Sonic Berlin

2007, mixed media performance and installation

September 17 and 18

Superbien Greenhouse for Contemporary Art

Berlin, Germany

​

Like its precursors Sonic Godiva (New York CIty) and Sonic Peekskill, SONIC BERLIN was a site-specific “blockbuster concert” that incorporated both live bands and recorded music inside the Superbien greenhouse. Covered with one-way mirror glass, the musicians are able to see out at the viewers but not vice-versa, thus imparting a feeling of dissatisfaction and negation to the experience. The greenhouse acted as a public jam space for musicians, who were invited to come play a set as they pleased.
