The prague quadrienalle effect!!!

January 22nd, 2008 | Posted by Rodrigo Cortes

dscn0142.JPGSix months after the greatest scenography event in the year I found myself impressed about the quadrienalle effect, wearing my hamlet is dead t-shirt I found myself alone on a desert beach in mexico when suddenly I started saying hamlet `s best known quotedscn0144.JPG. suddenly my life changed and dreamgirls came following the call. It was kind of a male animal call. dscn0145.JPGTo me it was kind of logical because, after considering me not so great looking , hamlet is kind of the alter ego of theatre and set designers. dscn0146.JPGI wonder what would happen if I was wearing my Hamlet is NOT dead t-shirt.

Scenofest Sounds

July 19th, 2007 | Posted by Martin Paling

Just thought i’d link you up with some sounds of Scenofest. First of all Steve Brown’s audio diary and his post sharing the fantastically eerie and beautiful soundscape for “Reaching for the Heavens 1″ if that doesn’t make you wish you were back in the buzz of the Babel Tower then your dead to the world.

My second offering is a bit of audio I took during one of the many rain showers during the Prague Quadrennial 2007, in my post I say I’m off in a meeting but the truth is I was out barefoot in the rain making the most of it’s cooling effects, listen out for Angela Bower and Yella (sp?) the Belgium IT/Theatre Technician

City Birds

July 2nd, 2007 | Posted by admin

Thought i’d share one of the last photographs I took in Prague. I’d just waved goodbye to Nikos Kalaitzidis at the Bus Station and was walking back to my hotel when something hanging on a lampost caught my eye: one of the last remaining… possibly the only remaining City Space Hybrid from the Scenofest/Prague Quadrennial. As far as I know it was the only bird made from metal, which im guessing saved it from the hands of momento hunters. It’s rusting wire and eye (made from an old broatch) seemed impossibly forlorn. And it was quite fitting that I should find it just as i’d said goodbye to my last remaining friend in Prague. I was so tempted to take it home with me… but I had a change of heart as i over-romantically hoped it might still be there in 2011

City Space Hybrids
