Oleksandr Hnylytskyi. The Concept of a Rave Party

Publications

O sponsor, addressing you for help, it is dearer for me to speak in hexameter.

We want to hold a rave party and want to convince you that it is necessary, both for you, worn out by toil to the extreme, forgetting the joy of being, and for those who seek oblivion from worries, and for those who want to gain physical happiness – you must help us – children of debauchery.

O sponsor!

Driven to you by the winds of change, the artist runs, and the singer, and the musician, dancer and DJ, trying to find in you the support of days, salvation from their poverty.

The name “rave” was not chosen by chance. For some it is new, for others it sounds extraordinarily joyful in a good sense of the word…

I want to describe the rave party in such a leisurely and understandable style that even those who avoid noisy crowds and the roar of music would fall for the captivating deception and hand over money.

We want to avoid the banality and vulgarity of ordinary rave parties, where “doom-bass-techno” dulls our feelings. We want to decorate the interior unusually. Perhaps find a strange place for the party, so that some spirit of novelty hovers over the old image of familiar fun. And would fill the air with interest in life in its beautiful trinity of emotions, reason, love, united by the physical joy of one’s body.

The usual arsenal of techno-party means aimed at achieving techno-trance, we want to fill with the content of high Art, which in banality gives birth to light and the feeling of a divine touch. Where we learn the mystery of being through contact with Art.

Exhibition and rave, standing side by side, or perhaps in the same hall, should give birth to a Synthesis in unison, which, like a CD-ROM disco, will lead us into worlds presented to us by Art objects. Where each object, be it a thing, or a photo, or God knows what, where (sometimes you yourself guess) the mystery of being will dwell, hidden from light by the artist, but where sometimes you can see the Mysteries of the World, obtained through experiences.

Elibnis Welt – literally means “world of experiences”, “world of experience” – such a name is given to the project in its German part, which the Munich Muffathalle is kindly ready to host in its huge hall.

We are not those who scare abroad, but every project needs continuation and resonance. And meanwhile, in our wild world, there will be plenty of joyful concerns for us, which we hurry to share with you:

How difficult it is to hold a rave party at the proper level; what powerful PR is needed; what large expenses for renting halls and equipment; not forgetting about transport. To hire guys for the security of the general fun, who must be strong and cultured, professionally performing face control; and we must not forget those who excite our feelings with drinks and treats, enriching the celebration… And among hundreds of little things, it is necessary not to forget the creator of the fun, the soul of the rave – the fashionable DJ invited to us by the agency “Frantik Crew”, which is our first sponsor.Comment type: Published comment
