A CASSETTE OF THIS PROGRAM CAN BE ORDERED FROM THE "ORF TONBANDDIENST"
Um die Serialisierung des Alltags, um öffentlichen und privaten Raum, um die
Erhebung des Trivialen auf eine Bühne geht es in der Koch- und Soundperformance
"Die wohltemperierte Küche". Urbanes Leben wird in der Regel mit dem, was sich
im öffentlichen Raum abspielt, identifiziert: Strassengeräusche, Geschäfts- und
Arbeitswelt. In dieser Live Performance und Radioarbeit wird der Blick
allerdings hinter die Fassaden gelenkt, mitten ins Herz von tausenden, in Summe
seriell stattfindenden Alltagshandlungen, in die Küche. The serialization of the everyday, public and private space, the elevation of the trivial onto a stage are topics dealt with in the cooking and sound performance "The well tempered kitchen". In general, urban life is identified with what happens in public space: street sounds, the worlds of business and labour. However, the live radiophonic performance guides the interest behind these facades, straight to the heart of the thousands of daily tasks and activities which, in total, take place serially into the kitchen. alien productions and the American radio and transmedia artist Steve Bradley have microphoned various cooking utilities, for instance pots, hot-plates, kettles etc. which they are using as instruments - together with interconnected electrical mixers - for tonight's performance at a small restaurant in Vienna's fourth district. The sounds which evolve and are produced whilst the artists are "cooking" are edited and amplified live; thus, the artists create a kind of composition of our everyday rituals. |
