From October 11th to 14th, le Ciné-Club de Grenoble, in partnership with Association pour l’Agencement des Activités and Unpass, invite you to the NSK Rendez-Vous Grenoble, the quirkyfestival which pays tribute to the NSK movement.

Influenced by DADA, historical avant-garde and punk movements, NSK questions art, politics and propaganda through artistic subversion. NSK is still a major source of inspiration and study on contemporary society. A driving force of creativity and provocation, NSK gives a clear portrait of modern Europe.

After its initial success in 2016, NSK Rendez-Vous Grenoble comes back to share unique moments and activities with exciting international artists.

The NSK State Pavilion, alongside an event that is defined by cultural ambitions, provides the unique opportunity to rethink what a contemporary state should be. In particular, NSK State-in-Time offers an open form of citizenship that contrasts markedly with the spatial states. This pavilion will therefore put the issues that most trouble the states of today – migration, citizenship, history and identity. Given its location in Venice, it will also provoke questions about European heritage and its relation to the actual people living here. This pavilion will seek to generate ideas from a range of individuals about how to build new collectivities and shared histories between peoples. While fragmentation and antagonism seems to be the only prospects for Europe’s immediate future, NSK Pavilion will try to look beyond the deprived horizon and try to imagine a new community.  (continue reading…)
