Fredagar på Sibbe: Charlemagne Palestine
The Sibelius Museum, Turku
- 20.9.2024 (19.00–20.00)
The Sibelius Museum and the Museum of Sound will present a special performance of Charlemagne Palestine in the concert hall of the Sibelius Museum in Turku
The experimental artist and composer Charlemagne Palestine (b. 1947) is a living legend and has been part of shaping sound performances in art and experimental music. He was part of the experimental music and art scene in New York in the 60s together with colleagues such as Tony Conrad, Pandit Pran Nath and the filmmaker Kenneth Anger. He has made several performances in collaboration with the acclaimed dancer and choreographer Simone Forti. He uses instruments such as organs, carillon, the grand piano and toy machines in his performances. His performances are installation-like which include soft toys, teddy bears and textiles. The soft toys and teddy bears are a key component in Palestine’s work, serving as co-performers and are individuals in their appearances.
His performances can be characterized as soulful and expressionist, through sounding drones, whereas the sound functions as a sculpture in the room.
NB. Concert tickets cannot be bought with the Museum Card.
