Saint - Petersburg,  RUSSIA 

Four festivals are over. There are participated about 120 authors. Some imagination about activity of participants you may get here. Some links following at this site but some directly to home page of artist. As you know it's always some obstacles on artist's way, and we should be ready for it and even more >>> to take it over!!! We make all for it and every time we do more and more only for one general force - to make ART.

Analysis of 4 previous festivals reveal the difficulties which we face the action to manage these events.
In particular, a main weak point is a financing the event.
Supporting from town structures we do not wait, twice (in 2004 and 2005) we officially applied to town committee of Culture, and in both times officials thereof institutions refused us of financing.
Under these circumstances festival found output of a situation by itself. We found the spaces for undertaking the festival without rental (the clubs - "ECO", "Platform", "Manhattan"), and enourmous it thank to them. But, space of club and infrastructure of such institutions certainly do not correspond to ‘format’ of festival, and presented material of artists - installations, performance, action was not always demonstrated a full-function.
A real financial support to festival nobody make and did not render, though some companies and institutions in particular gave PC and some equipment (they are submitted at the “Link page".
This is a reason what participants need to collect fee for issue the catalogue of festival.

What’s about participants?, a "level" of quality was not always correspond to the top of art.
Certainly, Christo, worldwide known artist, favorable to festival (and we propagandize his activity).

The Festival open for all, but this does not mean what author may present any material - the committee follows our own criterion and understanding the contemporary art.
Previous festivals had not titles, now, for each following festival will have directivity.
