Haus Mödrath - Räume für Kunst
Kerpen, Germany

More information

Haus Mödrath is launching a new format featuring three solo exhibitions, the first edition of which is dedicated to three artists based in the Rhineland. Ursula Schulz-Dornburg (b. 1938), Hubert Kiecol (b. 1950), and Behrang Karimi (b. 1980) are united by an interest in forms that appear older than the moment of their creation.

Under the roof—closest to the sky—Behrang Karimi has created a spatial installation comprising painting, sound, and other artifacts, inspired by a performance at the 1972 Shiraz Arts Festival by Karlheinz Stockhausen, who was born in this very house.

Curator María Belén Sáez de Ibarra says of the show, “In these paintings there is a slow erosion of the layers of censorship, fear, aggression, and stigma that have weighed on homosexuality. That erosion occurs through intimacy and through the persistence of bodies, as two men share skin, water, night, pleasure, and tenderness within the same order of the living.”

Barbican Centre
Silk Street, London
EC2Y 8DS

More information

Turner Prize-winning artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan transforms the Barbican Centre into a dynamic, interdisciplinary platform exploring the urgent and evolving concept of sonic justice.

Over four days, Repercussions brings together an installation, performances, screenings, panel discussions and live music to examine the impact of sound, from the harmful damage of noise pollution to the subversive power of silence.

Often describing himself as a 'Private Ear', Abu Hamdan’s work in audio analysis and aural testimony has reshaped how sonic evidence is mined and understood. His investigations into various crimes and human rights abuses, conducted through his not-for-profit Earshot, have been used by major news organisations, NGOs and grassroots community groups. He then uses installation, video, and live performance to reflect and meditate on the wider political, social and cultural implications of his investigations.

For Repercussions, Abu Hamdan reshapes the Barbican into a site for listening, reflection and shared inquiry.
