NON GRATA GROUP
NON GRATA GROUP: For those whose art world starts at the point where the mainstream art world ends, NON GRATA has been a liberator, the orphic gap in the seemingly unalterable course which betrays us - it is a cure from incest. The main point of the group is ethical - it is the image of primitivism, un-personality and experimental creativity. The performances of the group take place accordingly to the logic of avoiding codes. The presentations are physical texts, whose ways of orthography and reading are kept within limits of real actions by group members. Aesthetic and provocative challenges are represented in places, where the Art World doesn't work.
NON GRATA is an International performance group with over 40 members from mostly from Estonia, but also from Quebec, Finland, Sweden, Germany, USA, France, Chile. The main characteristics of the members are ANONYMITY in group work, and intentional ignorance of local art worlds and mass media. NON GRATA has performed in Asia, Europe, South and North America with street actions and long lasting ghetto marathons.
