Moderation: Mathias Maschat

The Denkraum series Sound & Lecture combines the presentation of an artistic project with an artist talk moderated by Mathias Maschat. Guests are Nicola Hein, Christian Grüny, Simon Rose, Claudia Schmitz and Maria Colusi with Aspect Seeing – An Artistic Re-Reading.

The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein described the nature of our perception, to understand a word, an image or a sound in context, as ‘aspect seeing’. The interdisciplinary project Aspect Seeing – An Artistic Re-Reading starts with this phenomenon. Music, philosophical text, dance and video meet each other and meet in improvisation. Aspect seeing, as well as the associated ability of aspect change, is reflected artistically and philosophically on several levels. One of the concerns is to question the potential of Wittgenstein’s engagement with perceptual psychology and construction of meaning in a reinterpretation by the arts, in their interaction and relationality.

The performance is the start of the symposium Sinn und Präsenz in Improvisation.

Admission: 12/10/6 € (normal price/reduced/Berlin-Pass)

Reinhard Gagel – piano
Peter Jarchow – piano

The pianists Reinhard Gagel and Peter Jarchow have known each other for a long time, talk a lot and at length about improvisation and often find amazing similarities in their views. Both are curious to see if and how their shared thinking also affects their playing.

The pre-arrangement: They will think about playing together for the first time when they sit at the pianos for the start of the concert.
