Torsten. N.I.P. UK 2007New work by mixed media artist Torsten Lauschmann (UK), ‘Rave Kettle’, explores the nature of repetitive beats and their political meanings. The installation is a miniature rave in a kettle kitted out with music, a smoke machine and lights. Visitors are invited to ‘open’ the lid of the kettle to reveal a hidden external sound system, which pumps out the music, so that the internal becomes the external.

Christina Kubisch (Dinamarca)

ChristinaKubisch.de

Christina Kubisch is one of the leading pioneers in the sound art field. Her work has been described as the ‘synthesis of arts’ and she has since the 1970’s been experimenting with found objects, solar power and light to create various installation and performance works. Some of her best-known pieces have experimented with electromagnetic induction (eg ‘Electrical Walks series’) and using ultraviolet light as a compositional tool (eg works such as ‘Skylines’, ‘Klang Fluß Licht Quelle’ and ‘Licht Himmel’). Kubisch’s work has been shown work at major international exhibitions and festivals (Venice Benniale, documenta 8, Kassel, Ars Electronica) and her music has been realised on various labels such as Cramps Records and Edition RZ. She is currently Professor for Sound Art at the Academy of Fine Arts, Saarbrücken, Germany. This is a rare opportunity to hear Kubisch discuss the concepts behind her unique vision.
