FUTURE PLACES, PORTO
10th October 2008
King Leif I and King Michael I are pleased to have The Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV) join the forum on Digital Media and Local Cultures to take place Friday, October 10. The interesting twist, of course, will be how to define a local culture when KREV´s territory is non-geographical?
The Kingdoms will be represented by their highest Diplomat to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Michael Harding, and Ambassador Heitor Alvelos.
SOUND THRESHOLD
Music and sound through the landscape
A project by Daniela Cascella and Lucia Farinati

28 September 2008, from 4.30 pm to sunset
Archaeological site of Monte San Martino – Campi di Riva del Garda (Trento, Italy)
Sound Threshold presents As Below So Above, a collaboration with Swedish artists Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Leif Elggren, and their project The Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV). Envisioning the creation of a kingdom beyond nation states, Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV) comprise all those areas of flux and border – geographical, mental or digital.
On Sunday 28 September KREV will reach the archaeological site of Monte San Martino with an installation and a performance that will navigate the uncharted imaginary spaces of a threshold through the very elusiveness of sound.
