EXHIBITION versus LIVE PERFORMANCE:
The SKALAR exhibition and the SKALAR live performances stand as individual art pieces sharing a common setting.
The exhibition runs continuously with no specific beginning or end. It is arranged in a more meditative layout, encouraging the visitors to stay for an indefinite time, sit or lay down and drift as far away from everyday life and the outside world as possible.
The live performance is an extended and intensified version of the exhibition cycle. Eight basic human emotions will be performed as opposed to four in the daily show of the exhibition.
The concerts have a defined duration due to a dramaturgic development with alternating ambient and beat driven sections, paying tribute to the concert setting of a defined start and end point. The connection of beats and performative visuals play a more dominant role in the live setting. Everything is controlled, altered and arranged by Christopher Bauder and Kangding Ray in realtime on location. Eventually every live performance is slightly different.
Come and experience both faces of SKALAR - exhibition and live performance!
