The Shedhalle Party celebrates the entire Loving Shedhalle project: the exhibition Abundance, the book Resonance, and the website loving.shedhalle.ch featuring the digitization of the Shedhalle archive. We come together to engage in conversation across generations. The program includes a guided tour of the exhibition with Renate Cornu, the curator of the first exhibition at Shedhalle in 1985 called «Halle Sud» with artists from Geneva. Later, we will hear two contributions from the field of sound art: Blablabor is a collective that was present at the Shedhalle in the late 1990s, and the transdisciplinary artist and musician MELO has been a guest at the Shedhalle several times over the past five years as part of the ProtoZonen program.

With the sound performance “Hallo DAB+!”, Blablabor is setting up a workshop to generate and record FM noise for the new “Guerilla Radio” project. Small FM transmitters and portable radios are used as instruments. MELO invites you to a soundscape performance with “Interface One.” The starting point is the sound of the flute, which is transformed using the AIYA improvisation machine she developed. This creates a complex interplay and a fluid sound space between human and machine, between breath and algorithm. Dinner will follow.

Come and join us!

The event will take place in German and English.
