Enchanted
Arguably there is no such
thing as a completely original idea. Many artists have their expressive
creativity suppressed by the unrealistic pressure to be original. The Festival
of Plagiarism is a chance for different artists working in different media to interact
and cross pollinate freely. Every work of Art is an original. No work of Art is
an original. Why should good things only happen once?
Based on this we present to
you Austin’s First Annual Festival of Plagiarism brought to you by the Make
Austin Weird ad hoc cultural social workers local 5 and the folks down at the
Plagiarism is easy!
Plagiarism is fun! Plagiarism is anti commoditization-Plagiarism is complete
freedom!
We are accepting art in all
mediums, especially performance art of all kinds. Liberate yourself! Come on
out to
Please note:
1- No art is to be sold at
AFOP. Due to its nature and legality AFOP is strictly a non commercial event.
Ideas can not be owned.
2- There are NO registration
fees for artists, and we will take plagerized art up
till the end of the festival.
3- The only sole prerequisite
is that all work must be a copy of or based on previous work by another artists. At the enchanted forest site space will be
made for an open air DIY gallery along the wooded paths and a managed stage
with PA and lighting. Display space and stage time on a first come first served
basis.
$5 spectator donation asked
at door to defray costs but none turned away for lack of funds.
