Betreff: [ak-discourse] : STRANGE LOOP: Performance / Ausstellung | 13-15 September, Kleiner Wasserspeicher, Berlin
Liebe allen,
Zwische 13-15 September präsentieren der Monat der zeitgenössischen Musik und Blind Signal STRANGE LOOP. Eine audiovisuelle Konzertinstallation aus Licht, Klang und Architektur. Das Publikum ist eingeladen, sich treiben zu lassen. Bleiben solange wie Sie möchten! Betrachten Sie das Kunstwerk aus verschiedenen Perspektiven, im Stehen, Sitzen oder Liegen.
Der Komponist Julius Holtz und die Videokünstlerin Jemma Woolmore bespielen den ehemaligen kleinen Wasserspeicher im Prenzlauer Berg. Der verlassene Ort wird zur Projektionsfläche einer Konzertinstallation, in der Performer*innen mit Licht, Klang und der Architektur interagieren. Das Stück verfolgt einen zeitlich nicht linearen Ansatz: Installation und Konzert, Hören und Sehen gehen synästhetisch ineinander über. Aus Licht und Klang erwächst ein heterotoper Raum außerhalb von genau definierten Koordinaten, Algorithmen und Märkten. Es entsteht ein Ort des intuitiven Zuhörens und der synästhetischen Erfahrung.
Die Komposition entwickelt sich wie ein hierarchisches System mit mehreren Ebenen. Wer sich durch das System nach oben oder nach unten bewegt, findet sich dort wieder, wo er angefangen hat. Was sich wie eine Aufwärtsbewegung in einer Hierarchie anfühlt, erweist sich als ein geschlossener Zyklus.
Veranstaltungsort: Kleiner Wasserspeicher, Eingang Diedenhofer Straße, 10405 Berlin

JEMMA WOOLMORE
Blurring the boundaries between real and virtual, Jemma’s work explores the spatial and emotional possibilities of light and image in performative environments.
Hailing from New Zealand where she completed her Fine Arts degree, Jemma has made a unique path, weaving between the electronic music and visual arts scenes. Spanning audio-visual performance, installation and bespoke visual and sculptural design, her work shows a strong sensitivity for combining light, sound and structure.
Inspired by naturally occurring patterns, and imbued with a sense of science fiction otherworldliness, Jemma’s work uses recurring symbols to interrogate the fragile boundary between Utopia and Dystopia. In her carefully crafted performances crystalline structures and abstract textural landscapes fluctuate ambiguously in scale between the micro and macro, responding intuitively with sound and environment.
In Berlin Jemma is a curator for Scope Sessions artist talks and works as a member of Lacuna Lab.
Jemma’s recent collaborations include the Nonagon AV show with musician Paula Temple, video mapping installation ‘Sound Affects’ at Sonos Studio LA with PATTERNS Architects and the permanent installation ‘Ephemeral Geometry’ at Les Dominicains (FR).
Jemma Woolmore has showcased her work in festivals, clubs and arts institutions internationally. Including: Mapping festival (CH), MIRA (ES), Node festival (DE), Convergence festival (UK), Sonos Studio (USA), Krake Festival (DE) and Mutek Mexico.

HILARY JEFFERY
Hilary Jeffery (b.1971) is a British musician born in Surbiton (UK) and currently based in Berlin. His musical career started with a journey to the Sahara Desert in 1990 and the sense of silent space which he experienced there is a sustaining influence on his work. He took a degree in music at Dartington College of Arts and the University of York between 1990 and 1993. Early contact with UK jazz musicians such as Paul Dunmall and Keith Tippett have had a lasting influence on Hilary’s approach to music. After completing his studies he became a freelance musician. His early engagements include a tour of UK, Scandinavia, Europe and North America with an Anthroposophic theatre company called Portal Productions for a new version of Rudolf Steiner’s fourth mystery play “The Soul’s Awakening”. After completing this tour Hilary settled in London, worked as a session musician and taught music to theatre students at Queen Mary and Westfield College and Central School of Speech and Drama. During this time he also worked on many compositions including solo pieces for trombone and for the Slovakian cello player Jozef Lupták.
