Series of events "Tuned City" discovers sound and space of Tallinn

BC, Tallinn, 08.07.2011.Print version

Events of "Tuned City" offer exhibitons, screenings and presentations at MÄRZ Project Space, as well as a selection of site-specific projects and walks throughout the capital of Estonia, as a cultural fund Tallinn 2011 reports.

 

Further, a variety of workshops will be offered in close collaboration with a partner of "Tuned City" – a project space located in the Old Town "Ptarmigan".

 

All workshops are free of charge.

 

During the main program, a diverse program of lectures, presentations, performances, installations, and site-specific projects will be offered to the public, writes LETA.

 

A fascinating cross-section of international artists, performers, scientists and thinkers will be brought together to present their approaches to sound and space. Further, "Tuned City" has invited four vibrant contemporary performers for a series of evening concerts. Charles Curtis, Charlemagne Palestine, Thomas Ankersmit and Maja S.K. Ratkje will address the topic of sound and space through four individual music performances. Each artist will play his/her instrument – the cello, the organ, the saxophone and voice – and engage in dialog with a variety of spaces, from the warm, wooden intimacy of a 14th century horse mill to the cold, concrete depth of Soviet-era industrial structures.

 

All events are free of charge except the evening concerts.
