FIX 13
Tenth International Live Art Biennial

FIX 13 is the tenth installment of Europe’s longest running performance and live art biennial. Established in 1994, FIX has sought to bring together a dynamic and diverse range of local and international practitioners across a variety of city centre and site-specific locations.
Bringing together both emerging and established artists and performance collectives, FIX 13 will launch with an open platform event for all those wanting to be involved.
This is the most heavily programmed FIX to date, with over twenty performances across a two week period. FIX 13 is organised by Catalyst Arts and forms an integral part of their twentieth anniversary celebrations.

Food Fight #3 – Take a bite, take a voice
Sunday 15th September, 6pm
Food Fight #3 is the third part of a comical and sensual dinner. Also this time we invite the audience to become an essential part of the actions and to intervene at the table and beside. What ever happened during the dinner will have an influence. So take your chance and voice and find your way on the table.
