makes us. It questions what’s real and what’s fake. Inspired by the film Fargo, which proclaims in its prologue, ‘This is a true story’, Hawaii-born Makishi finally comes out and tells the whole truth as she brings forth an elliptical tale trying hard not to tell itself. Just what is she hiding? You’ll have to see it to believe it. Stacy Makishi is a Chelsea Theatre Associate Artist. Preceded by a short performance by an early career artist on the bar stage. Post show Q&A with the artist. This item is part of the Study Room Guide On shit, piss, blood, sweat and tears by Lois Keidan (P2195)

Dead Season Live Art, 2010, Margate, Limbo Arts.See P1496 for full Dead Season Live Art programme.This documentation has since been presented with the permission of the artist as part of the Performance Matters, Performing Idea, Performance Lecture Archive; an interactive video archive housed at the Whitechapel Gallery between 2-9 October 2010. The archive looked at examples of the performance lecture as a form of artistic and critical expression and its potential to address a broad range of cultural issues and philosophical ideas.

This book is exactly 25,000 words long which corresponds to the 25,000 metres or strokes the artist swam during the month her Mother was dying.

Residing somewhere between fiction and documentary, the film shows firefighters practising their skills on a tall purpose built house in a fire station.
