REVIEWS

“We totally agree with the concept of the losers arcade. All our lives we are bombarded with marketing
telling us we need to be a winner in life – constantly. But what about the losers? Which is actually most
of us – or even ALL of us if you look where humanity is going! But you can have a whole of stupid fun being a loser – and that’s actually what life should be about, right?”
-Joe Mackintosh – Creative Director, Out There Festival (UK)

“I visit Loser’s Arcade every time and am always fascinated by all the sense and nonsense there” – Dirk (De)

“A castle of dreams” – Suse Von Essen, Producer, At-tension Festival (De)

“The Losers Arcade and its artists hold great significance as a key area for artistic / relationship development, and we are enthusiastic about nurturing this connection and area of the festival as its own entity, a festival within a festival if you like”
– Emily Cserei – Executive Producer, Sea Change Arts (UK)

“I lost my mind in your place”
– Nico, Artist Liaison, Fusion Festival (De)
