EXPLORING SOUND FIELDS: IMAGINARY WORKSPACE-Bauhaus Reuse, Berlin
EXPLORING SOUND FIELDS: IMAGINARY WORKSPACE
Opening: Thursday, May 23, 2024, 19:00, vernissage and live performance
Opening hours: May 24 – June 12, 2024, 12:00-20:00 (daily, except Mondays)
Alongside the Generative and Computational Art class at UDK Berlin and students from the UMPRUM Art Academy in Prague, we will be performing our piece 'Exposure' as part of the collective exhibition 'Exploring Sound Fields: Imaginary Workspace' from 20:40h.
On the occasion of the “Czech Year of Music 2024”, a German-Czech cooperation project with students from the UMPRUM Art Academy in Prague and the UdK Berlin is being launched in collaboration with the Czech Center and the BHROX bauhaus reuse in Berlin. The transdisciplinary exchange project is developing experimental sound compositions and digital visualizations, which will be shown in May with an interactive exhibition at BHROX bauhaus reuse, which will be opened with a joint performance.
The project offers participants a collaborative platform on which students can develop innovative artistic practices with analog and digital media on common themes and test them live. The focus is not only on music and visual art, but more generally on the interplay between performativity and sound within the human environment.
A literary metaphor for these qualities of music is provided, for example, by the well-known figure of the “Pied Piper of Hamelin”, who illustrates how suggestive sounds can have an effect outside their own artistic sphere. Using performance art, software developments, digital and analog musical instruments and sound-generating devices, the German and Czech students examine how we react to sounds and music across political and cultural boundaries and in what – perhaps unconscious – ways they are an essential part of our lives in today’s world.
The project is a continuation of “UMPRUM.wav”, which was successfully presented at the Milan Design Week and subsequently awarded at the Prague Designblok, and part of the program focus “Performative Practices in Urban Space” at BHROX bauhaus reuse.
Location: BHROX bauhaus reuse, central island (traffic circle), Ernst-Reuter-Platz, 10587 Berlin. The BHROX bauhaus reuse glass pavilion is located on the central island (traffic circle) of Ernst-Reuter-Platz. Access is officially only possible via the subway station Ernst-Reuter-Platz, exit via a pedestrian tunnel towards the central island.
The project takes place on the occasion of the “Czech Year of Music 2024”, in a collaboration between the UMPRUM – Academy of Art, Design and Architecture in Prague, the UdK Berlin, the BHROX bauhaus reuse and the Czech Center Berlin. The exhibition Exploring Sound Fields – Imaginary Workspace shows the results of a semester project and two workshop encounters in Prague and Berlin in a student collaboration with students from the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Studio for Design and Digital Technologies (both UMPRUM) as well as the Faculty of Generative Art / Computational Art at the Institute for Time-based Media at the UdK Berlin. The exhibition is curated and realized at BHROX bauhaus reuse.
The BHROX bauhaus reuse is an urban laboratory and transdisciplinary center, founded by zukunftsgeraeusche and funded by the district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, in cooperation with UdK Berlin, TUB Berlin and many other cooperation partners. The project “Exploring Sound Fields – Imaginary Workspace” is co-funded by the German-Czech Future Fund, ATI, UdK, UMPRUM, Ministry of Youth and Education of the Czech Republic and Czech Center Berlin.
