Δ CONCERT IN THE EXHIBITION

“In C” (by Terry Riley)
performed by students of the University of Music and Performing Arts  Frankfurt (HfMDK) with the Institute of Contemporary Music IzM

“In C” by Terry Riley, which dates from 1964, is a semi-aleatoric piece of music regarded as one of the earliest examples of minimal music. In Riley’s composition, one can find associative connections between music and the ‘textile’ way of thinking. The piece also has a ‘common thread’ providing a structure. At the same time, it allows space for flexible interpretations in how the piece is realised – in a similar way to producing textiles based on a model.

As the result of a workshop with Megumi Kasakawa (viola player in the Ensemble Modern), “In C” is performed by students at the University for Music and Performing Arts Frankfurt (HfMDK) in the exhibition THE COMMON THREAD.

A cooperation between the Weltkulturen Museum and the Institute of Contemporary Music IzM at the University of Music and Performing Arts Frankfurt (HfMDK).

Δ CURATOR’S GUIDED TOUR “THE COMMON THREAD”

With Julia Friedel (curator Africa, Weltkulturen Museum)

Threads, materials and patterns are taken for granted as a natural part of our daily life. Around the world, textile ideas and terms shape our language, narratives, stories and myths. The making of textiles stimulates our spatial and mathematical thinking.
Taking the museum’s textile collections from the Americas, South East Asia, Oceania and Africa as a basis, curator Julia Friedel reflects on and presents the culturally diverse techniques of textile production.
