Location: Badischer Kunstverein I Waldstraße 3 I 76133 Karlsruhe
This workshop explores the somatic, performative, and political implications of collective listening. How can the act of listening become a performative mode? How can the transitions between looking-at and listening-to affect our ecologies of attention and being in the world? In this two-hour workshop we shall practice a selection of Embodied Listening scores inspired by US-American feminist composer Pauline Oliveros, as well as listening practices deriving from the artistic research project Radio-Choreography.
Choreographies of Listening is a program item of the current exhibition Radio-Choreography: Acts of Transmission by Netta Weiser, which is on view at Badischer Kunstverein since June 20, 2024.
Netta Weiser (*1991, Hod-Hasharon) works at the interface of choreography, experimental radio, sound art and performance. The Badischer Kunstverein is showing the artist's first solo exhibition in Germany. In her long-term artistic research Radio-Choreography, she explores the transformation of dance into sound, the relationships between live broadcasts and silenced stories, and listening as a mode of being together. In the exhibition Radio-Choreography: Acts of Transmission, Weiser invites us to listen to the memories of the diasporic body and embodied, intergenerational knowledge.
The exhibition is initiated by Mira Hirtz and curated by Anja Casser (Badischer Kunstverein), supported by the UNESCO City of Media Arts Karlsruhe project funding program and Artis, New York.
Parallel to the exhibition by Netta Weiser, the Badischer Kunstverein is showing the exhibition
#c0da comptoir #fanny carolsruh by HfG graduate Katrin Mayer
Katrin Mayer (*1974, Oberstdorf) is showing her current art and research project c0da at the Badischer Kunstverein, which focuses on the female history of computer programming and writing and places it in a multi-layered relationship to the technology and subject city of Karlsruhe. In her site-specific practice, Mayer creates feminist correctives to existing historiographies; for example, programming technology was a female activity, especially in its beginnings, but the achievements of women are hardly mentioned.
**Both exhibitions can be seen at the Badischer Kunstverein until September 1, 2024
