Cardboardia CardboardTown

Some Russian pressa quotation about CardboardTown (jan 2008):

“On the opening day of the project a solemn rising of Cardboardia’s flag took place and Cardboardia’s hymn was performed, “non-alternative elections of Cardboardia’s Tyrant” were in progress, after which a cardboard tree was sold by auction.” “We don’t have any police, but have a psycho-executer. Now he is on vacation though.” “I really liked the way the Principal Gardener made cardboard trees and I want to create a small fairy-tale forest out of cardboard in one of the Moscow galleries”,- said Korsakov.”

“Everything in this town is functioning, said Asja Philippova, the director of PROJECT_FABRIKA. “In the first place, the idea was invented by Sergej Korsakov, who wanted to create a land where every person can self-express himself as he wishes, and a land where every person will be able to feel like a child and like an artist at the same time.”

"… to find your way here, you have to pass an inconspicuous gate-way of a once classified factory or join one of the groups of students, who gather in the evenings with rolls of cardboard and home-made models in hands."
