Three sound-centered evenings
Cooperation with project space Quiet Cue – intermedia and cooperation
5, 12 and 19 September 2015

During its ongoing renovation, the KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art has invited the project space Quiet Cue from the surrounding Neukölln neighbourhood “Flughafen-Kiez” to produce three nights of programming for the impressive Boiler House. For the last six years, Quiet Cue has produced an internationally acclaimed programme of music, sound, performance, and intermedia. 

On three successive Saturdays in September, artists from twelve countries will present a programme that was developed especially for the acoustic and atmospheric idiosyncrasies of the Boiler House with its 20-meter high ceiling. Performances in the space ranging from compositions based on language to musique concrète, and multi-channel electronic music will activate the space as both an instrument and a resonant body. The public is invited to move around and explore the sound installations through proximity and distance. Meanwhile, the performances in the space will also be staged at various different places.

The programme itself spans a broad spectrum of epochs, traversing from contemporary compositions to Bach and moving from the material music pioneers of the twentieth century such as James Tenney and Alvin Lucier on to contemporaries including Phill Niblock (b. 1933), Christian Kesten (b. 1966) and Mike Majkowski (b. 1983).

Quiet Cue at KINDL is curated by Michael Renkel and Nicolas Wiese.
