ELECTRIC PICNIC MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL
STRADBALLY HALL, CO. LAOIS
4th-6th September 2015
______________________
From its modest beginnings three years ago, when Trailer Park rolled into Stradbally to pay
homage to the dubious memories of the humble caravan; the vintage vacation park has
become the mecca for the displaced eccentrics and nostalgic amongst Picnickers. As with last
year the Electric Picnic’s mobiletropolis called for fresh designers to emerge from under their
garden toadstools and laboratories to get creating.
Over 100 lunatics responded which made us laugh and cry. Today we have narrowed these
down to the final fifteen that will be exhibiting this year.
Roll it there Roisin……….and reveal those outrageous, interactive trailers, caravans and vans
holidaying this September in Stradbally Hall………….

Electric Picnic.
GladRags & GlamFags
By Moe Coakley
GladRags & GlamFags will kick off Electric Picnics first ever “Lip Sync Battle Arena!!” Step
aboard a vintage bus, get gooey in glamour to be schooled by the “Shade Parade” - the
fabulous jury who decide whether you’re trailer trash or you make the grade. Apply to
compete, book your slot, invite your mates and bring your very finest and most glittering
game face to become the Trailer Park’s Electric Princess or Prince… One crown fits all.
The VIVA ELECTRIC PICNIC CHAPEL
By Alex McHugh and Cian McKenna
What happens at EP, stays at EP!!!
Stumble in to our tacktastic little chapel and tie the knot for the festival weekend.
Officiated by the king himself, Mr Elvis Presley, each impromptu ceremony will be complete
with fabulously tacky Elvis-esque décor. "Here Comes the Bride" will be played to great effect
on electric organ, as you march the full 3ft aisle of our tiny caravan church! Following the
wedding, our newly-weds will be treated to their very own temporary tattoos. That’s right
ladies and gentlemen – this is one classy joint!
Holodeck
By Ian Fitzgerald & Terry Madigan
Virtual Reality Ireland teams up with the Electric Picnic 15 to bring you the "Holodeck"
Using the latest Virtual Reality technology, Holodeck will showcase this fantastic new fully
immersive medium to festival goers. Visit the Holodeck caravan to experience a full menu of
experiences which you, the user, can choose for yourself. Whether you're into flying like
superman over Manhattan or on stage singing ‘Live and Let Die’ with Paul McCartney, the
choice is yours. The experience will transport you from the fields of Stradbally to views of the
world like you have never seen before.
The Holodeck trailer has teamed up with a surprise Irish/Australian street artist to create a
bespoke stencil exclusively for our trailer. The interior will pay homage to the early creators of
virtual reality, reflected throughout the trailer design (think old school red/blue 3D glasses).
Holodeck endeavours to up-cycle where possible, keeping their carbon footprint at an
absolute minimum, aligning with the festival ethos. There will be 2 glass viewing domes on
site allowing each user a safe and comfortable platform to enjoy their VR Experience.
CARAVAN MIRROR MAZE
By The Lucky Lot, Herbal Crest & Blas Café in association with The Chocolate Factory
Inspired by artist Yoyoi Kusama, The Lucky Lot in collaboration with Herbel Crest & Blas Café
at The Chocolate Factory create a spectacular labyrinthine mirror maze for Trailer Park 2015.
With a reflective glass exterior, the caravan will be an object of illusion, reflecting all the
bizarre happenings at Trailer Park. Visitors will walk into our entrance and face the visual
challenge of walking through the Caravan Mirror Maze, with mirrored floors, walls and ceiling.
They will be spun into an illusory passage with vertigo-inducing reflections and blinking LEDs.
Our aim is to create a carvanscopic galaxy or a nebula and for visitors to emerge the other
side into a different world: a tarpaulin covered secret garden where Blas Café is serving
delicious food / Herbal Crest soft drinks and The Chocolate Factory resident chocolatier
serves real hot chocolate shots. Here there will be a long, simple wooden feasting table in
between a framework on which we hang roped swing seats for our guests to sit together and
while away magic time at The Electric Picnic.
