Lunchmeat Festival 2017 Theme
i·dol (īd′l)
n.
1. a. An image used as an object of worship.
b. A false god.
(thefreedictionary.com)
Idols are often celebrated as perfect individuals who never fail, but visionary artists deserve respect for quite the opposite: they are not afraid of making mistakes. Fresh ideas are brought to us by people that take risks and do things differently. When something goes wrong, they try again. Until something brilliant is born. Idols are false gods. Images in our head, children of our fetish for success. Fostered by media. Fed by marketing. Perfection is a lie. Worship is a burden. To err is human, and inventive. We are dedicating this festival to the courage of those who experiment.
