press statement 01 – 15th
june 2003
7. garage Festival Stralsund
from 25th July until 16th August 2003
No Concept - A State of Being
Pocket-earthquakes and underwater-phenomena, muezzin singing from
church steeple, a brass orchestra at half speed, digestion sounds
out of Russian synthesizers, building instructions for home security
cameras, heavy bass concerts by low-riders, swaying pillars of bridges,
mobile phones that cause entire walls to vibrate, cooking as a means
of self-defence . . . not enough? Do you sometimes feel an inexplicable
bothersome vibration in the stomach area? Have you ever asked yourself
why an apple sounds better than a peach? Are you sure that no one
is interested in your deleted data? Have you always wondered what
the insides of a computer corps look like? Can you imagine what happens
when a rowdy Finn meets an Icelander with an unlimited tolerance to
alcohol? Have you suffered from persecution mania? Nothing puts you
off? Are you sure?
Trial and error as a strategy of the future? Insecurity as creative
force? Change as generating mechanism?
The 7th annual garage festival, which will take place from the 25th
of July until the 16th of August, seeks to explore the methods and
points of view of the creative process by looking at the principles
and manifestations of insecurity and disorientation. The festival
presents exhibitions, installations, concerts/performances, lectures,
films and workshops over the course of three weeks.
