Exerzierhalle at Pferdemarkt and Peterstra\u00dfe, Oldenburg
from 7.00 pm<\/p>\n
The LONG NIGHT OF MUSIC under the motto “MUSIC MAKES PICTURES” is a regional cooperation project of the partners united in “klangpol – Netzwerk Neue Musik Nordwest”. Their aim is clear: to make today’s art music heard. They are convinced that contemporary music is “audible” to everyone with open ears and that there is a scene in the northwest that is lively and diverse, edgy and all the more enticing, indispensable, quirky, shrill, poetic and always surprisingly different. <\/p>\n

As an integral part of the klangpol network, the Edith-Russ-Haus is once again presenting new positions in media art this year as part of the LONG NIGHT OF MUSIC:<\/p>\n
DREI \/ 3 \/ III From 7 p.m. in the Exerzierhalle at Pferdemarkt, Oldenburg The starting point for the performance DREI \/ 3 \/ III was “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, a triptych by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. During the development of the performance, various contemporary concepts of world order and spatial construction were explored performatively and repeatedly brought back to the real space of the performance venue (MaximiliansForum), which resembles a triptych in its composition. The artists make use of new media for the aesthetic realization of newly created, imaginary spatial constructions: twelve Macbooks networked together serve as the visual and acoustic basis of the performance. Based on the assumption that the structure of the triptych reflects an ancient principle of world order, the network connection between the protagonists and the media is understood as a 21st century structure of order. The computer, the network connection and the user together form the dominant unit; the content level is reduced to graphic images. The two-dimensionality of the displays is dissolved by the choreography of the performers in the space. The moving images unfold a space on their own and thus create a temporary architecture. Can systems of tripartition be maintained? Do clearly defined boundaries have to become blurred? And how can a system be depicted in which power can no longer be localized? <\/p>\n The sound on the video consists of a total of 12 tracks, each of which is generated\/played individually on the loudspeakers of the laptops themselves. This creates a kind of moving surround sound (back\/front\/left\/right, panning) in the live spatial arrangement, similar to the visual images, in an acoustic way, sometimes with echoes, acoustic lines and cannon effects. The performance can be seen as a laptop concert or ballet. <\/p>\n Production and realization: Mirko Hecktor in cooperation with the Cultural Department of the City of Munich and peer to space<\/p>\n Mirko Hecktor<\/strong> studied at the Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik und Theater, Munich and Applied Theater Studies at the Justus Liebig University in Gie\u00dfen. He was a dancer for the Bavarian State Ballet, La La La Human Steps in Montreal and Les Ballett de Monte-Carlo and developed choreographies, theater productions, performances and club nights. Since the early 1990s, he has worked internationally as a DJ and music producer. He has been a guest lecturer for the Kul-tur.Forscher! program of Price Waterhouse Cooper and the Kunstraum Akademie “Formen informellen Forschens” at Kunstraum, Munich, as a curator for the Federkiel Foundation and as a moderator\/discussion leader for the German Federal Cultural Foundation – Tanzfond Erbe. <\/p>\n Alexander Giesche<\/strong> was born in Munich in 1982. He graduated from the Institute for Applied Theater Studies in Giessen in 2011. All his works are united by a strong visual level: he sees his “theater” as a laboratory that attempts to change the conventions of the genre, circulating between performance and visual art. He attracted international attention with RECORD OF TIME (a collaboration with Lea Letzel) and was awarded the Critics’ Prize at the “K\u00f6rber Studio Junge Regie” in Hamburg in 2010. <\/p>\n Daniel Kluge<\/strong> Florian Kraus<\/strong> Lea Letzel<\/strong> (*1984) studied Applied Theater Studies in Gie\u00dfen and at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland. Her performance record of time in collaboration with Alexander Gieseke has been performed at numerous national and international festivals, including the M\u00fcnchner Kammerspiele, the Frascati Theater Amsterdam, the kaaitheater Brussels and the Festival d’automne in Paris. Lea Letzel is a member of the SUPERGROUP project ensemble at tanzhaus nrw and a scholarship holder of the Kunstdepot Foundation in G\u00f6schenen. With the project SONS SANS SENS (meaningless sounds), she is a scholarship holder of the first alumni scholarship “Artistic Research” of the Hessian Theater Academy. <\/p>\n
