The 1st International Festival of Light and Street is held in Makarska from November 9th to November 11th 2017. Festival was established with a mission of bringing content in the void of alternative culture life; of connecting local and foreign artists; of promotion of avantgarde and experimental art, and ethical and ecological life principles. It is organized by open art collective Makarska Avantgarde, that explores alternative forms of micropolitics, microeconomics and independent development of cultural and artistic creativity.
During the three-days Festival of Light and Street Makarska Avantgarde presents new performing and visual artists, researching on performing potential of public space by using light, projection, music, theater, dance, performance, circus and other performing and visual forms. The initiative has a developmental, educational and non-profitable character. In addition to the festival repertoire, program brings series of art and craft workshops, presentations, open tables and public discussions held by international artists and activists. Artists and activists participating at the first edition of the festival are coming from Croatia, Germany, Spain, Russia and Argentina. Visual artist Grit Reiss from Mainz documents traces of human intervention and design processes in urban space, researching on the ways the image characteristics of digital media influence the visual perception of reality. In the video 'IN AND OUT' she uses fragments of historical parquet floor that was removed from the school gym 'Ernst-Grube' in Leipzig, which the artist had attended from 1989 to 1991. From August 2015 to February 2016 the gym was used as a refugee camp. After an extensive renovation it was returned to the school. 'IN AND OUT' captures these transformational phases. Catalan performing and visual artists and activists Jordina Ros and Pere Estadella share participative performance 'TERRA' which calls for an imperative need to connect with the earth. 'TERRA' stands for their disapproval of planet abuse, where as the only culprit among living beings they see a human who needs to be returned to himself, in order for other species to survive and for elements to restore the balance. Siberian experimental jazz pianist, free improvisor and composer Roman Stolyar, the author of the first Russian book on learning free improvisation ('Modern improvisation: Practical guide for piano'), the founder of JZ Improvising Orchestra, first big collective of free improvisation in China, the member of advisory committee of International Society for Improvised Music and Russian Composers Union, and musical director of Novosibirsk Academic Theater Globe, will hold a participatory concert and interactive sound action 'INSTANT CHOIR OF VOULENTEERS', in which every person, musician or non-musician, can participate. The 'INSTANT CHOIR OF VOULENTEERS' emerges at the cutting edge of workshop and performance, representing a group play that reveals what hides under terms 'serious', 'avantgarde', or 'advanced' music, using the power of collective creativity in creating and organizing sounds. The project goal is to erase barriers between performers and listeners, to destroy common prejudice against 'complexity' and 'elitism', of contemporary music, to open the hidden creative powers within every participant of the action, and, finally, to prove the productiveness of the leaderless approach to the collective creativity in music. Argentian circus artist, musician and technician for organic agriculture Ezequiel Matias Luger Medrano will present his first circus solo performance 'SIDE BEARD AND THE PIRATES OF THE NEW WORLD', in which he is looking for members of his bend in the sea of cement, teaching us how not all treasure is gold. Matias will furthermore hold a juggling workshop on three methods of ball manipulation. Russian painter, animator and video artist Olga Guse will present her work with three short experimental videos based on her paintings: 'EXOTICS', 'OTHERS' and 'BABYLON WHAT THEN', where she critically reflects visually and morally congested society of spectacle. Interdisciplinary performing artist Martina Kartelo from Split, is holding an experimental workshop of EMOTIONAL ECOLOGY, that deals with finding the inner light by activating emotional conciseness, while using theater, holistic and physical methodology. The workshop presentation will be in the form of street installation. Performing group Freaquency from Zagreb presents a happening about activism 'FREAQUENCY 2018', opening up the space for important life questions, of which perhaps the most important at the moment is the fact that for more then last 4000 years there wasn't a day on Earth without a war. The question is 'Why?' and 'If everybody would listen to you, what would you tell them?'. Next to daily round talks with artists, there will be an open public discussion on the last night of the festival, on the topics of veganism, ecology and recycling. As 'Veganism in Community' is the first festival's theme, vegan snacks will be presented and an open school of vegan kitchen will be held, introducing the work of world peace collective FoodNotBombs. 