Dariusz FODCZUK(Poland)
达瑞乌什·福德楚克(波兰)
Dariusz Fodczuk (born 1966, Poland) – visual artist, performer. A graduate of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin and the University of the Arts in Poznań. His work focuses on the status of art, particularly sculpture and performance. His projects examine the relationships between the creator, the audience, and the artwork, redefining their mutual dependencies. These explorations are reflected in performance cycles such as Gra as well as in the long-term cycle Sleeping and Lying Down, based on shared physical presence and intimacy. Many of his works are autobiographical, drawing on the life stories of his mother and father, and exploring intergenerational memory as part of the performative process.
From 2020 to 2024, he served as Dean of the Faculty of Media Arts, Photography, and Experimental Film at the Academy of Art in Szczecin. Since 2016, he has co-led the Studio of Audiovisual and Performative Actions with Kamil Kuskowski. He has participated in over 200 festivals and group exhibitions and more than 40 solo shows across Poland, Europe, North America, and Asia.
“I identify as an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of performance, sculpture, speculative design, and new media. I focus on questions of freedom and dignity; for many years, I have pursued performance-based work grounded in an original program of resisting institutional and artistic control. Theoretically, my practice is underpinned by inquiries into the spectator’s role as the locus where meanings are updated and generated.”

Deej FABYC (Australia&United Kingdom）
迪姬·法比克(澳大利亚&英国)
Deej Fabyc, a performance artist working at the intersection of trauma, embodiment, and social transformation. As Executive Director of Live Art Ireland – Elain Bheo Centre for Art Research and Development at Milford House since 2020, she champions experimental live art practices that challenge conventional boundaries. Through Live Art Ireland, she fosters a research hub where artists can take creative risks and explore urgent contemporary questions. The organisation supports uncomfortable, necessary, transformative work that refuses traditional frameworks. The Centre serves as both laboratory and sanctuary for radical art practices, hosting international collaborations and providing residencies that extend artistic possibilities. Her practice centers on “wicked embodied mapping” of narratives around awkwardness, neurodiversity, aging, loss, mental health, and chronic illness. In early 2024, she formed CERBERUS, a performance collective with Rachel MacManus and Olivia Hassett. Drawing on Greek mythology, they position themselves as gatekeepers between worlds – “three individuals who join as one, bound together as three heads representing loyalty and vigilance, remarkable strength and ferocity”. Their recent work H(u)RT addressed women’s health issues, specifically the government’s mishandling of the HRT medication rollout.
Her current projects include Portach Promenade, a collaborative grief walk in a bog currently in production as a feature-length art film, and performances at venues from the 1927 Gallery Athens to Rua Red Gallery Dublin through the Rerooting Tallaght festival. Her international career spans museums, nightclubs, and streets since the 1980s, including collaborations with Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens at Documenta in Athens and Kassel. Recent performances include the Highlanes Gallery Drogheda with Bbeyond in 2022 and ‘How do I look’ with GraceGraceGrace at Guest Projects London. She has held residencies at Artsadmin London, Dartington School of Art Devon, Cite Internationale des Arts Paris, and A Space Gallery Southampton. Significant performances include Details at L’abracada Festival International d’Art Contemporani, Castell de la Bisbal, Spain 2006; And She Watched at Trace Installation Artspace Cardiff 2005 and Kingsgate Gallery London 2004; and Don’t Call it Performance at Centro de Arte Reina Sofía Madrid and Centro Parraga Murcia, Spain 2003.
As a founding member of feminist collectives including JILLPOSTERS and current Chair of FBI artist network, she works to create infrastructure for marginalized practices. Now based in Tipperary and working full-time as Director of Live Art Ireland, she continues asking: How can art create space for experiences that have been marginalized? Through her dedicated focus on Live Art Ireland and her performance practice, institutional leadership and radical art-making inform and sustain each other.

