Fragile Klänge. Buchpräsentation und Screening mit Pia Palme
Kann Musik „mit anderen Ohren“ gehört werden? Die Komponistin und künstlerische Forscherin Pia Palme stellt ihr aktuelles Buch vor und berichtet von ihrer Arbeit über die Fragilität der Klänge. Ihre These ist, dass eine feministische und ökologische Grundhaltung persönliche Hörgewohnheiten verändern kann. Das Hintergrundrauschen wird wahrgenommen, ein Raum in seiner Tiefe ausgelotet.

Film: Cryoglyphs (2022) von Pia Palme, 17 min.

The project formally ended at 31 Mai 2022. Because of the wide-ranging impact of the project and the high interest in the results, follow-up events are still coming up, which are directly connected with the study. They might be listed here.

Pia Palme
In a former post office – a performative ecology with voice, bass recorder, electronics, video, paper
in the former Postsparkassenhalle Vienna

‘Consider the old hall: it sounds by itself. In my performance, it is my living collaborator. It is alive and speaks WITH me. I ask for their permission. It allows me to project my video onto its surface. The hall performs WITH my instrument, reflecting, resonating, masking sound waves. My voice is WITH the floor, crawling into the basement. No, this is (not) another kind of animism, it is purely scientific thinking. My breath enters my instrument, flows through the big tube and exits through holes and openings. Softly, my sounding breath touches the walls, the columns, and moves up towards the glass ceiling. I listen to its history. We bow to each other.’

Palme will also participate in discussion panels in the afternoon.

Pia Palme @Saari Residence 3 March to 29 April 2022
Project WITH [Saari] On March 3rd, I will begin my next period of practice and work, participating at the Saari Residency in Hietamäki near Turku, Finland by invitation of the Kone Foundation – until the end of April. I travel by car, moving slowly across Europe. I bring several instruments (bass recorders), electronic and recording gear, books, and warm clothes. I want to feel the distance, the countries in between Vienna and Turku, and get a taste of the various landscapes. With this journey, I also want to commemorate my grandfather, who spent three years in Finland and Sweden as a prisoner of war during WWI. My plan is to compose, to make art and music, and write. The core theme is about bringing ecological ideas into my practice, experimenting with structures that draw on ecosystem ecology and creating compositional concepts that mirror these ideas. I want to listen to, and practice with, the environment and into myself, from an ecofeminist position.

ON A FORMER ISLAND

A theatrical ecology with Elie Halonen & Satu Hakamäki – shibari dance performance, Pia Palme – composition/subbass recorders, Mari Zhiginas – vocal improvisation, Tuomas Laitinen – dialogist, Siiri Viljakka – live sketching. Storyboard by Palme/Halonen/Hakamäki/Laitinen, videos by Pia Palme. All artists are currently fellows at the Saari Residence maintained by Kone Foundation.

On a former island is a theatrical ecology that brings together sound, dance, text, humans, visuals, paper, plant material, and anorganic matter and was developed for the Sibelius Museum. The piece was initiated by the composer and artistic researcher Pia Palme (Austria) and conceived, realised, and staged with Elie Halonen, Satu Hakamäki and Tuomas Laitinen (Finland). The artists met during their residence at Saari in March and April, found that they share a deep connection with nature and ecology in art, and decided to enter a risky collaborative process to develop a performance. They further joined with vocal artist Mari Zhiginas (Ukraine). Siiri Viljakka, comic artist, projects the performance onto paper by means of simultaneous sketching and drawing. For all of them, the interaction of disciplines in this form was new and offered space for joyful experimentation and discovery.

LIGNA: On how not to forget – Talk by Irene Lehmann
Irene Lehmann presents on the performance group LIGNA at the conference of the International Federation of Theatre Research (IFTR) https://www.iftr.org/conference. In this talk on LIGNA’s performance Schafft zwei, drei, viele Gänge (Hamburg 2019) Irene Lehmann will investigate how local knowledges of a nearly vanished city quarter can be approached with the means of an audiowalk / performance. The Hamburg Gängeviertel (a quater with small alleyways) was a quarter where, in former times, a mixed bunch of people lived – from small merchands to day laborers, from sex-workers to the Swing Youth – and where the first Jewish reformist temple was built. Most of this quarter has been destroyed throughout the last 100 years, so how can the barely visible traces and hidden stories be remembered and connected to the lives of today’s audiences?
