LA PLAQUE TOURNANTE (composers and sound artists FRÉDÉRIC ACQUAVIVA and LORÉ LIXENBERG) were delighted to present every first Saturday of the month
(from April 5 to Dec 6) a series of 9 exhibitions and events at THE OUTSIDERS GALLERY in London, after their initial location in Berlin-Neukölln.
This event marks the end of this series (hello, bonjour) of LA PLAQUE TOURNANTE in this space. We thank all of the people that didn't come. We don't like you anyway.
You are not interested in anything but scrolling on your smartphone and making selfies of your twat face. Anyway, you can't even read this text, so who cares.
For those of you who are still reading this and seeking for what Dick Higgins called "something else" and interested in the works of others, you are welcome to discover:
FRÉDÉRIC ACQUAVIVA (born somewhere, sometime ago).
"I know some people prefer SPOTIFY - sponsors of the military industrial complex - and have maybe never encountered some physical records (CDs, fake vinyls, QR-Code editions, cassettes, USB, hybrids, artist books) but these are some of the works I have published since 1994. On the walls. Up to your arse. You don't want them? Even better!
On the wall opposite, I have displayed books I've written on other artists, because I believe an artist should not only be interested in their own belly button".
PRÊT À CHANTER TM – The Café
LORÉ LIXENBERG, who recently was awarded the John Cage Award for Contemporary Performance, will present at 5PM her
of The VOICE PARTY. You are welcome to attend PRÊT À CHANTER TM, the café where nobody speaks. In a post linguistic society where language has collapsed, speech is antisocial.
Speech is toxic. Speech is banned. Sound has taken over. For one hour, everyone, barstaff, guests, pets, communicate only through sound: humming, yodelling, groaning, whistling, barking. PRICES ARE SET BY CREATIVITY. Meaning is optional. Participants: anyone brave enough to order a drink. Genre: post-internet, post-cyborg, post-language, real-time opera. No speaking in the toilets. The anti-speak detector is listening.
MEET FRÉDÉRIC ACQUAVIVA FROM NOON TO 5PM MEET AND SING WITH LORÉ LIXENBERG FROM 5PM TO 6PM
