“May you live in interesting times, may you come to the attention of those in authority, may the gods give you everything you ask for” so the Chinese curse goes. We have a fair share of all three. Experience the first and the last beyond a reasonable doubt. Flagrantly flaunting a vice, with little to no record or recollection of a mirror breaking dealing bad luck for eleven years, like a doubled edged sword we could only relish or not relish days the powers that be are at long last set to make contact - Champagne is no vice, even if it were: for quintessential arts it’s a vice turned philosophy, like the struggle between good and evil. Occasionally celebrating shortcomings and spoils of brilliance and at times not so well executed ideas. And that, that is The Champagne Theory. After the efforts of the 7th season respectively the Superterrestrial Collection and Celestial Experience it’d be easy to build on that hype but more often than most would like to admit spin-offs normally don’t live up to the hype of the predecessor. As we ready our 8th season, we ask it be seen for what it is not what the 7th season was because even that was a riddle to us.
Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation - the name is derived from the fifth essence interpreted as æther in addition to the four elements thought to compose the heavenly bodies in Ancient Greek philosophy. The organisation is driven by reinvention, reinterpretation and recreation of older works encoded by its garments and decoded through the sonic. Just as science and religion go hand in hand, the garments go hand in hand with the sonic as well as other mediums such as literary pieces used to set the stage for every season respectively thus setting it apart from what the masses have become accustomed to. Quintessential Arts is an organisation whose purpose is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and critique, make those that don’t identify with the status quo identify themselves with it.
Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation founded August 8th, 2020 in Johannesburg South, South Africa.
