Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
