As part of Kunstmuseum St. Gallen’s exhibition “Sweet Days of Discipline” by artist Camille Henrot, three works of mine are exhibited at LOK. A three-channel sound installation floods the exhibition space with familiar, yet alienating sounds and noises heard by a child in a state of hyper-focus: a dog scratching its ears, buzzing bees, a parental “sh!”. Security personell of the museum hum lullabies for visitors, blurring the lines between cold authority and care. And at last, a chamber choir piece, performed on site and throughout the year, complement the show, curated by Nadia Veronese, running from June 10 through November 5, 2023.

Basel based Lemniscate Ensemble are taking the newly commissioned ensemble piece Longtermism on their concert stops through Bern, Zurich and Basel from May 8-10, 2023.

Longtermism is composed along the musical childhood memories of the musicians of the ensemble. Each one of them operates a cassette player filled with lullabies, their early pieces, scales and memories of teacher’s instructions. They play along their own musical past, interweaving the musical now of the concert with their earliest acts as musicians.
