'ohrenhoch - the Noise Shop' presents at the Kunstfestival 48 Stunden Neukölln 2016 to the festival theme "SATT", and on two more ohrenhoch Sundays:
ACTIVE COLORIZE
full of contemporary
by the ohrenhoch-Kids and Knut Remond
Director, idea, concept: Knut Remond
"ACTIVE COLORIZE" - full of contemporary manifests itself with imagination and wit, is courageous, dazzling and inventive, surfeited with exchange of ideas, juicy with life, stuffed with ideas and colored with Utopia!
The ohrenhoch-Kids together with refugee children present a cornucopia of speech, voices and ideas from their Think Tank, by humans for humans.
Opening hours 'ohrenhoch' at 48 Stunden Neukölln 2016:
Friday 24 June: 2pm - 11pm
Saturday 25 June: 2pm - 10pm
Sunday 26 June: 2pm - 7pm
“Active Colorize” additional ohrenhoch Sundays:
Sundays 3 and 10 July: 2pm - 9pm
Unimpressed by swaggering fattened blockheads, moments of delight are thriving at 'ohrenhoch'.
The ohrenhoch-Kids together with refugee children and adolescents present "Active Colorize". These are rich, coloured sound processes, pictures and diagrams - a cornucopia crammed with innumerable segments, which are improvised and composed, and presented as a sound installation, by humans for humans.
"Active Colorize" is an activated, heterogenous, stuffed denseness. It's about hearing, listening and being heard. In this project in cooperation with Berlin Mondiale, at ohrenhoch a wonderful collaboration grew from January to June between the original ohrenhoch-Kids (since 2008) and the refugee children - the New ohrenhoch-Kids. They developed their own Think Tank: a dazzling, full sound-space-picture installation. A conglomerate leaded into the presentation or sound installation for 48 Stunden Neukölln.
Starting from German words that were translated by the Kids into Arab, Farsi, English, French and Finnish, and written on a paper on the wall. The language, the words are a bridge building to a playful context together with writing, drawing, photographing, embedded with tiny little electro-acoustic sound compositions.
We are sated, fainthearted, and stupid idiots! We destroy ourselves, and aren't aware. In our so-called cultural diversity and historic responsibility, we have to concentrate on new paths and on the ability for being imaginative. This is also my endeavor with the ohrenhoch-Kids: to support abilities, and as an ohrenhoch-Kid said: "Life is art, and art is life". Instead we meet other people with agitation, with verbal and physical violence, and with war deployment we destroy not only humans with great potential but all of us.