The Funeral Parlour
By Huxley Horror
Don your finest and most flamboyant funeral attire and gather in this old-school funeral
parlour for some funeral fun! At the Funeral Parlour your great-great-granny would have felt
at home - and maybe still does!!! Venture through the doors and you will be greeted by
cadaverous Huxley Horror creatures, doing their damnedest to make sure you’re running
screaming for your life! If you are a lucky soul, you may even have the opportunity attend
their own wake! Have your requests included in the death notices and find out more
at www.huxleyhorror.com. Not for the faint of heart… or soul!!
The Bus That Fell To Earth
By David Sumray
Now a deserted and somewhat lonely and neglected bus, it has served it's time working hard,
day-in-day-out, delivering millions of people to their daily destinations. It has witnessed the
simplicities and complexities of everyday life: laughter; sadness; courtship; divorce; death;
birth; love; lust. Absorbed into its metal structure, these emotions live on.
The bus reveals the secrets of its past. "It's not what you look at, it's what you see." Focus and
you will see something very different than a bashed up neglected old bus. You must
breakdown the programmed and conditioned mind that views a bus only being on the road;
then and only then will you truly see.
Plastic Fantastic
By Mud Island Community Garden
‘Plastic Fantastic' is an interactive caravan installation inspired by community garden
surroundings, clad with plastic bottle top mosaics, plastic flowers and giant plastic bubble
wrap. Furnishings will be fashioned from all sorts of plastic paraphernalia. Picnicers are
invited to visit and collaborate in this installation of fantastic plasticness! While here why not
try on items from the plastic fantastic wardrobe! Nightly, a very special Plastic Fantastic light
show will highlight this very plastic and very fantastic installation, in all its plastic glory!
The Trailer Tower. A Tall View!
By Benny Magennis
Join us in our tiny, two berth caravan perched neatly and precariously upon a 25ft wooden
tower! Benny Magennis’s creation gives the festival goer a new vantage point to fully
appreciate the fabulous and the fantastical creations that inhabit the Trailer Park.
Comedivan
By Danny Dowling (Madhatter Productions)
Debuting in Trailer Park Electric Picnic 2015 we bring you the world’s first fully interactive,
environmentally conscious, mobile Comedy Caravan – COMEDIVAN!!! The Comedivan
caravan is an environmentally friendly art space - a topsy-turvy mix of something old,
something new, something borrowed and something green.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!!! ….
On its drop down stage, Comedivan will host LIVE COMEDY as well as some other
unannounced and super secret performances over the course of the festival weekend.
The Degustation Teardrop
By Angus Craigie
Degustation is a culinary term meaning a careful, appreciative tasting of various foods and
focusing on the gustatory system, the senses, culinary art and good company.
This hybrid installation is inspired by the retro look of the American airstream caravan and a
round topped barn, as found in the Irish countryside. Not only this, but our caravan will look
like an opening clam, revealing the food preparation and display area within.
Dive in for demonstrations on food preparation, and part-takers will be allowed sample their
delicious produce afterwards.
Caravan Obscura; Turn your world upside down! By Sandra McAllister
Step into the Caravan Obscura, where the outside trailer park world will be projected upside
down onto the back wall of the darkened trailer. All through a tiny pinhole! And why not
create your own portable Camera Obscura to take away with you, and share the view of an
upside down world.
Reciprocity
By Rob Parkes, Art O’Laoire, Ken Coleman and Emma O’Brien
(AKA Team Reciprocity!)
Experience the creation and manipulation of imagery in real-time through the use of
computer generated video in sync with music. RECIPROCITY is a broad term for real-time
visual performance. It is a participatory, interactive, performed, body-environment based
experience. Reciprocal behaviour is what brings the piece to life. Acts from Sub:Sonic
Records and Scoundrels Sound System will feature over the weekend to make this an exciting,
multidimensional happening.
