IN DER KUBATUR DES KABINETTS - der kunstsalon im fluc zeigt: BAND

Mittwoch, 30. Juni

BAND is a four piece international outfit from England, Germany, Poland and the Philippines; It is a group which at once, is more and less than the sum of its parts.
Their cocksure presence and screeching noise make for a lethal
combination: everybody in one room thrashing it out as if there is no
tomorrow, let alone yesterday. BAND´s philosophy of action is to start
with very simple definitions even if they may need to be corrected later.
BAND was formed in early 2010 as a result of an interest in ridiculously
diverse topics such as strategies of display in art, mathematical Set
Theory, Dan Graham, and rock `n´ roll dramas, among others.
In a recent interview for Kuala Lumpur´s 666 magazine the members of BAND described their project:
“We’re into Venn Diagrams, they show all hypothetically possible relations between a finite collection of sets”says A. D corrects: “Its all about the pose, the right haircut, that leather jacket and a twist of the hips onstage.”
BAND member N adds in an afterthought: “I feel like the job of
the revolution is to smash stage sets, start fires in movie
theatres and then scream FIRE!”
BAND´s project for Fluc Wanne is composed of a sequence of interventions starting with colorful advertising and culminating with a twist of theconcert venue´s spatiality. Their interventions combine elegant mediastrategies with reflexive feedback systems. The evening is designed to be a complete sell-out with a sensitive touch: there will be posters and T-shirts, sounds and images, microphones and TVs, on-stage boredom and backstage hoopla. Philosophically, the event will relate to both functional program and to aesthetic form. It will be, literally, mathematics converted into space, rock `n´ roll bent into shape.
BAND´s stated ambition is to “just do these things and not worry about
looking like an asshole anymore.”
