The studios will be open afterwards.
CONCERT/PERFORMANCE
14:30: Schneider TM, research on the ruin of the “Baselitz-Piano”. The Künstlerhof Frohnau is in possession of a dismantled concert grand piano – more a ruin than an instrument – that is said to have once belonged to the artist Georg Baselitz, who in turn gave it to the founder of the Künstlerhof Dieter Ruckhaberle. Schneider TM aka Dirk Dresselhaus approaches this historical artefact as a sound researcher and attempts to bring it to life in a performance.
GUIDED TOUR
15:00: Guided tour through the studios of Künstlerhof Frohnau, with art historian Katarzyna Sekulla, meeting point at the entrance to the courtyard.
WORKSHOP/PERFORMANCE
16:00: With Nicola Jungsberger, “Letting trees speak to us”, duration 60 minutes. Start at the pavilion.
CONCERT
17:00, behind the Neubau, preceded by a short welcome address by district mayor Uwe Brockhausen: Andreas Voccia (modular synthesizer) / Sam Dunscombe (clarinet) / Alexander Frangenheim (double bass). The trio emerged from a quartet with the French pianist Fréderic Blondy. Advanced playing techniques and abstract electronics allow them to explore the boundaries between sound and noise and to transform this into a homogeneous overall sound.
GUIDED TOUR
18:00: Guided tour through the studios of Künstlerhof Frohnau, with art historian Katarzyna Sekulla, meeting point at the entrance of the courtyard.

FILM/INSTALLATION
13:00, Atelier 20: The artist duo Ojoboca (Anja Dornieden & Juan David González Monroy) present the project WINDOW FILM – A window frame with a motorised camera shutter. The blind rotates in front of the frame and creates a flicker effect that is visible in the room, so the view out of the window becomes a film. Light-sensitive sensors are placed in the room and the flickering of the shutter creates a signal that is converted into a sound that changes depending on the speed of the shutter. Further performance at 15:30.
PERFORMANCE
14:30, in the courtyard: “Domenica – Sunday”. Hye-Eun Kim (sound, voice, movement), Otto Oscar Hernández Ruiz (spatial design, percussion, voice, movement) and SHIN Hyo Jin (percussion, voice, movement) create a space-sound performance that associatively recalls ceremonial walk-throughs, rituals of narrative coming together and a shared catharsis. Each space inspires their improvisation-based interpretation of their sources anew.
CONCERT
16:00, Atelier 5: Lotte Henning (vocals) and Bardo Henning (voice, piano, composition), concert with songs based on texts by: Kurt Schwitters, Bert Brecht, Gertrude Stein, Erich Kästner, Joachim Ringelnatz and Mascha Kaleko, as well as selected jazz standards.
GUIDED TOUR
