in rooms and on stages of the former mental hospital laundry will alternate artists, musicians and performers from university courses and seemingly distant yet contiguous. Whether it's outsider art, noise music, graphics harsh, happening somewhere between pop and lysergic acid, the heroes of BABA told of a geography that binds together parallel experiences from Italy as from Belgium, Canada as the USA, 'England as Germany. Sounds and visions from the acid dyes, sarcastic, sometimes delirious, marked by a black humor that is warped mirror of contemporary anxieties and conflicts.
staring folk singers go hand in hand with street artists touch naive. Dropouts devoted to rock'n'roll si faranno accompagnare da bizzarri sperimentatori elettronici e rumoristi puri. Freak shows da luna park irrancidito faranno da sfondo a performance a metà tra asilo nido e ospedale psichiatrico.
Ad andare in scena, nel pomeriggio di BABA, saranno tutte le crepe, gli scarti, i rifiuti e gli slanci infantili di un Occidente allegramente intento a festeggiare il suo collasso, con un occhio di riguardo verso le realtà italiane, ma senza rinunciare alla partecipazione di realtà che, in Europa quanto in Nord America, hanno fatto della Outsider Culture uno dei più importanti movimenti del nuovo millennio.

BABA ART
Since the 2000s, the heirs (conscious or not) of the original Art Brut together form a transnational community so visible become real "Sign of the times." The collective Le Dernier Cri, based in France but open for collaborations from all over the world, it is the iconoclastic side, grinding and tied to the old underground aesthetic, while the U.S. is exploding phenomenon Paper Rad, more inclined to an imaginary pop replete with references to the tech-80s. Besides the more celebrated names, then developed a whole movement back to a certain ostentatious amateur (limited edition serigraphs, homemade zines, rediscovery of the old copy-art, etc.) is a real mission. Baba involved in its exhibition space, some of the names in his opinion the most interesting from the latest generation of outsider artists.

BABA SOUND
The music community that has most engaged in with varied world out year 2000 is no doubt that noise, devoted to noise as the main ingredient of a sound hysterical and dissociated. But other scenes of the border have contributed to the soundtrack for his definition of aesthetics disinclined to gender barriers: first, the so-called weird folk, acoustic singer-songwriter kind of lopsided and absurdity, and then some garage-rock'n'roll deviant, which extrapolates the elements of primitive punk more "experimental" and that in recent months has led to the birth of a whole new genre, the rumored shitgaze and finally could not miss the contributions of DJs, laptop musicians, and fans of old equipment electronic analog of the verb give an interpretation over the top, placing the emphasis on aspects of "physical" sound of a room otherwise condemned to sterility. The concerts Baba's 360-degree range of styles, and music trends as varied as united by a single, crazed, common feeling, which argues, inter alia, through practices such as the recovery of the curious old cassette tape, the preference for amateur media such as CDR or a passion for non-conventional formats (cd
