About the festival

A festival dedicated to music and sound projects
of visual artists

The Artists is a festival dedicated to music and sound projects and the visual arts, but taken outside the gallery’s interior space. The title brings to mind popular band names such as The Cars, The Beatles and The Doors, evoking associations with the star-studded world of pop music and the mechanisms that govern it. The programme of the festival includes a wide array of on-stage expression, ranging from punk, pop and rock, through folk to electronic, experimental, and noise music. The artists invited all regularly give concerts, record music and videos, take part in important international festivals, and have their music played on the radio.
