Exhibition
Room Tone
opening: 29 may 17:00 - 21:00 | at Funkhaus Gym | curated by Mélanie Scheiner
Bringing together local and international artists working across sculpture, sound, painting, text, performance and installation, Room Tone explores the relationships between acoustic phenomena and somatic and nervous states. The exhibition is the first iteration of The New Neurasthetics, an ongoing curatorial research project examining the contemporary resurgence of the nervous system as a cultural and somatic paradigm. With Helena Dietrich, Chantal Kaufmann, Mira Mann, Rhona Mühlebach, Helena Sanders, Carolin Schnurrer, and Florian TM Zeisig | regular opening hours: 16:00 - 21:00
Film Installation 29.05
I can no longer remember and neither can you
opening: 29 may 17:00 - 21:00 | at Funkhaus Foyer | by Lucca Lutzky and Juli Bierich
Taking as its point of departure Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann’s 1955 radio play The Cicadas, the work engages with sound, memory, and the collective longing for forms of transgression and disappearance. During a summer residency in 2025 with NeverAtHome, Lutzky and Bierich gathered a group of twenty participants of different ages and backgrounds to collaborate through a series of conversations, sonic exercises, and performative interactions. Participants were invited to describe and imitate sounds, distorting personal memories through playful instructions that gradually displaced language into gesture, rhythm, and abstraction.
Performance by Carolin Schnurrer
19:00
Carolin presents a live sound performance attending to vibration and the felt dimensions of listening, guiding attention to invisible presence, where rhythm, repetition, and attunement shape collective sensing of the room.
