FESTIVAL
|
ANTI festival, Kuopio, Finland
Deadline : 20 February, 2006
ANTI is a forum for experimental, radical and non-commercial art. It offers an international and visible possibility to bring forward performances and ways of expression that are not considered mainstream art. The emphasis of ANTI festival is on environmental art, light, sound, installation, live art and performances. The Festival seeks to activate 12 previously selected sites / environments with the help of pieces of art. The pieces can take place directly in the proposed place or conceptually in- or outdoors. It is essential for the proposals to take into consideration the audience and customers that are already present at each location. Site-specificity is an extremely important factor when it comes to assessing and selecting momentary performances as well as sculptural works. In addition to the physical place the idea of the work can deal with the notion of space through people who work in that particular place or the values, actions or contemporary events that the place represents. The piece may also somehow combine various locations and themes. The artist(s) choose(s) a location for his/her/their piece from the ones proposed.
