Key players from Berlin’s cultural scene to perform at Polygon Gallery

Polygon Gallery12 Jan '18 to 27 Jan '18 @ 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM
  • Key players from Berlin’s cultural scene to perform at Polygon Gallery
The Polygon Gallery, a presenter of photography and media-based art, is collaborating with the Goethe-Institut, an institution with a mandate to promote to German culture abroad, to present a series of pop-up events in North Vancouver. Featuring Sven Marquardt and Robert Lippok—active players in Berlin’s thriving music scene since before the fall of the Wall—these events are a part of Germany @ Canada 2017 – Partners from Immigration to Innovation, a program that celebrates German-Canadian friendship, and sheds light on Germany's historical contribution to Canada's cultural mosaic.
 
The first event, taking place on January 12 and titled Black Box, is a photography show and installation featuring the work of Sven Marquardt and the music of Marcel Dettmann. Marquardt is best known as the notoriously discerning doorman at Berghain nightclub—the epicentre of Berlin’s vibrant dance music scene. DJ-producer Marcel Dettmann is recognized as one of the most influential figures in contemporary techno. 
 
Sven Marquardt will be in attendance for this event and will deliver an artist talk led by Attila Richard Lukacs at 8:00 pm. At 9:00 pm attendees are invited to enter the Black Box, an immersive chamber of Marquardt’s photography and Dettmann’s music.
 
The second event, taking place on January 27, features a music workshop and performance by Robert Lippok. Visual artist and avant-garde composer Lippok has been an influential player in Berlin’s thriving experimental music scene since 1983. Robert Lippok will be in attendance for this event and will lead a workshop at 5:00 pm. Amateurs and professionals alike are invited to come and create with their laptops or voices. Everyone will work on sound objects of various lengths that will be combined into to a sonic structure that will be performed at 9:00 pm. All participants will receive a CD-R with a recording of the performance. At 10:00 pm Robert Lippok will do a solo performance.
