KLEBNIKOV CARNAVAL




When?

august 17 to august 24 2008


Where?
online and @
Provinciaal Domein Kessel-Lo,
Louvain, Belgium


What?

8 days of live lyricism

inspired by the works of Russian Modernist Poet Velemir Khlebnikov (1885-1922) ViLT and Grapes of Art now propose an annual participative festivity absolutely lacking any of the usual organisation. The only thing we know for sure is the date, the location and the name. The rest is mainly up to you.

What do we provide?
  • a terrain suitable for pick-nicking and summerly leasure
  • a small open-air amfitheater to perform (unplugged) for up to 100 people
  • some tents for shelter when it rains
  • a tent with a projection facility to show video an computer animation
  • an indoor gallery nearby to show material output from the source code ( see below)
  • Chlebnikov's Zangezi as source code plus a text written by Dirk Vekemans containing like the original, the source code for some 20 'Planes' that can be executed in every way imaginable. In fact 'The Path of the Weeping Night' is a present day patch or update of Chlebnikov's Zangezi
What do we want you to do?
  • submit anything (graphics, (literary) text, video, installations, choreographies, drawings, (visual) poetry in any language specifying the (textual) code from either a 'Plane' in Zangezi or one in The Path of the Weeping Night as inspiration/starting point/input of your creative proces to be shown at the festival

  • if you possible can get over there and join us in the fun
What do we have to offer you?
  • not much, everything is free, there's no sponsorship or anything, so we're only the gatekeepers during the time-frame. We're hoping that taking part in the carnaval is a good thing for those who do, that you get some stimuli from it and that things may grow accordingly.
Here's some pictures of the location with the open air theater
