douglas henderson [*1960 baltimore, usa] is a sound artist who is not only a sound engineer and composer with experience in many subgenres of popular and electronic music, but whose spatial installations move in a border area of the visual arts that suggests the term sculptor. his objects and installations can be quickly grasped visually and acoustically, but a closer look reveals phenomena that have not yet been integrated into sound art in this way. he is particularly interested in the dialogue between sound, form and movement and the transformative power they can unleash in combination.

at brennerei zernikow / 1. - 16. july 2023

 

under the title "3 ½", lena cerniwaska, maximilian glass and emilio gordoa will work on a site-specific and immersive installation this year. the result will be a space-filling composition using prepared motors, resonating objects, shifted projections and dancing shadows. the three artists have already worked together in various constellations and will perform together as a trio in a room for the first time during the festival. a fusion of texts and paper scraps, sounding sculptures and hidden loudspeakers, as well as the consideration of counterpoints, leads to a new and transmedial form of polyphony.

the composer alex mendizabal is invited to the opening of the installation: he plays, under the open sky, the immediate surroundings of the old distillery with a self-built set of instruments.

beyond the wall by daniela fromberg & stefan roigk

the proximity of urban living often awakens our detective curiosity as to what banal event might have caused a certain mysterious sound from the neighbour's flat. unfortunately, the mysterious origins behind the wall usually remain hidden from us and, above all, we ourselves are not only the audience in this collective soundscape, but also the performer at the same time: leaning against the wall scratches, the washing machine drones, the heating roars, chairs are moved, the shower water splashes through shafts and downpipes ... the resonating walls of the flat reveal the actual proximity, although they suggest a separation.
daniela fromberg & stefan roigk construct large listening booths out of cardboard boxes and corrugated cardboard. the cardboard separees for 1-2 people offer an immersive listening experience with an unusual amount of privacy. the composition is transmitted to the walk-in listening sculptures as multi-channel playback by means of sound converters. the audience can move freely around the room or sit in the booths for intensive listening.

 

michael barthel

collects and collects and collects and collects and collects and collects, ... Instead of throwing things away or leaving them lying around, they are always attributed a present and a future in addition to the past they carry within them, which are arranged into installative ensembles of worked and unworked objects.

 

Daniela Fromberg's

works are about surfaces - concretely as moulded shells as well as abstractly as projected role images. Through form-giving experiments, she helps "poor" materials or used objects to take on a new life of their own in a quick impulse. Originally conditioned by the scarcity of personal resources, her nomadic appropriations of space emerge from relatively worthless, accessible everyday materials, incorporating sound, film, photography and performance.

 

Stefan Roigk

carries out the intermedial interweaving of sound collage, sculpture, musical graphics and text-sound composition. Noise as an artistic-aesthetic field of research forms the starting point as well as the central medium of his works. His artistic focus is on the staging of context-related fragments of everyday life, which he condenses into narrative-like spatial compositions.
