by Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir Opening 11 MAY 17.00 12-28 MAY / 13-17.00 / SPANIEN19C HYSTERONS is a new installation by Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir, inspired by her research on aspects of the give-and-take relationship of sensory processing. As the mind prioritizes sight over sound in the shifts of perception, Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir seeks to hijack the attention, crystallized in HYSTERONS as three sirens. The sirens assume speakercreature forms, while drawing the audience into an almost mythical universe of electronic sound and visual projections. Harsh sine wave feedback glitches evolve over time as the speaker organisms blink in and out of existence, blossoming into unapologetic feminine authority. In collaboration with SPANIEN19C
by Zeno van den Broek 13 & 14 MAY / 14-14.30 / Kunsthal Aarhus A Flock of Stones is an electronic performance by Zeno van den Broek, incorporated into Nigerian artist Otobong Nkanga’s installation The Encounter That Took a Part of Me, exhibited at Kunsthal Aarhus. Nkanga has invited Zeno van den Broek, along with other performers, to respond to the idea of the ‘taste of a stone’. Diving into this theme, Zeno van den Broek’s performance explores the auditive qualities of stones in an electronic improvisation. The principle of the fracturing of a stone into multiple smaller stones is brought into musical movements and phrases, interacting with each other and the visitors present in the environment created by Nkanga.
