30 Jahre Villa Aurora X Wasserspeicher Prenzlauer Beg / Felix Kubin, Josephin Böttger, Tim Story, Hanna Hartman u,a.

In the organizer's words:

To mark the 30th anniversary of Villa Aurora and to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the death of musician and composer Dieter Moebius, the large and small water reservoirs in Prenzlauer Berg will be transformed into extraordinary sound spaces for experimental electronic music for three days.

Felix Kubin and Josephin Böttger will present the Plasmatron project for the first time in the Großer Wasserspeicher, an installation with audiovisual live performances developed especially for the location, which makes the concentric architecture and acoustics of the space an integral part of the work.

At the same time, the audio installation Moebius Strips, curated by Tim Story, will celebrate its European premiere in the Kleines Wasserspeicher. The project is a musical homage to the electronic pioneer Dieter Moebius and brings together ten international artists - including Geoff Barrow (Portishead), Sarah Davachi, Jean-Benoit Dunckel (Air), Felix Kubin, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Michael Rother. The installation will be complemented by a new work by sound artist Hanna Hartman, who was a Villa Aurora fellow in 2010.

The two installations invite visitors to move through the rooms and experience the diverse soundscapes in their own individual way. They open up new perspectives on the emergence and development of electronic music between Berlin and the USA, between krautrock, minimal, techno and sound art - and pay tribute to the power of artistic collaboration across generations and borders.

Price information:

Admission to the sound installations is free. Admission to the live performances by Felix Kubin and Josephin Böttger: €7
