Event information
Mark Fell & Robin Mackay workshop: The Anatomy of Practice
Time: 4pm – 5:30pm
Max number of attendees: 7
Requirements: Please bring sheets of A2 good quality paper + marker pens
Led by multidisciplinary artist Mark Fell and philosopher Robin Mackay, this workshop will take up major themes from Fell’s book Structure and Synthesis: The Anatomy of Practice, with a particular focus on the relationship between ‘theory’ and ‘practice’, the cognitive and the productive. The workshop’s group-based activities, exercises and discussions will aim to critically examine beliefs about creative practice, and also the spaces and systems intended to facilitate and contain those practices, in the hope of identifying and confronting foundational beliefs about what it is to create new work—and exploring alternatives.
Play-workshop with Limpe Fuchs
Time: 6:15pm-7:45pm
Max number of attendees: 10
Requirements: Bring your own instrument
“I invite the participants to play my instruments – 3 pendelstring instruments, Serpentinit stone row, 4 tube drums, soprano kettledrum and small percussion pieces – and they can bring their own instruments.
First I show possibilities of playing with the different tools and after a period of trying – everyone is allowed to – starts the “playing or listening”: Only three are playing, the others are listening. When all have played in different combinations, we decide how to go on.
It is important to stay simple, so that the instruments are treated with love and the skill of ones hands is not overstrained.
It has to be in balance between chaos and order.
When surety of handling the tools and precision of listening is growing, starts nonverbal communication with music.“

Limpe Fuchs
Limpe Fuchs (Germany) studied piano, percussion and violin in Munich and was influenced by avant-garde compositions of Murray Schaefer and John Cage. She started her career in the seventies as part of the duo, Anima Musica, together with her former husband the sculptor and sound artist Paul Fuchs, later on Limpe formed the duo Consonanza Personale with pianist Friedrich Gulda.
In the 20 years cooperation with Paul Fuchs, she developed her own instrumental equipment, experimenting with metal, wood and stone.
From 1989 Limpe started her unique solo performance, which includes sound experimentation and free improvised music using her self-built instruments that require the audience’s attention, using both eyes and ears, while she is walking freely between the various instruments, evoking landscapes of sound, using her voice like birds.
