A free event for all on Midsummer’s Eve – and the launch event of this year’s Camberwell Arts Festival – The Big Event officially marks the re–opening of Myatt’s Fields Park after its extensive £3m renovation. Opened in 1889, the park was designed by Fanny Wilkinson, one of the first
female professional landscape gardeners and
a well–known supporterof women’s suffrage.

The event is inspired by the Victorian heritage of the park, celebrating the familiar as well as the more quirky Victorian performance and cultural traditions, including a mass ukulele jam, tea dance, Big Top performance programme, mass carnival procession and artists’ sideshow stalls. Most of the activities are participatory, including the carnival

procession, which encourages the whole audience to make your own procession. Presented by home live art, the event invites the community back into the park, championing it as a green space in Camberwell and celebrates through the arts
its unique Victorian heritage.

Partners: Myatt’s Fields Park Project Group,
Lambeth Council, Southwark Council, Creative Camberwell, Camberwell Arts

Supported by: The Arts Council, Lambeth Council, Southwark Council, The Heritage Lottery Fund, Co–op Community Fund, Southwark Alliance, The Minet Conservation Association

Sponsors: Cowling & Wilcox, Bright Stationers, The Castle, New Dewaniam, Sun & Doves, Taximedia, Veolia.

Amongst the creaking and popping of emerging green stuff, you will hear the gargling voice of chutney,summoning you – the righteous and

others – to assemble at the chosen
place on the given day. In the beginning there was the word, and the word gave voice, and the voice is now calling, and it say’s “Chutney”.

This year we shall again congregate on Camberwell Green from noon till sundown, on the last day of the Camberwell Arts Festival. Our event plans to explore the wild and varied appeal and repulsion of cults and to temporarily turn the green into Camp Chutney.

Logan’s Run, Big Brother, The Midwich Cuckoo – the popularity of other people’s weirdness and strange beliefs have kept many of us entertained for years, whether real or fictitious. We are fascinated by the groupings and clannish tendencies that develop under particular individuals. Rulers and governors desire to see their own obsessions spawning, mutating and corrupting the minds of others. Now it’s our turn.

Artists have been invited to orbit our large marquee. Of the responses we have had back, there is promise of chanting, sermonising, wearing religious
robes, de–ciphering alien geometries,
offering mind altering experiences, creating visual traps, playing with auditory, manipulation, mixing seductive aromas
and double dealing the general public.

More than 40 artists will be commissioned
to create art works, interactive activities
and performancesfor public consumption,
all in the spirit of collaboration, exploration
and exchange. In the tradition of the historic Camberwell fair, the event will culminate with a performance of fighting puppets made by Chutney artists. We are the Chutney Preserves, and we welcome you into our fold. Curated by Sarah Sparkes & Marq Kearey.

Artists are informed by art that has come before them; there is no such thing as an original idea.
Artists translate and transcode information
from one format to another, wandering in
geography as well as in history.

Our globalised perception calls for new types of representation: our daily lives are played out against a more enormous backdrop than ever before. Artists traverse a cultural landscape saturated with signs, creating new pathways between multiple formats of expression and communication.

The artists in Plagiarise present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
