ACTION
FEST: “7 minutes or less” performances,
actions, short films, videos, objects of
text, readings, proclamations, comedy,
songs etc… by artists and intellectuals
over sixty and under thirty.
Within the
frame of two hours and in a theater, the
Anthology Film Archive, YANS & RETO
is an assembly of people engaged in
contemporary culture who, regardless of
their disciplines, have in common a
taste for radicalism and experimental
creation.
Inspired by
the social atmosphere of porno cinemas
and in the tradition of cabaret, YANS
& RETO is a
one-night festival of action art by
artists over sixty and under thirty. The
artists present themselves through short
(under seven minute) performance or
video pieces, creating energetic,
inter-generational encounters.
YANS &
RETO is a one-night festival where
artists and intellectuals get introduced
to each other by giving a taste of what
they do, either with short intense
pieces or with quiet interventions that
last for the whole two hours. Pieces
will be directed in a way that layers
intensity of each individual action to
create a single piece for the night.
YANS & RETO is against ferocious
nonsensical competition among artists.
Open Call
YANS AND RETO 2013 Money,
money, money….! A night to stand up and
bite the hands of your owner…. Nothing
is more brutal than money.
Early in the morning men
standing in the streets waiting to be
chosen to work that day, non-specialized
labor. Like them, artists wait to be
selected by art centers, by curators.
Dog fight, a ferocious
competition among artists. Caged in
their studios for days, the doors open,
a piece of meat is flying in the air…
artists jump, salute, dance none stop,
hoping to get something. Badly hurt dogs
have no energy to bite the hands of
their owners. I didn´t come to New York
to be a dog, neither you did. A
provocation to dogs, I walk around with
raw meat legs.
Be brutal as the situation;
please submit a proposal for a
performance, dance, theater piece, song,
or reading… No fee to submit. No promise
to take your piece. …I can give you
anything but hope…. performances that
deals in extreme ways with money and
work will be acepted
