6 September 2009 Christina Kubisch (Germany) Rafael Toral (Portugal) David Stackenäs & Martin Küchen Opening 16.00 Performances start from 17.00 Supported by Malmö Stad The site specific sound installation is created by Christina Kubisch from the sound of tuning forks, the piece is entitled Diapason II. Considered a pioneer, Kubisch has been working internationally since 1980 and her work displays an artistic development which is often described as the 'synthesis of arts' - the discovery of acoustic space and the dimension of time in the visual arts on the one hand, and a redefinition of relationships between material and form on the other. The work in Scaniaparken deals with the interaction between the architecture, the natural atmosphere and the sound work itself. Interview The music performance is a Space Study by Rafael Toral (Portugal). Toral has since the late eighties developed a front position within guitar drone music that he recently left in order to develop a new musical language emanating from his own development of new instruments. This music is quite the opposite in its formal language but still mapping space and time, and here he will perform using the spatial conditions of the site. He has collaborated with Jim O'Rourke, John Zorn, Alvin Lucier, Evan Parker, David Toop, Sonic Youth and many others, having played across Europe and the US, Canada and Japan. The concerts is added with a performance by David Stackenäs (guitar/electronics) and Martin Küchen (reeds) culminating in a unique improvisation by the duo with Rafael Toral.
