[-empyre-] Introducing Artists-in-residence Janice Perry and Fred McVittie

[Renate Ferro]

While Lorna is offline I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce the
artists-in-residence,
Fred McVittie and Janice Perry. Fred may also be offline for a few more
hours as he is coming to us from the UK as well.
I have invited both Fred and Janice to talk a little about their own
practices and also to explain to us how they see their process fitting into
the Making Sense Colloquium.

Janice Perry (USA)

Performance artist Janice Perry tours internationally with her

solo stage work. She’s received multiple grants and fellowships for

live performance, teaching, and visual art from the Fulbright

Commission/US Department of State, the Vermont Arts Council and the

NEA, and others. Perry has led groups of emerging and established

artists in creating new multi-media work in the USA, Europe and South

Africa. Her work has been adapted for radio, television and print,

screened at film festivals, and exhibited in the USA and Europe. Perry

teaches interdisciplinary theatre courses at the University of Vermont

and holds an MFA-IA from Goddard College. Being Derrida was a

semi-finalist in the (USA) National Portrait Gallery/Smithsonian

Institution’s 2009 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. See also

Fred McVittie (UK)

Fred McVittie is an artist and educator currently based in the Performance
department of University College Falmouth.  His background is in performance
and experimental theatre, having worked with companies such as Forced
Entertainment, Manact, and Pants Performance Association.  More recently his
work has been in social media, particularly blogging and video sharing,
looking at these media as both sites for performative engagement and as
tools which allow for the redefinition of concepts such as knowledge and
art.**
