The Rutabaga Queens have stewarded the historic Kinetic Grand Championship through seemingly insurmountable challenges many times since a few of them formed the nonprofit Kinetic Universe in 2007 and assumed responsibility for running the internationally renowned three-day art race, so perhaps it can be said that 2020 is business as usual in the Kinetic Kingdom.
Queen Betty Crafter, crowned in 2019, says that “In the Kinetic Universe, we live by the word kinetic, meaning movement. If racers come across an obstacle, they find a way around it. We Queens have been sent the ultimate obstacle. In the spirit of Kinetics, we are thinking on our feet and getting creative with the Remote-abaga Ball! I can’t wait to have the honor of crowning this year’s Queen!”
With that in mind, the Rutabaga Queens have unveiled plans for a completely different Rutabaga Ball and “Kinetic Sculpture in Place” Race during these historic times. Those vying to reign from the comfort of their own home as Queen over the 51st weekend of streamcasted Kinetic festivities still must show that they have the best formalwear, best talent, and best idea for crossing the Bay.
Queen contestants and their hard-working entourages will need to meet new digital communications and creativity challenges while creating the pre-recorded portions of the competition from their separate locations. The Remote-abaga Ball will be held Saturday May 23rd during the Kinetic Sculpture in Place Livestream. There will be live contestant interviews, a musical guest, and a live peek into the Quaren-Queen Judges’ Zoom feed before they make their momentous decision. While the new Queen’s coronation will be virtual, the crown will be real… presumably to be sent later via a safe, contact-free delivery.
Also changed for 2020 is the cherished Kinetic tradition of “bribing,” in which Queen contestants, racers and others share small (or elaborate) personalized gifts with judges and spectators. The Queens explicitly discourage anyone from making any such non-essential errand, and encourage everyone in the Kinetic Kingdom and beyond to maintain their safety and keep risk minimization front and center. If a contestant is able to dream up a bribe that is digital, intangible and contact-free, the Queens welcome it and acknowledge the effort made.
“The 2020 Rutabaga Queen will impress us with their creativity by working within these constraints, not by pushing the boundaries of safety during an actual global pandemic,” says 2007 Rutabaga Queen Emma “The EmChantress” Breacain. “A lot of great art comes out of crushing limitations. We are honestly excited to see what they come up with.”
