In discussing the concept of the festival, turned out that most of potential participants – artists, musicians, poets, dancers – does not include their creativity in contemporary art , but at the same does not work in the mainstream of some strictly established artistic tradition. Therefore, it is a new art, where for them are relevant search and self-determination. The basic unit of the new art is not the author or his works, but the event in which the spectator becomes an accomplice of art process and can buy a completely new experience of perception, expand the range of acceptable artistic activities. Festival also opens perspectives for improvisation and interaction, the emergence of new creative collaborations.
Organizers and main participants came to the conclusion that the theme of the festival should be "The boundaries". Preliminary concept of the festival is:
"In the modern city, in the modern world is too many things – much more than you can perceive, understand, and even more so – understand. The man is surrounded by the events, other people, things, information, images, dangers and opportunities. And all they are trying to engage human into interaction with them, ask him the rules, use and constrain. Where is the man himself, his will? Are the boundaries and limitations of the situation in which a person is, the boundaries of the man himself – those which are peculiar to him, , and more than anyone else ? Are we doing always what we want , and need to do, or simply drawning into another process, performing the others tasks? Where is it – your own? Your own real life.
At the festival of new art "1", participants get into a difficult situation, where in one space different people will take different actions – musical, artistic, dance, poetry. Sometimes these actions will occur simultaneously. Also here, the audience will be. Could participant to maintain the boundaries of his idea? Will he break the boundaries, and, most importantly, whose? Where the boundaries of a new art show up, what will it be? All this will be clear in the course of the festival. "
To become a member of the festival, you must invent your event (presentation, mini-exhibition, video screenings, performance, and so on ) associated with the theme of boundaries, and discuss it with the organizers. Coordination is carried out through the group in the social network "VKontakte". http://vk.com/onetomsk
