Deadline: 1 April 2016
Call for entries
Unnoticedartfestival #2
June 24/25 2016 the 222lodge will organise a second festival for Unnoticed Live Art in an undisclosed Dutch city.
The Unnoticed Art Festival balances on the line between public and private. It shows artworks hiding in normality. The language, used to express the works, fits in the average social behaviour in public space and, because of that, remained unnoticed to bystanders.
Creating the concepts and executing the works are split. Artists send their concepts more or less as manuals. In the festival the chosen works will be carried out by a group of (both experienced and unexperienced) volunteers.
The volunteers have a double roll. They are participants as well as audience. They are responsible for realising the performances in the best possible way and, doing that, they fully experience the works. In fact they become part of it. The public is not excluded in this way but it is actually embedded.
The location of the f estival remains a secret. That way the passers-by are accidental and without knowledge of the occasion. They are unaware.
They have their own aims, their own occupations, their own thoughts.
Please notice: we only need concepts for (unnoticed) performative works public space!
You are very welcome to send your concept to 2ndfestival@unnoticedart.com.
The (extended) deadline is 1st of April 2016.
