IS THERE MONEY TO WORK WITH ?

NO, there is no money (yet). Up until now, everything you’ve seen from KVADRENNALEN has been self-financed, which means everyone that has already worked to bring this idea in front of you has put in their time and money. KVADRENNALEN is artist-run in every sense of the word. It’s an ideological choice to stand up for ART, not a paid assignment – BUT if KVADRENNALEN finds money, then we’ll happily share it, because KVADRENNALEN is NOT set up to make money.

IS KVADRENNALEN LOOKING FOR MONEY? YES. And, so should you: decentralised ownership, KVADRENNALEN belongs to you, you run it with whatever possibilities you have… and there are many! As someone active in the art field, this is business as usual: we try to find money wherever we can, and if we don’t we do it anyway!

HOW WILL KVADRENNALEN SUCCEED ?

By showing that we are united.

HOW DO YOU SHOW THAT WE ARE UNITED?
By setting up the biggest, longest, group show, art festival, art program under one umbrella KVADRENNALEN. We flood the internet, the streets, the art spaces, the newspapers with KVADRENNALEN. Remember we are changing perceptions here. All of us are going to make art, show art, talk art, individually anyway,… and if we do that then we only show ‘individual’ initiatives. If we bring all those initiatives, across the whole nation, across all the disciplines under one single art quadrennial KVADRENNALEN then all the individual initiatives remain, but they are PERCEIVED as ONE single, UNITED and COLLECTIVE initiative (because they will be just that!). And, that… is POWER, that is STRENGTH, that is the art world flexing its muscles and showing that the art world is a FORCE that cannot be ignored.

AND PRACTICALLY?

When you join you’ll get a KVADRENNALEN KIT, with the manifesto and the logo, etc. to put on your site, in your email footer, … The KVADRENNALEN website will feature your logo and a link to your site. And, when the time comes the site will feature a nationwide, 9 month calendar, of all the events, shows, performances, etc. that we are going to run TOGETHER. And you can tell everyone that’s willing to listen that you are doing this!
