[Nettime-bold] performance festival Navinki2001

["Denis Romanovski" <drom@anitex.by>]

The third performance festival Navinki2001 in Minsk (Belarus) starts
7.09.2001 at 12:00 at Museum for contemporary visual arts. Then it will
continue 16:00-20:00 at Pall Mall club and 8,9 September 12:00-20:00 at Pall
Mall club.
10 September will be open-air performances on the hills where the city was
situated at 9th century (10 km from our days Minsk suburbs).

Navinki performance festival takes place annually by the end of 1 decade of
September. The festival deals with nor theatrical, nor dance, nor dj's music
performances, nor political actions, but only with artistic performances. It
gathers interesting performers from different countries and (we hope) is
important not only for contemporary art life in Belarus.
Caused by state policy and regime games
many of  artists where refused with different ambages by Belarusian
consulates in giving them visas in terms of the festival. It looks that
arts/artists more dangerous for regime then hundreds of journalists and
observers from different countries, which are coming these days in
connection with president elections in the country.
We still consider these artists as participants, especially, some of them
proposed distanced or extended forms of their performances.
