A free-form lecture by Nina Canell, Robin Watkins & Friends
On Friday, 13 May at 9 p.m., Nina Canell and Robin Watkins & Friends will realize the 'free-form lecture' The Light & The Rock at Kunsthalle Fridericianum. As guests, Padraic E. Moore, Ana-Maria Hadji Culea, Dieter Roelstraete and Rein Wolfs will take part in the experimental performance. In addition, Nina Canell will present her newly published vinyl LP produced in conjunction with her current exhibition Ode to Outer Ends. Alluding to the final passage of Gustav Holst's musical piece Neptune, the Mystic (1916), in which the composer used what may be the first conscious "fade-out", Canell installed a passageway with doors between two exhibition rooms of the Kunsthalle Fridericianum. On Canell's LP, as in Holst's original version, the score is intoned by a women's choir, with the "fade-out" produced mechanically by slowly closing doors. The transparent ten-inch vinyl record has been issued in an edition of 100 and will be available on the evening of 13 May for a price of E 15 (the normal price is E 25). The exhibitions are open the entire evening. Begin 9 p.m., free admission
