Money Laundering / Reflexion über das eigene Privileg und über das Medium des Geldes
10 September 2023, 20:30 DETOX with Qiyun Zheng (dance, performance, body)
11 September 2023, 8:30 pm DETOX with Wieland Möller (drums, performance)
DETOX addresses musically, performatively and conceptually its own entanglement and that of art in general in the global flows of capital. DETOX creates frameworks for interpersonal relationships beyond the logic of money.
We want to promote awareness of the fact that listening and making music cannot only be understood as an end in itself, but that every aesthetic experience is always also entangled in the global system, in the logic of the global market.
Since February 2023, DETOX has been carrying out a monthly "wash", be it in the form of a short video, an improset or a pop-up event in public space.
In September we cooperate with two external artists and play an improset with perfromance artist and dancer Qiyun Zheng and with drummer Wieland Möller.
