WORK MORE - MORE WORK
At the Arcadia Festival Mads Lynnerup will be performing a text-based project, pushing a big wheel constructed out of plywood through the city of Ebersberg. The big wheel has two words “Work and More” written on the side of the wheel and depending on which side is up, it will either read “WORK MORE” or MORE WORK.”
The theme of the third Arcadia Festival is Brave New World, a nod to Aldous Huxley's novel of the same name, which depicts a dystopian future "as some see it as becoming more and more a reality," according to Kees. The war in Ukraine and its consequences, the development of totalitarian structures, newly emerging nationalism, rapidly growing capitalism, climate change, digitization, the polarisation of society: all of this has to be negotiated, explains the curator. The festival wants to offer an artistic forum for this.
