Concert & Performance | Rirkrit Tiravanija: DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG

demo station: VoiceArt Quartett

In this special project, the vocal artists of the VoiceArt Quartet create new improvisations directly in the moment, relating tangibly to the atmosphere of the room and specifically dedicated to the exhibition DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG by Rirkrit Tiravanija and the people present. The power of the instantaneous vocal music unfolds through the trusting, subtle connection between the four singers and on the basis of their trained perceptive abilities, authentic artistic aesthetics and musical-improvisational experience.

The event takes place on a demo station by Rirkrit Tiravanija. The stage-like sculpture invites people to “demonstrate” something. Tiravanija plays with the different meanings of the term “demonstration” as both a political protest and a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby. For the duration of the exhibition, the demo station provides a space for daily public performances.

During the event between 15:00 and 16:00, the ping pong tables of the installation untitled 2024 (السؤال هو غداً) (tomorrow is the question) (morgen ist die frage) (jutro jest pytaniem) (завтра это вопрос) (yarindir soru) (Завтра питання) (ngày mai là câu hỏi) by Rirkrit Tiravanija in the atrium are not accessible.

During the event, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you may be recognisable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the event or exhibition.
