Germany: Unexpected Territories – David Tudor

Exhibitions, Concerts, Conference, Workshops

The series »unexpected territories« by singuhr — projekte explores the traces of the American interpreter, composer, performer and pioneer of live electronics David Tudor (1926-1996). Tudor is one of the central figures in the American and international music scene after the second world war.

The focus of »unexpected territories« is on the concrete-practical effects of Tudor’s ideas, utopias and works in the present. Tudor’s artistic companions, collaborators, selected sound artists and composers are invited to both re-perform Tudor’s works and reflect on David Tudor’s works and concepts and to work with them in new artistic productions. The program presents five exhibitions, seven concerts, three workshops and a conference.
