3) KAO BRUNCH - MUNICH, GERMANY, SATURDAY, JUNE 15TH at the Augustiner-Keller Biergarten

"Weissbier, Weisswuerste und viel Kinetische Kunst"

This time KAO Members traveled  from the far North of Holland to the "almost" South of Europe -  they traveled by car and plane (Marcus by Bicycle)  many long hours for a "gemuetliches" KAO Brunch in this wonderful Munich beer-garden.

The brave KAO Adventurer for this KAO Gathering were:

Charles Morgen (CH);

Bernward Frank (D);

Marcus Berkmann (D);

Cor Wetting (NL);

Ralf Gschwend (CH)

Thoroughly enjoyable! We spent  hours, over cold, fresh beer and many a Wurst, under ancient cool oak trees in Munich's mid-summer heat,- contemplating  what defines Kinetic Art and how to promote it...

Mostly though, we exchanged novel exhibition ideas and internet concepts with Mr. Cor Wetting, the organizer in charge of the 2003 ART IN MOTION Biennale in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. How to make the Holland Kinetic-Art Biennale an outstanding phenomenal success??? How to show our Kinetic Art in ways not seen anywhere yet??? Live welding performances?, Kinetic Art Videos piped over the Internet - 24 hours a day?, Kinetic Art Prizes for the Winners of the 2003 Competition - but this time flown in to receive them LIVE and ON STAGE in Holland?, ...

Do you have any ideas and suggestions?

  KAO, together with Mr. Wetting, have now selected a  final shortlist of  KAO Kinetic Artists.   The LIST OF ULTIMATELY SELECTED KAO ARTISTS is due shortly, so please check our progress on this website: www.Kinetic-Art.Org .

We should have some pictures up soon...
