AUDREY CHEN & PHIL MINTON // LABOR SONOR // the interview series

Two mutual souls with some very distinctive voices: Audrey Chen and Phil Minton keep on working together since quite a while and are bending and expanding the possibilities of vocal improvisation.

In 2020 LABOR SONOR started a "pandemic" podcast series, which features an interview by Andrea Neumann with these two exceptional artist, including a spontaneous improvisation after the interview, as well as an improvisation via Zoom.

We are happy to have them perform at Kunsthaus KuLe on the 25th of October! You can find all informations on ticketing & our hygiene concept in the Facebook event linked below, or our website!

Sarah Mauksch 28.08 15:00 - Research Report

Sound and Space. Aesthetic situations between performance and exhibition

In contemporary art, questions about the interactions between sound events and space are always virulent. Which space-generating and space-structuring potentials can be assigned to sound? To what extent does this aesthetic circumstance influence the recipient‘s complex perception process? In order to examine contemporary works of sound art or music theater, a further methodological approach in terms of music theater studies is required. The tools from musicology in the sense of music-analytical and music-philological research strategies are no longer sufficient, but can be made fruitful through a combination with a phenomenological analysis apparatus borrowed from performance studies. The singular eventfulness that is inscribed in these artistic works is particularly evident in the spatial performance (or exhibition) character and individual perception processes that can be made describable as part of the artistic event.

Using different examples, a portfolio of special artistic sound-space relationships will be shown and performative potentials of sound and space will be examined equally.

Next up is Alex Arteaga with an artist lecture.

Aesthetic environmental research

This lecture inquires into the concept of ‘dispositives for very slow aesthetic observation' as media for environmental research. In order to disclose this concept, this lecture addresses the framework in which it develops—a conjunction of phenomenology and the enactive approach to cognition—and, on this basis, a notion of ‘aesthetic cognition’ as a cornerstone of ‘aesthetic research’. This lecture aims at providing evidence of the function, sense and relevance of this variety of inquiry for a transformative research of our urban habitats.

Tune in via Zoom.

Translating spaces, spacing places.
Five instruments, five humans, playing instruments, within a a room.

Christian Kesten is "translating a frontal into a multi-perspective listening situation" for the festival.

While the audience is seated in front of the musicians at St. Elisabeth Kirche, the performance in Villa Elisabeth on Sunday is offering a multi-perspective experience, as listeners can move between the performers and find their own way into the piece.

Tickets still available online.
