After last year’s success, the Temporary Art Centre (TAC) and WEI are presenting Armut Macht Geil again: the free, NO budget festival, on September 25 and 26, 2009 in Eindhoven. The program is a rich mix of music, performance, film and fine arts. And there will be a surprise act!
A hard challenge and a self research for TAC and WEI, and for the Dutch subsidy land. Armut Macht Geil is a statement about the hyper-organised world of music, design and fine art, which is stuck by rules. To what extend does the artist, designer or performer depend on money? Does money make better art? Does no available budget make you creative or does it put you off? And how can such a festival be realised at no cost?
Last year’s edition proved that it can be realised, even very successfully, with Lady Aïda as the main act. Who will be the main act of the festival this year? TAC’s producer, Mike Dobber, keeps it a secret: “They have performed on both Lowlands and STRP, where they blew off the roof. It is very danceable, but more I cannot say.”
Artists include Style Beats Liberation Front, Wouter Jaspers, The Snout Eating Livers, Jak Peters, OKC DJ-team and Victor Varalapatasio. The fine art section is represented by Sarah van Lamsweerde, Erik Vermeulen, Maurice van der Kaa, Renée van Trier, Nick LeBeat and Munne.
