Takeover Thursday - Becoming Audible

Join us for an eclectic Takeover Thursday for each exhibition at the Konschthal. These events are an opportunity to rediscover the exhibitions through the perspective of our guests. Each evening is unique - conceived by participants working in various fields, it revolves around changing themes related to the exhibitions. Through concerts, readings, encounters, performances, workshops, and much more, the Konschthal reinvents itself.

The exhibition état bruit explores noise as a sensory, social and political material. Beyond its sonic dimension, noise becomes a tool of resistance, a space for negotiation and a way of inhabiting the world. Through works that question listening, speech and power relations, the exhibition invites us to rethink our relationship to sound and to what it makes audible, or, conversely, what it renders invisible.

For this edition, Konschthal invites Géisskan Kollektiv and Tintin Patrone to imagine an evening where spoken word, writing, and sonic experimentation come together. In the lead-up to the Takeover, Géisskan Kollektiv will host a four-day slam writing workshop, inviting participants to explore their surroundings through their senses, translate these experiences into words, and ultimately bring them to life through their voices. During the Takeover, the works created through this collective process will be shared with the audience in the form of slam performances. The workshop will culminate in a collective performance featuring singer Carmen Luisa, presented to the public during the Takeover Thursday evening.

Slam is an art form that requires no props or accessories, offering a space for self-expression in which equal speaking time ensures everyone's right to be heard.

In dialogue with this collective performance, STÜHLE, Tintin Patrone's new creation with a sonic experience by ZarԻT , stages an encounter between an electric wheelchair, chairs and algorithmic systems. Drawing on sounds, objects and the surrounding environment, the performance weaves a unique narrative that reflects on listening, mobility and forms of coexistence between humans, objects and technology.

Carmen Luisa is a Cuban-Hungarian singer-songwriter based in Luxembourg whose music blends R&B, pop, and soul with jazz influences. Inspired by her Cuban roots, she brings her passion to life alongside musicians from Cuba, Luxembourg, and France. Following her appearance as a finalist in the Luxembourg Song Contest, she is launching her solo career with the release of her debut single in mid-October. Carmen Luisa will present a 30-minute performance, sharing her musical universe and the expressive power of her voice.

Since 2014, Géisskan Kollektiv has been developing slam stages and performance literature events, enriching the cultural landscape with a diversity of voices and perspectives.

Christina Koehler, who works under the name Tintin Patrone, is a German-Filipino sound and performance artist. She explores the intersections of music, art, sound, and experimental forms of expression. Her artistic practice centres on sound as a cultural system and its ability to create personal and social connections. By incorporating robots and artificial intelligence into her work, Tintin Patrone questions established notions of human subjectivity and physical presence. Through the integration of these technological elements, she seeks to move beyond outdated concepts of "human nature" and to develop new perspectives that evolve alongside contemporary advances in science and technology.
