Brave New Music
20, 21, 22 March | The Arches, Glasgow, Scotland, UK
One of the great visual/ live art/ performance artists of the 20th Century7 whose actions were always accompanied by music of clamorous noise balanced against vibrating drones.
A specially commissioned performance for organ, along the following lines: "The joy of beautiful colours, of (almost intoxicating) combinations of sound was most important but at the same time it was carried by the almost presumptuous task to conjure, to sing of, and measure the extent of cosmic space. The course of the stars were to be put to sound."
His organ performances hover in indeterminate time. They focus on what sound feels like: its shape and form, its colour and texture.
7He's one of the founding fathers of Austrian Aktionism: a super influential blend of visual art, performance, shock, ritual, the ethics of religion and sacrifice, our culture's fixation with violence.
