Friday (February 3), 19:00, ALTANA Galerie (Helmholtzstr. 9)

Singing Self-Organisation

A crowd of people is singing – without a given melody or rhythm, just with some key rules. A collective sound will evolve, those being part of it will be audience and choir at the same time. 

"Singing Self-Organisation" will be the world premiere of such a kind of experiment. It is the finissage event which officially closes the exhibition "terra incognita".

Sound artist Ulrike Sowodniok from Berlin and Grit Ruhland from Dresden have developed the project together with the ALTANA Galerie Dresden and the MPI-CBG. You do not need any skills to be part of the experiment - just be open.

Come and become part of the crowd!

There are three more live performances that night: „Paradies!“, „A Lifetime“ and a music performance by composer Frieder Zimmermann. Seize this last chance to see 50 exhibits of contemporary art, experiments, and installations.

This Must Be the Place

(Italy/France/Ireland 2011) - original English version with German subtitles-

Cheyenne, a wealthy former rock star (Penn), now bored and jaded in his retirement embarks on a quest to find his father's persecutor, an ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S. Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to arrive too late. Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now in death that he learns the true extent of his father's humiliation in Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller - an event he is determined to avenge. So begins a life-altering journey across the heartland of America to track down and confront his father's nemesis. As his quest unfolds, Cheyenne is reawakened by the people he encounters and his journey is transformed into one of reconciliation and self discovery. As his date with destiny arrives and he tracks down Muller, Cheyenne must finally decide if it is redemption he seeks ...

Empire Me

(Austria/Luxembourg/Germany 2011) - original English version with German subtitles -

Handmade utopias - a filmic search for the worldwide phenomenon of the micronation movement. Do-it-yourself states that have distanced themselves from the economic and political mainstreaming of globalization. A road movie covering land, water and the wildest realms of the imagination. Simultaneously creative documentary and pulsating cultural portrait, the film traces a new "unplugged" generation - their motives, their anxieties and their dreams. A film that shows how this generation realizes its escapist fantasies in new economic and political forms and how they collide with oppressive everyday realities.

Gerhard Richter: ATLAS

Gerhard Richter’s ATLAS merits a special place within his oeuvre as a whole. It not only forms the basis of his entire work as a painter but is also an autonomous artwork in its own right.  Born in Dresden on 9th February 1932, Richter has been constantly revising and augmenting this “work in progress” for more than four decades.

By 1964, Richter had collected a vast amount of pictorial source material for his painting, first keeping it in drawers and portfolios. Five years later he began to sift through this material with a critical eye, grouping the individual photographs, reproductions and sketches into different themes and pasting them onto separate panels. Richter then soon recognized the intrinsic artistic quality of these collections of source material and, in 1972, framed the panels and exhibited them at the Museum Hedendaagse Kunst in Utrecht under the title ATLAS. Meanwhile this repository of source material has grown from its original 343 panels to its present 783, with more than 8,000 individual motifs.
