International Festival is a project initiated between architecture and performance presenting work in several cultural contexts. International Festival is all you could ever want it to be. More the real thing than Coke, a just done it in relation to Nike, it is free your mind and the rest will follow. It is music in your mouth and disturbingly healthy.
International Festival is a long-term project, emphasizing potentiality and performance of space and relations. International Festival brings in context-specific projects, challenging social conventions and ways of communication through methods of filling in, shifting via oblique perspectives and ontologies of exchange. International Festival dislocates performance from its dialectical dispositif in order to produce possibilities for multiplicity of production and performance where the spectator become activated.
International Festival is an open frame, or label, that stimulate and engages in very different projects, all in order to avoid the establishment of a recognizable practice. Their projects are constructed and realized in the blurry zones between aesthetics and utility, object and activation, advertisement and activism, architecture and performance. International Festival challenge in their work our understanding of private and public, and its relation to identity production and knowledge.
