    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.”

    “The Cardboard town built on an area of 500 meters in the exhibition centre Project_Fabrika will open its doors to visitors on the 8th of January. For two weeks the town will live its own life and the organizers promise that there will be lots of interesting events taking place. The town has: a Center of Modern Cardboard, a Cardboard Fashion House, a Requiring Payment Voluntary Jail, a Hotel, a Post office, a Doll’s House, a Photo-studio, a Parking Lot, a Cardboard Bank. Guests of Cardboard Town may participate in the town's life: street processions, head of state elections, carnivals, concerts, exhibitions, master-classes, cardboard fashion shows, children performances - like in any other town.”

    "… 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."

About me:

Cardboardia: create, earn, play!

«Cardboardia 'towns' are temporary, collaboratively built and inhabited towns manifesting in Russia, Finland, Germany and other places. Cardboardia is, in essence, a role playing community, where guests can create a new identity while contributing to the growth of the town, using cardboard as their expressive and artistic medium. Every town created under the Cardboardia title is a place where people can reinvent themselves - where, for a short time, everyone can leave behind their daily worries through new ways of self-expression. Cardboardia brings together all people of all ages and backgrounds in a conflict free environment. All the participants have the equal significance and room for self ..Black Rock Arts Foundation,blackrockarts.org)

“Cardboardia” – is a socially oriented cultural project, which unites different genres of modern art (painting, theatre, sculpture, architecture, music). It not only attracts creative individuals but also draws the attention of independent creative associations and gives them a site for demonstration of their abilities. Mutual help and a ready site give the opportunity of making a louder statement and finding a way to the right audience. It is an alternative to projects of contemplation – an area of artistic realization for people of all ages and professions.
