KalliVoodoo’s performative, Live art in public space.

In a time where people have the need to re-discover simple rituals for connecting with nature and each other, the artist group KalliVoodoo engages people with the means of live art into a memorable experience with deeper meaning. It combines ecological, social and political aspects merged in a subtle way and spreads the message that social sustainability is a precondition for environmental sustainability. It presents a glimpse into the mysteries of live by magically extracting people’s gifts and bonding each and every one. The generated energy with the activities stimulate the quest for finding identity, initiates conversations on relevant subjects and creates real truth in the here and now. Each of the activities launches a spark to recognize the power of the collective.

KalliVoodoo

is an artist collective comprised by Cato Fluitsma and Hans Kalliwoda. Cato is a professional accordion player and singer/songwriter, Hans an intervention artist, exhibiting his work around the world for the last 35 years. As an interdisciplinary team they playfully engage in ecological, social and political topics to create real truth in the here and now. They do this with live art in public space to generate memorable experience with deeper meaning. The collages are a mixture of brainstorming, reflection and spiritual practice, their homework to be ready for the street live.

Biography

Hans Kalliwoda

As a bridge builder and game changer Hans Kalliwoda was a Ph.D. Arts candidate at the University of Leiden. There he focused on human and environmental sustainability issues and developed practices of totemism in a contemporary context. Since the 1980s, Kalliwoda’s work has focused on the
integration of spectators into artworks, installations and interventions. His conceptual work has been exhibited in numerous galleries, museums and public spaces internationally. One of his latest project the World in a Shell – Polliniferous project (WiaS) continues his decades-long tradition of travel and
exchange. With this intervention project, Kalliwoda stimulated the Delft University of Technology with new paradigms and programs (2000-2005) revealing how the thrill of exchange invites participation. Working within the framework of autonomy and mobility, Kalliwoda often plays the guinea pig of his own experiments. As co-initiator and director of the not-for-profit Blindpainters Foundation, with his holistic vision of a sustainable practice he has successfully proven possible, a working alternative to the ‘art-business-as-usual’ for the past twenty-five years.
