note = "Commissioned by Professor Andre Stitt for Season V: {\textquoteleft}Close Encounters,{\textquoteright} A new work of performance-installation which opened with a 12 hour continuous performance. TRACE is an internationally recognised site for performance-orientated practice, (and is an artist run initiative and a non-profit independent artspace that places an emphasis on context in the working process - its aim being to support a wider discourse and dissemination at the intersections between artistic disciplines. It is also one of the few UK gallery spaces that specifically supports performance-orientated practices: artists such as Miriam Laplante, Stuart Brisley, Jimmie Durham, Jeffrey Byrd and Amanda Heng have all recently completed projects there.) 'The Hunting Dogs With Dear And The Heart Of Charles' incorporated among other elements, sheets of stage direction, drawings, made objects and film as well as performance: objects of installation / documentation (drawings, diagrams, notations, made and found objects) that were evidence of visual thinking. Performance work drew upon this index at the same time as it presented its subject - the violent topography of duration. The work was invoked by an actual event that was reported in the media, the murder of a teenage girl in Dalkeith (Scotland), and this was made explicit in the materials installed in the gallery. The work, however, was not the reconstruction of a setting, it instead reflected on this event, through diverse, and not always explicable creative acts. The work took the form of four interleaved parts (a 12 hour durational performance; stage direction from a play in text panels; drawings, made objects; and film). It focused on the political implications of beings in the same spaces: it was a meditation on self and community, as a performed belonging that explored contemporary forms of sociality.
