    Sounding Women's Work | »For the last thousands of years, it has been difficult to see or hear women. I hope that will change in the next many thousands of years to come, so that there is room for both men and women - and all other definitions of gender,« says Danish-American composer Lil Lacy.

    Sounding Women's Work | »It's not a choice whether I want to relate to my gender and my body in my work – the outside world has decided that it is a theme,« says British-Danish Juliana Hodkinson, who does not have much of a romantic approach to composing and accepts the truth of the sketch.

    Sounding Women's Work | DEAP – Aske Zidore & Pernille Zidore Nygaard – work in the cross field between gender, technologies and sound. The artist couple remember to challenge and push each other, so it is not only safe: »Go with the spontaneous ideas – also the children's!«

    The sound of Freud’s toilet in Wienna, Andy Warhol in the supermarket, and the first pirated mp3 ever – Museum of Portable Sound collects and exhibits sound as cultural objects. And the sounds in the collections are only accessible from curator John Kannenberg’s iPhone 4S.

It is impressed in the body

After a long hiatus due to the covid-19 pandemic, Berlin Atonal has opened the gates of Kraftwerk to the public for the first time. As limitations to collective events endure, the new project Metabolic Rift includes, in addition to the live performances, an exhibition aiming to elicit individual experience with intense stimuli. The exposition presents a convincing curatorial approach to sound, exalting its sensorial qualities and proposing an inspiring model to work with the aural and its (im-)materiality in the context of art exhibitions.
