Finissage NOTHINGTOSEENESS Void/White/Silence

The evening programme focuses on the artists crys cole, Arnold Dreyblatt and Phillip Sollmann who are active in Berlin as well as internationally and whose musical activities have never been presented before at the Akademie der Künste. In responding conceptually to the exhibition theme of “nothing-to-see-ness”, the live perfor- mers interface electronic, acoustic, haptic and perceptual audio processes while referencing their diverse musical biographies in an evening of exploratory sonic imaginations.
