Rote Fabrik, Fabriktheater / Clubraum
Zürich, Switzerland
Malene Bach's abstract, conceptual works are characterized by a geometric approach and range from purely digital to in situ work. Her paintings and sculptures are colorful, clear, constructive and free. Malene Bach explores perception and the conditioned in art, experimenting with media and genres, and moving fluidly between art, architecture and music. In a process lasting several years, Bach, Anker and Riis developed the 30-minute work "Motion Picture", a confounding color- and sound saturated performance that will be performed for the first time in Switzerland at unerhört! 2018.

Jakob Riis. An electro-acoustic live sound perfomance by the composer Jakob Riis of an open composition based on field recordings from the surrounding area. The live performance presents the composition engaging in a dialogue with the site-specific artwork ”The moving coastline archive” through a quadrophonic sound system that are installed amidst the net-drying poles.
Elise Brewer. A performance in a meeting with a sculpture by Ingrid Ogenstedt. The dancer Elise Brewer works with the body as a starting point for creating a place where the everyday logic relaxes and the (un)known is allowed to emerge. The meeting with the artwork will be in focus. What constitutes a meeting? What exists in the space between the entities? The porous walls of the artwork, surrounded by the distance and the color of longevity, opens up for an intimate encounter.

Bergsgatan 29
Malmö, Sweden
Mike Sheridan and Jakob Riis will conclude a two weeks recidency at Inter Arts Center in Malmö with a concert in the Red Room.
The project Sequential Spaces are focused around the exploration of the unique glass instrumet Christal Bascet in an interactive set-up with digital electronics and spatial sound. The music are being developed by the two musicians/composers in a joint investigative work of the instrument Cristal Baschet, in combination with electronic sound processsing techniques developed specifically for this project.
The glass instrument Cristal Bachet originated in the French musique concrète tradition, with the Sequential Spaces project aiming to get into the core of this instrument. As a sculptural manifestation of materials, processes and techniques; glass, metal and membranes on top of each other and immersed in strong and suggestive universes of sound with porous walls.
The instrument Cristal Baschet was developed in the 1950s by the two French instrument makers Bernard and François Baschet. A rare instrument which Mike Sheridan is one of the few who plays. The sound in the instrument are generated from 42 glass bars mounted on metal and amplified in resonant metal and glass fiber membranes.

Madame Nielsen throws an X-ray on today's Europe trying to map and stage the multitude of nationalisms and separatisms currently blooming all over the old continent. What is a nation? What is a hometown? What is a native language? What is Swedish, German, Spanish/Catalan, Danish, Serbian?
Topographies of Paradise is a collaboration between five European theaters: National Theatre in Belgrade, Serbia; Theater Lliure, Catalan National Theater in Barcelona, Catalonia/Spain; Akademie für Darstellende Kunst in Ludwigsburg, Germany; Dramaten, Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern in Stockholm, Sweden; The Royal Danish Theater in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The theaters participate with actors and directors. Madame Nielsen has written the plays based on trips and interviews in the five countries with both actors and political organizations. Live Sound Design on recirculated national anthems by Jakob Riis.
Madame Nielsen is an internationally acclaimed performance artist and author. In the fall of 2015, she followed the refugee stream along the Balkans route - a journey she depicts in the novel Invasionen.

The documentary material of “The Disappearance And Return Of A Beloved”, by Henrik Lund Jørgensen, is filmed in a newly built modern crematorium where the camera without comment follows the process of a cremation.
The project is conceived as a mix of documentary, installation and a musical approach to geräusch*. As a starting point documentary filming material will be displayed in a performative situation. The idea is to work alternatively with the form of the documentary and its elements by presenting the film in a way that allows the sounds and the soundscape to be created and applied to the images through a live performance. The performative screening was developed during a resicency at IAC in December 2017.
* Geräusch (English “foley sound”, Swedish “tramp”) is a traditional technique for creating audio for movies.
Henrik Lund Jørgensen works with video, photography, performance, text and installation. The starting point of his work is a study of moving and still images, how they are perceived and what effect they have. Lund Jørgensen explores thematically how Western identity is based on a definition of the "other" and how this approach is reproduced in images. Conceived as a collage of images, texts and sounds unfolding layer upon layer, his video work subtly straddles uncertain boundaries between reality and fiction. Combining found images from different sources with newly filmed material; Jørgensen fabricates a subjective version of events suffused with ambiguity thus inviting a range of possible interpretations.

The documentary material of “The Disappearance And Return Of A Beloved” is filmed in a newly built modern crematorium where the camera without comment follows the process of a cremation at a certain distance.
The modernization was made by having machines taking over human labour with a deliberate usage of slow movements. The viewers curiosity is driven by the out of the ordinary insight into a place that is unseen to the most, yet very much concerning the public. The confrontation with ones own death is the consequence…
The project is conceived as a mix of documentary, installation and a musical approach to geräusch*. As a starting point documentary filming material will be displayed in a performative situation. The idea is to work alternatively with the form of the documentary and its elements by presenting the film in a way that allows the sounds and the soundscape to be created and applied to the images through a live performance.
