SEXE! art action is a co-presentation by articule, diffusion système minuit du québec and CKUT, presenting the first edition of the International Sex Festivals (ISF), an annual event dedicated to the exploration of the various dimensions of sexuality through performance art, manœuvres, and new artistic practices. This first edition of the ISF is part of the initiative Viva! Art Action, an event organized by five Montreal artist-run centres (Clark, DARE-DARE, La Centrale, SKOL and articule), aiming to promote live art and its diversity to a broader audience. We are pleased to join this initiative with a varied and challenging program, featuring a dozen artists from here and abroad. SEXE! art action includes an evening of performances and manœuvres, presentations of audio, video and radio works and documentation, as well as workmagasins and a discussion on sexuality-related themes. These will range from identity to desire, including relationships to the body, to others, to norms, to power. Leave your inhibitions at the door!
