SUPERGAU is an imaginary landscape, a culturally virgin landscape.
SUPERGAU needs no buildings, no nostalgia, no tradition.
SUPERGAU is a landscape where art is something new, something that
still has to find a place, a landscape where anyone can be a viewer
and no-one is an expert.
SUPERGAU is free of the weight of the city with its programmed cultural spaces, free of museums, theatres, cabarets and salons that have to be filled with target groups. It is free of the concept of public space, SUPERGAU knows only landscape.
SUPERGAU is area.
SUPERGAU has forest and meadow landscape, seascape, residential landscape, tarmac and concrete landscape.
In SUPERGAU, all these forms of landscape can become stages, scenes of artistic action.
SUPERGAU turns things inside-out, declaring the countryside a cultural centre and the city periphery. Cultural spaces are inverted, and are suddenly roofless museums, theatres, cabarets and salons, without walls, and thus boundless.
SUPERGAU is temporary. Work on and in it will take two years, culminating in a ten-day festival.
