« ABA's Air SALON »

Sakura Sakura / Joris Perdieus looks for, and investigates, points of contact between installation art, theater and scenography. Gradually he discovered the performative aspects in his way of working, they increasingly became the central subject of his method, which is distinctively cross-disciplinary. Joris made two parts for this radio show, each exactly one hour long. First up is 'Sonic Psychogeography 01 (Berlin 2020)', conceived as a collage of electronic sound, found footage and field recordings. The second hour is a piece of electronic Musique Concrète in the tradition of Luc Ferrari but it is equally inspired by ambient-house giants The Klf and tape-legend William Basinski.

ABA Air SALON is a radio format produced by Air Berlin Alexanderplatz, a Berlin based artist initiative dealing with the distribution and documentation of forms of collective and experimental knowledge production. The broadcasts come from different locations in Berlin where we organize salons. At these salons we meet with local actors, artists, scientists and other cultural producers to exchange around research based artistic projects and practices. You can find more information about our program at www.airberlinalexanderplatz.de