Silver Spacecraft (The Day the Earth Stood Still)
By Garry St.George-Kennedy
Garry St George-Kennedy brings us an ORGANIC, OMNIBIOUS, ALIEN, SPACECRAFT! Join the
creatures that crew this silver beauty; visit with them in their inner sanctum. Silver Spacecraft
is created from panels of aluminium, glued, screwed, and riveted. The windows appear as
though they are living eyes and gills. Steam spews from the vents. A mahogany door, inset
with stained glass panels will lead into a lush, if intimidating inner dwelling. Steampunked to
perfection, the interior is fitted with miles of mahogany, leather, velvet, lace, chrome, brass,
and Tiffany lamps.
OLDE WORLDE TRAVELLING SHOW
By Selena Kindersley
At long last, the ancient sporting challenge of arm-wrestling finds itself here in the heart of
low-life antics - a hidden corner of Trailer Park. Alex "Keno" MacKenzie and Seany
"StrongArm" Fennelly begin the challenge each day - who can take them out in an armwrestle? Any challengers are coerced into buying two shots of hooch from the adjacent bar one for him, one for you - and the Olympian task begins. Illegal gambling on the outcome is
encouraged (but not by us), and there are no special concessions for ladies. This is the place
in the picnic that you are most likely to be fleeced. Inevitably, folks will begin to bet their
family silver on two flies walking down a wall, and we'll be there to egg it all on.AND
RETURNING TO TRAILER PARK!!
Car-au-vin By Shane Banim
Monsieur le Banim est un vin snob grincheux avec une femme qui préfèrent vivre dans une
grande ville comme Pauillac. Elle est un peu tarty, et applique trop de rouge à lèvres chaque
matin. And the young assistant is very pretty. Les Banims sont les proprieteurs de Car-au-vin.
Come and join them for a glass of wine. Do not ask for house wine.
Incredibly Mad De-Programming Machine
By David Sumray
This mobile machine designed by slightly eccentric professor Dave “moonlight” Sumray offers
a ‘De-Programming Session’ to willing Picnickers, stripping them of the layers of conditioning
that modern living has forced upon them. Picnickers beware however - his improvised
invention is not yet perfected and results have been haphazard at times!
Lord Ganesh’s Larder By Fiona Arakelian
Lord Ganesh’s Larder promises to be an immersive Indian experience chronicling the sounds
and colours of India. Inspired by the Hindu elephant deity, this space will pay tribute to Lord
Ganesh who, quite simply, loved to dance and eat sweets! In this decorated Indian bus
complete with Howdah chair on top and old suitcases scattered around the front, there will
be a chance to dance, drink chai and eat Indian sweetmeats from Lord Ganesh’s Larder.
Caravanaoke
By Brian Connolly, Neil Conlan and Frank Gough
Reminiscing scenes from the famous Fr. Ted episode – Caravanaoke - brings you karaoke in a
caravan! We'll have a superb sound system and someone on hand to show you the ropes and
then it’s all yours....sing your heart out!

Angi Dixon creator of Betty Bang
Club Caravan Extravaganza
By Dermot Agnew
Club Caravan Extravaganza is full the strange rumblings in the undergrowth; fanfares on high;
angles singing and babies crying. Returning to the Trailer Park to amuse, bemuse, confuse and
intrude on an otherwise mundane life. This little big theatre-style venue will be offering up an
eclectic mix of music and performance.
My Big Fat Redneck Divorce
By Clement Wilson & Lucy Osbourne
An interactive theatre production, the stage being the trailer and the garden outside; the
audience are invited to join the party as they enjoy the show. The last 12 months have not
been kind to Darlene, after marrying Earl at last year's Electric Picnic. Sadly they have since
divorced, but you can't keep a good woman down, even in Hicksville. As you’d expect from
good ol’ Southern hospitality it is an open trailer, for the weekend, and y'all are invited.
Makeshop at Trailer Park
By Science Gallery | supported by Trinity College Dublin
