Kaspar König (RONDEEL, Maastricht) und Simon Berz (BADABUM, Zürich) zeigen vom 16. November bis zum 25. November 2007 ihr gemeinsames Schaffen. Sie nutzen die Tage, neue und bestehende Instrumente zu bauen. Die Arbeit ist Konzeption, Bauprozess, Übungsphase und Konzert in einem. Das Publikum hat die Möglichkeit, jeden Prozess einzeln mitzuerleben und seine Empfindungen und sein Wissen miteinzubringen. Die Künstler versuchen damit, gängige Kunstparadigmen in Frage zu stellen und neue zu schaffen und zu diskutieren.

Jeweils um 22 uhr bis 23 Uhr präsentieren die zwei Musiker Ihre neuen Errungenschaften.

In my secondimpress 2 , the workshop sustainable design, the nightwatcher does got a friendly face, new FEbike and turtles dance!
So sometimes I think it is quite hopeless what I am doing… A sustainable / recycling workshop in the country where resources are utmost exploited. Whereas traditional chinese production has to do with sustainability in its purest form, recent wealth and economy-growth are known to be the reasons, as far as we see. I’m told that not even 20 years ago china was everywhere much much cleaner. But now even in the remote places, waste is being dumped basicly everywhere. So when I started my workshop in order to make awareness of the resources we throw away in our daily lifes, many “new” resources for our course where already available in close sight. And actually I started to make some paper to cardboard in different shapes. Also local industries are contacted to enrich our workshop. Many mis-printed KFC packaging is now being re-designed by fifteen very motivated students. I try to give you an impression of the first results. I hope the photos explain themselfs. (anyway I post a seperate article on the workshop once everything is done) Continue reading ’secondfreshimpress 2 > beijing > workshop recycling’
