What can be played...
Kunstverein Munchen, Munich
We play; what can't be played, we think about. A collective experience through individual ingenuity, improvisation and play
The events program ''What can be played, we play; what can't be played, we think about'', takes a seminal episode in Munich's history as its Leitmotif. On the occasion of the 1972 Olympic Games, British avant-garde composer Cornelius Cardew (7 May, 1936 - 13 December, 1981) established a controversial break with the canon of music with his collective mode of composing. His 'Scratch Orchestra,' performed that year at the BR (Bayerischer Rundfunk/Bavarian Broadcasting), favored a graphic score over the traditional sheet-music, allowing anyone to take part and play along. what can be played, we play; what can't be played, we think about revisits sound's capacity to constitute a collective experience through individual ingenuity, improvisation and play.
