Newsletter 1/2019
ANTI Festival thanks Kone Foundation for supporting our new initiative Shortlist LIVE! event 2019-2022!
Shortlist LIVE! is a completely new and unique entity of events which adds to the visibility of the shortlisted artists of ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art, cultivates discussion about the live art field and helps to deconstruct the meanings and values live art has for individuals and communities. In 2019-2022 the pieces of shortlisted artists will be performed live during ANTI – contemporary Art Festival, to which ANTI Festival will invite a range of international curators and festival programmers. ANTI will also produce a publication about the work of the shortlisted artist edited by the field’s professionals and researchers.
The event, built around The ANTI Festival International Prize for Live
Art, will gather together the very best of the live art field: The
shortlisted artists who currently represent internationally the most
interesting live art in its various forms. Shortlist LIVE! Will offer
their pieces to the public in the spirit of ANTI Festival – in the
public spaces of Kuopio and without an entrance fee.
ANTI Festival 2019
ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival will return to the public spaces of Kuopio with a new programme in 10-15 September 2019.
