To hear on Sunday 6 and 13 January 2013, 2pm - 9pm:
TAGE
(2011-?)
Lifetime project
by Neele Hülcker and Elisabeth R. Hager
Curator: Knut Remond
'ohrenhoch - the Noise Shop' presents a particular project or undertaking at the beginning of the new year (ohrenhoch 5th anniversary year), namely "TAGE" ("DAYS"), a lifetime project by Neele Hülcker and Elisabeth R. Hager.
Neele Hülcker and Elisabeth R. Hager bound themselves by contract to pronounce the date every day making a sound recording of this act up to their death.
The spoken dates, from 2011 till the date of the presentation, will be presented on the special ohrenhoch loudspeaker installation, on the two Sundays 6 and 13 January 2013.
As the date proclamations are naturally growing from year to year, from month to month, ohrenhoch will present the project "TAGE" by Neele Hülcker and Elisabeth R. Hager in the course of the year 2013, in June and December.
"... we were interested in different aspects. On the one hand the existentialist aspect: with this project we directly engage with our life, and with our whole life. Project time and life time become one, the idea becomes part of our life, every day anew. We start out from the very personal and intimate, from our own voice, and point to something basic, concerning every person in this world: namely the expiring of life time, and physical decline. Art and life melt into each other by necessity: The artistically set constraint of recording the date will form the rest of our life - and at the same time our everyday life is an aspect of the recordings: states can be heard from the sound of our voices, background noises are heard, one will hear how our voices change in the course of time." (Neele Hülcker und Elisabeth R. Hager)