Frances MEZZETTI (Ireland）
弗朗西丝·梅泽蒂(爱尔兰)
Frances Mezzetti is a full-time visual artist based in Dublin, Ireland, and a graduate of the National College of Art & Design. With over twenty-seven years of experience in visual art and movement practices, her work spans performance art, site-specific installations, film, and vocal soundings. Her socially engaged practice involves working with communities and schools across Dublin City, drawing on personal and collective stories to create works rooted in lived experience. Ritual storytelling and a deep connection to movement in nature form the basis of her ongoing research and creative exploration. Collaboration with diverse artists and communities continues to play a vital role in expanding her artistic expression. Frances is a member of Live Art Ireland and has participated in numerous events and performances with the group. From 2009 to 2024, she co-created the long- running performance series Walking in the Way with Pauline Cummins, with performances in Scotland, London, Madrid, Seville, Istanbul, Malaga, and various cities throughout Ireland, North and South. The project culminated in a gallery tour and the publication of the book Walking in the Way: Performing Masculinity – Cummins & Mezzetti (walkingintheway.net). Between 2008 and 2015, she was a member of the Performance Collective, an innovative live art initiative that produced performances across the island of Ireland. Notably, she participated in fourteen consecutive days of durational performances at the Galway Arts Festival in 2012. Her work and contributions are featured in Performance Art in Ireland: A History, edited by Dr. Áine Phillips (2015). Other notable collaborations include performances with Bbeyond Northern Ireland and international projects such as Transaction 11 with Mobius in Boston, USA (2018). From 2017 to 2022, she worked on a five-year collaborative project with artist and filmmaker Joyce Garvey, exploring the life of Lucia Joyce—contemporary dancer and daughter of James Joyce—through residencies, performances, and films in France, Switzerland, and Italy, culminating at the James Joyce Summer School in Trieste in 2022. Most recently, Frances completed an experimental analogue film collaboration with Juana Robles in 2025, available to view here. Her work is supported by The Arts Council of Ireland, Culture Ireland, Dublin City Council, Age and Opportunity Bealtaine Festival, Bbeyond, and the pilot project BIA (Basic Income for Artists).

Joseph BAAN (Netherlands & Switzerland)
约瑟夫·班(瑞士&荷兰)
Joseph Baan is an artist and educator. Their practice engages in art, education and collaboration as ways to forge creative survival.
They’re interested in the complexity of collectivity and in the possibility of establishing a solidarity that does not homogenise, but affirms difference. They make performances, installations, texts, group works, collaborative formats, and scores that aim to unpack the problem of relating, shifting roles and readings of power and control in relation to affect and gestures of care. They see performance as a way to become receptive to one’s own alterity when relating to others, offering the possibility to have embodied experiences that one does not identify with. Joseph is currently engaged in a PhD research at the Zürich University of the Arts and Mozarteum in Salzburg that investigates the political currency of incoherence and performative strategies of ambiguity, dissociation, and confusion, asking what aspects of performance might angle towards liberatory or non-sovereign politics and possibly negotiate or abolish the constraints one is born into.
Joseph’s practice is closely linked to their work as an educator, which is influenced by experimental and radical pedagogies and non-hierarchical collaborative methods. They are a founding member of Rotterdam-based research group SOHERE; a community of practitioners working in the fields of art, design and science who develop collaborative, horizontal learning environments. From 2019-2022 they co-ran Zurich based School of Commons; a grassroots initiative dedicated to the study and development of decentered knowledge, with a focus on practices of peer learning and commoning. They teach critical theory and performance at the Chair of the History of Art and Architecture at the ETH in Zurich.

Juyoung PARK (South Korea）
朴珠泳(韩国)
Based in Seoul, Park Juyoung adapts to the times with the development of various communication technologies, ranging from brushtalk to text messages on social media and voice-to-text apps, and uses these to communicate and work in her studio. Starting with questions about “communication,” she has shifted to the subjects of “voice” and “language” and their invisible nature, and is expanding her practice in various media, including drawing, performance, and installation.
Park Juyoung wears a cochlear implant to communicate with society. At the end of her day, Park removes her prosthetic device and enters a life of soundless darkness. In this way, she questions her identity, constantly moving back and forth between sound and soundlessness.
Park’s works are about seeing sound through visualization. Starting from her early performance piece, Confess to Me (2003), her oeuvre has primarily dealt with sound and communication, including the work Do You Hear (2015), Reading Scripture to a Cow’s Ear (2019), Understanding What Others Say (2021), and Sound Shapes (2023). Specifically, these include: making drawings on paper and tearing them up, urging viewers to write letters on her body as she communicates with them, and pasting stickers on bodies after listening to a sound. Park investigates the voice’s linkage to the body and unfolds the resulting interactions in mass, color, and form.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, she became interested in the “unattended voices” in areas such as society, politics, and disease, and concluded that, in life, soundlessness was the same as nonexistence. In her works, the objects move toward where the body is pointing, and the phenomena resulting from tactility become physical variations in nature. Just as life is imperfect, Park’s attempts remain unfinished. Every process in her studio practice is achieved by undergoing failure, and through these processes, Park bears responsibility for her self-identity.

