| | | | | | | | Dear friends and music lovers,
We are looking forward to our new collaboration this year with the galerie weisser elefant in Berlin-Mitte, one of the oldest municipal galleries in the city. The series takes place over two dates and features Italian musician and composer Luciano Chessa, Argentinian bass clarinetist Lucio Capece, Australian cellist Judith Hamann and sound artist Lottie Sebes. Free entry! For over thirty years, galerie weisser elefant has offered young, emerging artists a platform in the city’s most important gallery district, free of any commercial pressures. The public gallery organises site-specific solo exhibitions as well as thematic group shows. This old brick building on Auguststraße in the heart of Berlin has a legacy of spacious installations, photography and painting. | | |

| | | | | | | | Judith Hamann is a cellist and composer from Narrm/Birraranga (Melbourne), Australia, now based in Berlin. As a composer, they destroy "the fiction of the musician who lives and works outside conventional parameters and puts in its place a series of compositions that are fundamentally humane” — The Wire. Their work encompasses performance, improvisation, electro-acoustic composition, field recording, electronics, site specific generative work, and micro-tonal systems in a deeply considered process based approach to creative practice. Listen to an extract of her Days Collapse. | | |

| | | | | | | | Lottie Sebes’ Veritas Ventriloquist is a performance and sound work which questions, transforms, and harnesses the historical entanglements of gender, voice and technology. At the core of this performance is the Veritas Machine – a noisy, dynamic, woman-machine interface made of dismantled and reforged sewing machines, re-envisioned as an instrument and vocal synthesiser. Watch her Veritas Ventriloquist performance. | | |

| | | Luciano Chessa is a composer, conductor, audiovisual and performance artist, and music historian. Chessa’s compositions include Cromlech, a large organ piece he premiered in Melbourne’s Town Hall in 2018; the opera Cena oltranzista nel castelletto al lago — a work merging experimental theatre with reality TV — and A Heavenly Act, an opera commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, with original video by Kalup Linzy. Chessa also led the world premiere performance of Julius Eastman's only known symphonic composition. | | |

| | | Lucio Capece is a Berlin-based, Argentinian musician. As well as his solo work as an electroacoustic music composer and perceptual sound artist, Capece has been active as a bass clarinet and soprano saxophone player, collaborating in the areas of free improvisation and minimal music interpretation for more than two decades, having over 30 releases to his name. Here is his piece from 2021, released by Entr´acte and Stellage, Epimoric Tide. The concerts are free of charge, however since we only have a certain capacity, it is advisable to reserve tickets. | | |

More info: digitalinberlin.de / Facebook Event / Map In recent years Digital in Berlin has worked together with art institutions across the city and wider region — from Kunsthaus Dahlem and the Brücke Museum, to the Bärenzwinger am Köllnischen Park and Galerie Bernau in Brandenburg — to form lasting and fruitful partnerships, bringing together music, culture and the arts. We are looking forward on continuing in this mission with galerie weisser elefant. The collaboration contributes to the two-part project modular exhibition. |
