On Wednesday, October 23 at 7:30 pm, Künstlerhaus Bremen invites you to a joint sound and movement performance by the two artists Frédéric Ehlers and Peter Strickmann as part of Peter Strickmann’s guest scholarship!
Since the end of September, this year’s Künstlerhaus Bremen guest artist Peter Strickmann has been working in the rooftop studio of the Künstlerhaus. Strickmann observes, questions and provokes the activity of listening in public and private environments. His installations, performances and actions are characterized by a simplicity of means and a philosophy of community. Listening - as a collective or highly individual activity - and sound production - as an unavoidable product of everyday life - form the cornerstones of his work.

For his final presentation, Strickmann has invited his artist friend Frédéric Ehlers to create a joint performance. Since 2010, the two artists have repeatedly collaborated and developed joint actions with dance, movement and performative sound acts, which they have realized in Stuttgart, Saarbrücken, Bamberg, Völklingen and Berlin. The actions were created in free improvisation under changing circumstances. In Bremen, they will present a performance that draws on the repertoire that they tried out in the days before in a joint process of open-ended experimentation and action. Costumes, objects, self-made instruments, voice and the found inventory of the house will be used.