Lisa HINTERREITHNER (Austria）
丽萨·因特莱特纳(奥地利)
Lisa Hinterreithner is a performance artist, who lives in Vienna, Austria. In her works she intertwines bodies and materials and is on the lookout for experimental performance formats that address humans and more than humans likewise. She often invites the audience, performers and objects to be part of a joint performative process. Recently, she has explored touch and touchability, specifically between plants and humans. Lisa Hinterreithner’s performances have been shown among others, at Tanzquartier Wien, donaufestival Krems, ImPulsTanz – Vienn.

Luc HÄFLIGER (Switzerland)
吕西·哈夫利格(瑞士)
Luc Häfliger(they/them) is a Zurich-based composer, performer, and sound artist.
Their practice revolves around the question of how we can recode space through sonic experience. Through the lens of noise, they explore sonic and performative states in which the boundaries between control and ecstasy become fluid. Their works seamlessly weave together composition and improvisation. They are a founding member of Doxa Shroti, a collective that organizes monthly guerrilla concerts in underpasses—acts of listening and community-building within Zurich’s experimental music scene.
As a collaborator, Häfliger regularly performs and composes alongside Joseph Baan, maintaining an ongoing dialogue with Baan’s performance and visual arts practice. They also work closely with Margaretha Jüngling, creating sonic environments for her multisensory performances.
Häfliger’s work has been presented in both national and international contexts, including les Urbaines, Drifts Festival Helsinki, Kunsthalle Zürich, Kunsthalle Baselland, Tanzhaus Zürich, ZKM Karlsruhe, LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, and various performances in Yogyakarta and Taipei.

He was one of the recipients of the PRIX DE ROME Art & Theatre. Baren’s multimedia practice includes both site-specific and public performances. He uses video both for documenting these performances and to create works which are more medium-specific examinations revolving around the history of mankind, cultural objects and public spaces. Many of Baren’s pieces revolve around the notion of ritual and the way it functions in various socio-cultural contexts.
The UP-ON performance THE GIFT [HIGHER GOALS] is part of the ongoing series BLIND DATES WITH THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, as a multi-sensory work, searches for a common ground between sensual bewilderment and operational suffering, challenging the constructed nature of our ideas on mindfulness, memory and territories.

Yoshiya YOSHIMITSU (Japan）
好光义也(日本)
Performance artist. Born in Shiga Prefecture in 1994. Graduated from the Department of Aesthetics and Art Studies, Faculty of Letters, Doshisha University in 2019. Completed the Master’s Program in Fine Arts, Department of Intermedia Art, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2022. Major exhibitions include “Something Uncertain Emerging from the Body” (Mikke Gallery, Tokyo, 2025, two-person exhibition with Tong Wenmin) and “Object Theater | Yoshiya Yoshimitsu” (The 5th Floor, Tokyo, 2023). Major performances include “To Chiyo, to Ms. Yachiyo” (I’m Here Project, YPAM 2022 Fringe, Yokohama, 2022) and “#Accompaniment” (Altitude Training Studio SORELA, Art Rhizome Kyoto 2023, Kyoto,2023). In addition to his own works, he collaborates, performs, and assists with other artists both in Japan and abroad, including Hirotaka Fukui (Kyoto), Dick El Demasiado (Netherlands), and Iannis Zannos (Greece).
Yoshimitsu creates works using a variety of media, including theater, dance, puppetry, singing and instrumental performance, video, drawing, and collage. By placing his own body and expression between the audience and objects or information, he emphasizes their textures and sense of dissonance. While drawing on the unique qualities of each medium, he expresses them with humor and deliberate artificiality, thereby prompting the audience to become aware of the characteristics and components of each medium. He is interested in the performative nature of everyday life and incorporates it into his works. Although his works often appear eccentric or bizarre, he does not seek to sharpen his attitude into extremity.
In Japanese, there are the words “Beta” and “Neta.” The former refers to a state of taking something entirely at face value, while the latter indicates a state of belief that carries performativity and includes a sense of artificiality. Yoshimitsu treats various media, subjects, and motifs as “Neta,” attempting to embed within his works a multiplicity of perspectives that cannot be reached through “Beta.”

