FIX 04

FIX04 - the 6th edition of the biennial - can be seen in the context of similar festivals worldwide that reject the segregation of cultures or artistic forms according to dominant economies, be they of the marketplace or taste.

In addition to premiering performances by 15 artists from Northern Ireland and around the world, this edition, through the Performance Salon, will focus on consolidating FIX's history as the longest running event of its kind in the UK.

In FIX04, there is also a focus on providing an opportunity to engage with the artists in a series of artists panels in which they will make short presentations about their work. These events will take place in the transparent environment of a giant inflatable bubble.From performances that expose and play with the role of technology in culture - using sound techniques, video and web-cam elements - to low-tech, highly charged experiments with body and mind, to performances that radicalize an all too conditioned and exclusive social space, Catalyst Arts is thrilled to be bringing the work of these dynamic artists from home and overseas, to the public of Belfast and beyond.
