What we’re working on?

Kisskiss-eniarof-en-540

After enjoying our 13th run of Eniarof, it’s high time for us to leave our mark in History! We’re preparing a bilingual (English/ French) limited edition book. It’ll be something between a catalogue and a fun and pedagogical tool, a retrospective on the last 13 Eniarof events and a manual to help create new

attractions.

It will contain the founding Eniarof dogma, interviews from Annick Rivoire (journalist for Poptronics) with important personalities from the a world of contemporary & digital art such as Régine Debatty, Nicolas Nova, Etienne Mineur, etc …who each give us their personal interpretation of Eniarof. The book will also feature stunning photographs from Manuel Braun(artist & photographer for Liberation and Le Monde…) as well as a detailed description of 20 of the most important attractions, explained by their creators (Douglas Edric Stanley, Antonin Fourneau, Raphael Isdant, Jankenpopp, Monsieur Moo,…) in the shape of technical sheets towards the end of the book. This limited edition of the book will come with a set of cards working as an addition to the “instruction manual” final part of it. As a playful vector of ideas, they should facilitate the process of inventing new attractions & brainstorming sessions.

All in all, something to look forward to!

If you’re new to Eniarof !

Eniarof is a reinvention of the funfair where the concept of the attraction becomes an excuse for art. The creators of each Eniarof take their inspiration from popular culture, ancestral and new, obeying the rules of the “Dogmeniarof”. Karaoke, Lucha Libre, video games, art installations, performances, gory films and curiosity cabinets can all be found on the jolly & unprejudiced grounds of the Eniarof funfair. It’s an ephemeral & multi faceted creature of a place, one often defined as “This thing is called Eniarof”... It was dreamed up by Antonin Fourneau when he was still a student at Aixen- Provence School of Art. But from a student’s final project, Eniarof rapidly grew into a brand, one very much in demand from festivals in France and abroad, with an ever growing number of artists collaborations. In 2013, as Marseille Provence is European Capital of Culture, Antonin returns to the birthplace of Eniarof spending 2 weeks of preparation at the Aix-en-Provence School of Art for new explosive evrsion of the fair…

It was in March 2005 that first Eniarof born under the impulse of Antonin Fourneau student of the Hypermedia lab of Douglas Edric Stanley at thé school of art Aix-en-Provence. A group of students from different artistic sensibilities decided to develop in 2 weeks a carnival gathering twenty attractions. The public was able to see for the first time this experience with multiple and new kind of interactions. On the menu: a racing game of mouse generate VJing, a punching bag to zapping in webtv, an arcade revisited machine Tequila human Paf, a man looking TF1 (french tv channel) non stop for 48 hours, a man trapped in a coffin with a lot of snails .....

Following this first experience emerged an informal Dogma said Dogmeniarof a series of rules to make an Eniarof . And in december 2006 a second Eniarof was born under the overall leadership of the art school of Aix -en- Provence delighted to repeat the experience . A second Eniarof was an opportunity to invite others contributors to further the creative madness of the project. A group from Belgium proposed to organize a military camp making cookies while on the other side a group of students from ENSAD Paris came to partcipate with the Aix -en- Provence students. This gave rise to the appearance of the famous wheelbarrow Tuned , a teddy bear insulted you when you start the fiddled too much , " Immortal Kombat " a policy boxing and the CuicuiBox a concert hall cardboard 2x2x2m to accommodate the many people as possible to collapse !