东奴(西宁)
Artist-in-Research/Art Education Researcher/Curator/Designer
Born: 1973, Qinghai, China
Education: Department of Fine Arts, Qinghai Normal University
Profession: Educator“The work is like skin, peeling off layer by layer at any moment. Through this shedding, life retains its sense of renewal. In the blink of an eye, it becomes nothing more than a trace of the past… Living in a remote corner of a barren land, one deeply feels the constraints brought by delay and numbness. Yet, there remains a fragile thread of connection to the surging world; from here, one must move forward without hesitation—spending a lifetime to approach civilization.”

LI Duo (Hangzhou,China)
李多(杭州)
Li Duo lives and works in Hangzhou.
She is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance, theater, video, installation, and sound.
Li Duo approaches the body as a sensory interface that penetrates the structures of reality. Through dynamic actions embedded in established orders, she transforms herself into a fluid variable. Her practice focuses on the sense of position and marginality of the individual within collective structures, exploring the logic of play and the distribution of power within mechanisms of interaction.
Using methods of persistence and low-energy intervention, she leaves temperature-like traces in everyday public space. These subtle disturbances act as resonant devices that reflect hidden social structures, prompting renewed reflections on the relations between body, community, and system.

Through cross-border creative forms, combining fashion and contemporary art, the conceptual creation process and emotions are presented. While observing the relationship between people in real life, conceptual art is injected into it; the artist is just a shell, the work is the interesting soul.

In the field of performance philosophy, he is particularly interested in how performance can generate the same level of critical power as philosophical thinking, with a special focus on the interaction between performance and political philosophy. In the context of the Global South, he examines cultural performances as social movements within Asia and their inter-Asian networks, considering their potential in shaping the public sphere. His related works have been published in journals such as Drama, Theatre Arts, NJU Drama Review, and Asia-Pacific Studies, etc., with representative papers including The Contemporary Presentation of the Relationship between Human and Puppets, The Politics of Memory in Myanmar Performance Art, and The Theatrical Imagination of Anthropology, etc.

UP-ON向上国际现场艺术节的四点坚持
THE FOUR POINTS OF THE UP-ON INTERNATIONAL LIVE ART FESTIVAL
● 非营利 UNCOMMERCIALLY
艺术节无营利目的，工作团队除在艺术活动期间有与艺术家同等的补贴外，其余时间为无薪酬工作。艺术节结束后半月向社会公开财务账目。
● 国际化 INTERNATIONALIZATION
艺术节创办伊始就定位于国际化的专业交流平台。广泛邀请世界各地的艺术家参与，他们中既有从上世纪七十年代就从事现场艺术创作的前辈，也有充满冒险精神的新锐。
● 学术性 ACADEMICNATURE
艺术节努力邀请到国内外创作经验丰富的优秀艺术家参与，并促成近距离的专业性的学术交流和分享，对国际范围内现场艺术最前沿的课题展开对话和探讨。
● 公共性 PUBLICITY
艺术节期间，艺术家们除创作作品外，还会在一些艺术机构、社区和大学举办讲座、工作坊等多种形式的活动，促进和提升公众对现场艺术的认知。
作为非营利性质的专业活动，UP-ON向上国际现场艺术艺术节能举办到第十三届，得益于众多同道多年来的持续支持。这包括国内外艺术家的敬业创作，志愿者、工作组团队的倾力付出，业内人士的献计鞭策，众多合作机构从经费、场地、人员等多方面的资助，还少不了的是公众的积极参与。靠吃百家饭，纳百家福成长起来的UP-ON向上艺术节，自知要以如履薄冰的心态，以国际视野自我审视，不懈提升专业品质，方能不负大家的帮扶。来日方长，同道砥砺前行。