'The revolution starts – when artists stop being cowardice and speak up out loud, while you are silent, citizens!' Vladimir V. Majakovski, 1909. The Avantgarde Festival of Light and Street was established in 2018. Makarska Avantgarde is a non-profit, non-governmental performing program organized by art organization for performing identity Freaquency. The program is supported by City of Makarska and Split-Dalmatia County. Prvi međunarodni Festival svjetla i uličnih umjetnika održava se od 9. do 11. studenog 2018. u Makarskoj. Pokrenut je s ciljem popunjavanja praznine u alternativnom kulturnom životu grada, povezivanja lokalnih i stranih umjetnika, promocije eksperimentalne i avangardne umjetnosti te etičkih i ekoloških životnih načela. Nastaje u organizaciji Makarske Avangarde, otvorenog umjetničkog kolektiva koji istražuje alternativne oblike mikropolitika, mikroekonomija i samostalnog razvoja kulturno-umjetničkog stvaralaštva lokalne zajednice. Tokom trodnevnog Festivala svjetla i uličnih umjetnika Makarska Avangarda predstavlja nove izvedbene i vizualne umjetnike koji istražuju izvedbeni potencijal javnog prostora putem svjetla, projekcija, glazbe, teatra, plesa, performansa, cirkusa te ostalih izvedbenih i vizualnih formi. Program je razvojno-edukativnog i neprofitnog karaktera te uz festivalski repertoar, uključuje nekoliko izvedbenih radionica, prezentacija i tribina za mlade i odrasle, koje vode profesionalni, domaći i strani, umjetnici/e i aktivisti/ce. Na prvom izdanju festivala sudjeluju umjetnici i aktivisti iz Hrvatske, Njemačke, Španjolske, Rusije i Argentine. Vizualna umjetnica Grit Reiss iz Mainza dokumentira tragove ljudske intervencije i dizajnerskih procesa u urbanom prostoru, istražujući na koji način karakteristike slike digitalnih medija utječu na vizualnu percepciju stvarnosti. U video radu 'IN AND OUT' koristi fragmente povijesnog parketnog poda koji je izvađen iz školske dvorane Ernst-Grube u Leipzigu, koju je umjetnica pohađala od 1989. do 1991. Od kolovoza 2015. do veljače 2016. dvorana je korištena kao privremeni izbjeglički kamp te je vraćena školi nakon ekstenzivne renovacije. 'IN AND OUT' bilježi transformacijske faze dvoranskog poda. Katalonski izvedbeni i vizualni umjetnici Jordina Ros i Pere Estadella izvode participativni performans 'TERRA' koji upozorava na neophodnu potrebu povezivanja sa zemljom. 'TERRA' izražava njihovo neslaganje sa zlostavljanjem planete, gdje jedinog krivca među živim bićima pronalaze u čovjeku kojeg je potrebno vratiti samome sebi, ne bi li ostale vrste preživjele, a elementi se vratili u ravnotežu. Sibirski eksperimentalni jazz pijanist, improvizator i skladatelj Roman Stolyar, autor prve ruske knjige o učenju slobodne improvizacije ('Moderna improvizacija: Praktičan vodič za klavir'), osnivač JZ Improvising Orchestra, prvog velikog kolektiva slobodne improvizacije u Kini, član savjetodavnog odbora Međunarodnog društva za improviziranu glazbu i Ruske unije kompozitora te glazbeni ravnatelj Novosibirsk Academic Theater Globe, održat će participativni koncert te interaktivni zvukovni projekt 'INSTANT ZBOR VOLONTERA' u kojem svi mogu sudjelovati, bez obzira na sposobnost glazbene reprodukcije. 'INSTANT ZBOR VOLONTERA' nastaje na granici performansa i radionice te predstavlja grupnu igru zvukovima koja otkriva što se skriva pod terminima 'ozbiljne', 'avangardne' i 'napredne' glazbe, koristeći moć kolektivnog stvaralaštva u stvaranju i organiziranju zvukova. Cilj projekta je izbrisati granice između izvođača i slušatelja te dokazati produktivnost nehijerarhijskog pristupa kolektivnom stvaralaštvu u glazbi. Argentinski cirkuski umjetnik, glazbenik i tehničar za organsku poljoprivredu Ezequiel Matias Luger Medrano predstavit će svoj prvi cirkuski performans 'STRANA BRADA I GUSARI NOVOG SVIJETA', u kojem traži članove svog benda u moru cementa, učeći nas kako nije svako blago zlato. Također će održati radionicu žongliranja u kojem će predstaviti tri metode manipuliranja loptom. Ruska slikarica, animatorica i video umjetnica Olga Guse predstavit će se s tri kratka eksperimentalna videa bazirana na njenim slikama: 'EGZOTIKE', 'DRUGI' i 'BABILON ŠTO ONDA', u kojima kritički reflektira vizualno i moralno zagušenu svakodnevnicu društva spektakla. Interdisciplinarna izvedbena umjetnica Martina Kartelo iz Splita vodi eksperimentalnu radionicu EMOCIONALNE EKOLOGIJE, koja radi na otkrivanju unutrašnjeg svjetla putem aktiviranja svjesnosti emocija, a koristeći kazališne, holističke i fizičke metode. Radionica će biti prezentirana u obliku ulične instalacije. Izvedbena grupa Freakvencija iz Zagreba predstavit će se happeningom o aktivizmu 'FREAKVENCIJA 2018' u kojem otvara prostor za važna životna pitanja od kojih je možda najvažnije to da posljednjih 4000 godina nije bilo dana na Zemlji bez rata. Pitanje glasi 'Zašto' i 'Kad bi vas svi poslušali, što biste im rekli?'. Pored dnevnih okruglih stolova s umjetnicima, zadnjeg dana festivala održava se javna tribina na temu veganstva, ekologije i recikliranja u zajednici. Kako je prva festivalska tema Veganstvo u zajednici, bit će predstavljena veganska zakuska te održana otvorena škola veganske kuhinje koja će predstaviti rad svjetskog kolektiva FoodNotBombs. 'Revolucija počinje – kad umjetnici prestanu biti kukavice i progovore na sav glas, dok vi šutite, građani!' Vladimir V. Majakovski, 1909. Festival svjetla i uličnih umjetnika organizira Makarska Avangarda u sklopu neprofitnog izvedbenog programa koji provodi umjetnička udruga za izvedbu identiteta Freakvencija. Program su podržali Grad Makarska i Splitsko-dalmatinska županija.
