Presentation of the performances from the workshop
RADIKAL UNSICHTBAR Workshop / Radio performance
Through the work-and-title-in-progress lexicon Desert Bærbær we will investigate Hamburg's colonial history in the workshop NOMENRATURE by French/Algerian Oslo-based artist Hanan Benammar. The workshop participants are invited to join a collective artistic research and to perform an experimental radio play together, which will be sent live through Radio FSK. The title of the workshop is a neologism of the words Nomen (lat.: name) and Rature (fr.: to cross out words with a horisontal line) referring to Nomenclature (br.: system of names). In the performative installation piece Shamanistic Cultivation Camp by Austrian artist Claudia Lomoschitz, based in Hamburg and Vienna, we will listen to exotic plants and fruits, exploring the ethical borders of inter-organical relationships. Is it possible to force a plant to read the latin alphabeth? Is it acceptable to keep an ananas trapped in a plastic bag?

Radikal Unsichtbar is a series of workshops, lectures, writings and collective exhibitions focussing on contemporary sound art and the act of listening in relation to community and society. Central for every ACT is a workshop conducted by sound artists based in Scandinavia. The collective workshop process is exhibited among related works by local artists. Radikal Unsichtbar is based in Gängeviertel in Hamburg. Radikal Unsichtbar ACT 5: NOMENRATURE is presented in collaboration with Radio FSK (Freies Sender Kombinat), Museum für Völkerkunde Hamburg and Raum Linksrechts in Gängeviertel, and is kindly supported by Hamburger Kulturbehörde, Nordic Culture Fund and Danish Art Council.

ACT 2: INSTRUMENATURE MAY 12 - 17, 2015 WORKSHOP KRISTOFFER RAASTED (DK) PERFORMANCE: ANN-KATHRIN QUEDNAU Most musical instruments are constructed as extensions of the human body, enabling the human to perform certain sounds that it otherwise wouldn’t be able to produce. The instrument is so to say expanding what is naturally possible for the human. Consequently the instrument is often constructed with regards to the scale and structure of the human body - as a kind of prothesis. The human has the ability to operate and play the instrument. Yet, in order to “master” an instrument one needs to train and discipline one’s body. An exercise that requires human nature to adapt to the nature of the instru- ment. What characterizes the relationship between the body and the instrument? What happens when the instrument exceeds human scale, e.g. when it is able to play itself without the presence or influence of human beings? Or when the composition runs 10 times longer than an average human life. Instrumenature will be a practical and artistic investigation of the musi- cal instrument in relation to the body. We will explore the sculptural and auditive qualities of the instrument in relation to the human body. We will investigate the possibilities and limits of musical instruments, and build our own. We will shape materials and construct instruments for human beings and beyond. Finally we will unite with our creations and send out sonic sculptures into our surroundings. Sounds and shapes that didn’t exist in this space before.

27.03.2015 The title of the experiment is inspired by the story of an Italian army on a mission. When encountering the enemy the sergeant orders the soldiers to attack: "Soldiers attack!" Nothing happens. The sergeant shouts again louder: "Soldiers attack!" Again nothing happens. Once more the sergeant shouts, this time even louder: "Soldiers attack!" Still nothing happens, until a soldier shouts back:" What a nice voice!" The experiment focusses on the aesthetics of language rather than the meaning of the words. We went to the botanical garten in Planten un Blumen and wrote down the latin names of the plants. The workshop participant wrote down the names of the plants, tasting the sounds of the words and were leading dialogues with each other only using the names of the plants. They formed a choir only using the phonetics, and finally the workshop participant developed and showed performances inspired by these experiments.

WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PRODUCTION OF SOUND HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW SOUND "WORKS"? HOW DO YOU RELATE TO MATERIALITY IN YOUR WORK? HOW DO YOU RELATE TO VISUALITY IN YOUR WORK? HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT OF "THE RADICAL"? HOW DO YOU RELATE TO THE "INVISIBILITY" OF SOUND? IS THE "INVISIBILITY" OF SOUND IN ANY WAY RADICAL? HOW DO YOU RELATE TO COLLECTIVITY?
