Welcome to the Text Festival!

The Text Festival in Bury, England, is an internationally recognized event dedicated to researching contemporary language art (poetry, text art, sound and media text, live art). The third edition of the Text Festival will begin on April 29th and continue into July.

In the midst of a global stylistic confusion, language is used in a variety of artforms and may even be a unifying area of study, as well as a new definition and international linguistic art practice and discussion. The Bury Festival is the most significant focus for language in contemporary art in the 21st century.

The Festival is dedicated to experiments, new experiences, performances and exhibitions that blend art forms in ground-breaking combinations and provide artists with a platform for debate and communication.

"According to Foucault, the singularities that serve to disrupt and renew normal discourse always emerge from the gaps – in other words, where no one is watching. Almost certainly no one was looking in Bury's direction for the creation of this massive project." — A publication by Architizer states.

Highlights:

  • Christian Bök's debut performance in the United Kingdom was at the prestigious Barbican Centre in London.
  • Ron Silliman created a unique text art commission for him.
  • The sixth edition of the Exhibition, which opened on June 11th and runs through September 26th, will feature a total of 33 exhibitions focusing on language themes from sentences to visual poems by more than 80 international artists.
  • Every week, new events and projects are being added to the programme.
