FIX 23

We have been busy working on a brand new publication to celebrate and commemorate FIX 23, our biennial of performance and live art founded by Catalyst Arts in 1994.

FIX23 encompassed/presented/platformed/welcomed/invited/admired... live broadcasting into Joy’s Entry; physical transformation in Cornmarket; pin pricks; ice melting; sonic exploration; a two-day-long occupation of Portview Trade Centre in which over 20 artists inhabited the second floor of the mill in East Belfast; etched plastic; wool threads; robots; hecklers; preaching; noise; community; beer; tomato soup; mulled wine... tea;

fire; your dads suit; words; photographs; a human doorstop; foam and rope; coffee; prawn sandwiches; a punching bag and Kafka; archival(ish) advertisements; collectivity.

FIX23 crept beyond architectural confines and existed outside of ashlar parameters, inhabiting third spaces, online situations, and cellular landscapes. FIX23 existed as a provocation for bodies in spaces; for ourselves and for those familiar; FIX-philes, and for those merely passing-by or stumbling upon FIX’s output.
