At NICELLI AIRPORT on the LIDO
JUNE 14th at 21:00 - UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND ON

IFM and Manifesta 5 launch EXTRA SCHENGEN at Nicelli Airport in Lido as an occasion to bring together different experiences across visual art and music while exploring new territories in Venice and Europe. EXTRA SCHENGEN, realized within Europe's first airport for the airline Transadriatica, reflects Manifesta 5's desire to explore disgarded and reinvented places, extreme territories, and autonomous sectors. Adhering closely to the architecture of the modernist building from 1935, and yet radically transforming it from with-in, the djs and the artists of EXTRA SCHENGEN forge new possibilities of expression within rational and functional frames and constructs.

DJs Derbastler and Sokolov together with Radio Eurasia (artists Kyrill Protsenko and Iliya Chichkan) from Kyiv offer sound and visual compiled out of Kyiv's Soviet Film and Photo archive in a seamless presentation that echoes the airport's interior as a private and illusory frontier. The ethno-punk cabaret group GOGOL BORDELLO, regarded for past performances in the Bulgarian Bar on Canal Street, offer what the group's lead singer, Eugene Hutz, defines as Ukrainian Gypsy Punk Dada.
