This publication and the exhibition it accompanies are the first to reexamine his seminal early work, begun under the influence of Allan Kaprow in the late 1950s. Early p…

Talk Shop
Dischi Fantom’s Sussurra Luce series, blurring the boundaries between text, music and voice, returns with their third instalment, Hanne Lippard’s “Talk Shop”. Sculpting a fascinating bridge between radically experimental sound practice, conceptual art, and sound poetry, across its two sides the Berlin based multidisciplinary artist taps an almost dada sensibility, delivering a suite of poems and texts where singular words and sentences are looped and repeated creating a sensory experience of the…

Unshaping
Artist Rie Nakajima is known for arranging small devices in an installation-like manner, presenting the movement of each device as a “performance.” This “performance” may be an attempt to highlight the interaction between humans and devices, as well as the states of response between devices and the space they inhabit, by minimizing human intervention. This piece is a recording of Nakajima’s performance in the courtyard of a castle, where she was invited to perform at a festival in France in 2016…
