Neoist art festival seeking to totally break down the wall between
artist and
spectator, artistic and non-artistic activity, etc. It consists of a group of Neoists (and their fans) holing up in an
apartment for week, living together, doing chores around the apartment, staging
conferences and
performances both inside and outside the apartment, partying, and so on.
Video and
audio records are often kept of these intreguing events.
It seems obvious to me that this kind of event could only take place in an apartment, or other living space: a hotel, or more conventional convention site would lessen the opportunities for social interaction (it's hard to put someone on the usual "artist" pedestal if you've helped them wash dishes)...What happens, apparently, is that each of the "performers" has a 2-3 hour period in which whatever they do is art, and is viewed as such. This opens up many, many possibilities...
