Our fundamental rationale here is to sketch a map of contexts conducive to thinking about the contemporary festival as one of the crucial contemporary art institutions. The book contains texts drawn from a variety of sources: manifestos, scripts, programme materials, interviews. All the texts were conceived by outstanding practitioners, curators, artists, and researchers analysing and critiquing the mechanisms of art production and reception from diverse points of view.

The festival will be held on April 15-22, Among the artists will perform Bill Evans in the premiere project Petite Blonde II, Kutiman Orchestra, Marc Ribot Ceramic Dog and many more!
