  First Soundscape 1730 hs on Time!

At 1700 hs we offer a touch tour for people with visual impairments, and an introduction with free access for live-transcripts to the AVA app for people with hearing impairments. People with hearing impairments are invited to sit down on one of the „sound chairs“ during the performance which transform the live-soundtracks into vibration frequencies.
The venue is accessible via wheelchair.

Nan Hoover (* 12 May 1931 in Bay Shore, New York as Nancy Dodge Browne; † 9. June 2008 in Berlin as Nancy Hefti-Browne) belongs to the pioneers of international light, video and performance art. She also used the mediums of drawing, painting, photography and film and created art objects and sculptures. One of the main themes of her art was light and motion. The rigorous, minimalist handling of her means as well as the intense concentration with which she performed within spaces of light and shadow are the most salient characteristics of her artistic work.

Hanna Hartman
Having developed her very own language, the Swedish sound artist and composer Hanna Hartman creates compositions that are exclusively made up from authentic sounds which she has recorded around the world. Sounds are taken out of their original context and thus perceived in their purity. Hanna Hartman seeks to reveal hidden correspondences between the most diverse auditive impressions and in new constellations she creates extraordinary worlds of sound.

Audrey Chen
Using the voice, cello and analog electronics, Chen’s work delves deeply into her own version of narrative and non-linear storytelling. A large component of her music is improvised, is completely un-processed and her approach to this is extremely personal and visceral. Her playing explores the combination and layering of an analog synthesizer, preparations and traditional and extended techniques in both the voice and cello. She works to join these elements into a singular ecstatic personal language. For nearly two decades, her predominant focus has been her solo work with the voice, cello and electronics, but she has more recently, in the last four years, begun to shift back towards the exploration of the voice as a primary instrument.

Tara Transitory
aka One Man Nation makes work which some consider art, some consider music and some consider trash. Clearly, it never quite fits into demarcated categories. She is trans, nomadic and is exploring the intersections of gender, noise and ritual through sound, performance and the collective trance.
Currently, she has taken a hiatus from running the space e x t a n t a t i o n in Chiang Mai as well as her solo work. Instead she is focusing her energies on her collaboration with Nguyễn Baly as Nguyễn+Transitory, a living work which tries to explore touch, vulnerability, vibrations, frequencies, noise, rhythm and performance from a slightly less colonial, intersectional feminist angle as well as attempting to empirically learn more of the various Southeast Asian+diaspora queer existences and lost narratives. Concurrently, she is working on the International //gender|o|noise\\ Underground, a collection of video documents made of ephemeral public interventions done in collaboration with other Asian trans* women such as Jenny Quỳnh Phương, Nguyễn Thiện Phúc and Kandy Zyanide (สุกุล ดงน้อย).
