Mouse on Mars in conversation with Helga de la Motte-Haber and Dr. Eva Huttenlauch, followed by a set of DJ Keriner (Radio 80000)

 

Inaugurating the brand new Various Other Social Club format, Mouse on Mars – one of the most idiosyncratic and remarkable electronic music projects in Germany – is in conversation with systematic musicologist and music psychologist Helga de la Motte-Haber and Lenbachhaus München curator Dr. Eva Huttenlauch. Elaborating on their anarchic sound mixture oscillating between uncontrolled chaos and precisely arranged structures, they focus on their current exhibition transforming the Kunstbau into a gigantic stereophonic instrument. The talk is in German.

Followed by a set of DJ Keriner (Radio 80000) and generously hosted at Hotel MIO by Amano.

Performance “Mirror Piece I & II” (1969/2018) by Joan Jonas
6:00 - 6:30pm

Mirror Piece I & II (1969/2018) counts among Jonas’s earliest performances and the original version was influenced by the feminist discourses of the time. Inspired by Broadway choreographies of the 1930s and 1940s, performers formed themselves into frontal arrangements while wearing life-size mirrors. In 2018, the performance was reconstructed for the first time based on photographs and notes and adapted into a new version. The mirrors carried by the 15 performers reflect the space, the bodies of the other performers, as well as those of the spectators. Through the fragmentation of the space and the fragility of the props, Jonas addresses the power structures that underpin the gaze and the way gender constructions are propagated by media images. 

Tickets can be booked individually through Haus der Kunst. Please register via https://hausderkunst.de/kalender Entrance fee: 12 €

Thoughts of a Painter.In this widely read book Aalders thoughts about art and particularly abstract painting and its relation to the world are discussed in a series of interviews conducted by Robert van Altena.
