Perth Youth Festival Gathering
With much excitement, the Youth Section warmly invites you to the beautiful Perth hills for our upcoming international event “The Art of the Future ~ An Exploration of New Social and Artistic Life”.
This event will be more than a usual conference – it will be a carefully-woven, integrated and dynamic artistic-social experience!
During our time together we will, as individuals within community, seek to create a sculpture made of warmth – the warmth of our own artistic social interactions. We will do so by consciously interweaving exercises in existing artistic mediums with other activities, in order that this new artwork may emerge – the art of the social sphere – the art of the future.
Essentially, the artwork we will attempt to create is not so much what we produce materially, but what unfolds between us as human beings. Art of this kind is created within our social interactions – this is where modern mystery centres can exist, and where we will attempt to �sculpt’, through warmth, this future art.
This new social artwork will also have a strong meditative foundation, which will be led by our very experienced and inspiring guide Jennifer Kornberger. The social �sculpting’, as well as the other artistic activities (such as creative writing, visual art, music, labyrinth making, nature observation, and more), will be led by organisers from the Youth Section.
These activities will not be separate from our over-all social sculpture, however, but will be carefully woven into it. In fact, every element of the event – including the organisers' year-long planning and �holding’ process – will go towards making this new social artwork.
Because of this, we will not be seeking any isolated intellectual knowledge as such, but will strive towards an actual living experience of this sculpture of warmth – a living soul experience of what happens between us as human beings. We will not merely talk about this sculpture, we will experience what it is to actually create it. For in this medium especially, we are all artists.
We sincerely hope you will be able to join us, and add your creative touch to this unique sculptural piece – this art of the future.
