Non Grata (Estonia)
NON GRATA is a International performance group. To the group belongs around 40 members from Estonia, England, Quebec, Korea, Finland, Latvia, Sweden, Germany, USA, France, Chile. The main characteristics of the members are anonymity in group work, ignorance of local art world and mass media. Group has performed in Asia, Europe and South and North America with chaotic structures, street actions and long lasting "ghetto marathons".
For those, whose world of arts starts from the point, where the art world ends, NON GRATA has been a liberator, the orphic gap in the seemingly unalterable course, which however betrays us, it is a cure from incest. The main point of the group is ethical - it is the image of primitivism, impersonality and experimental creativity. The performances of the group take place according 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 the groupmembers. Aesthetical and provocative challenges are represented in places, where the Art World doesn't work.
