ABOUT THE MASTERS

CATHERINE CHRISTER HENNIX (US/SE) is a composer, philosopher, mathematician
and visual artist. In the 1960s and 1970s she worked with illustrious
figures such as La Monte Young and Pandit Pran Nath who were very important
for her own work. She has frequently collaborated with the American
anti-art philosopher, composer and violinist Henry Flynt. Hennix also drew
inspiration from Japanese Gagaku music and the early vocal music of
Perotinus and Leoninus. All her major compositions, including The Electric
Harpsichord, are regarded as part of an ongoing, endless cycle.

PETER KUBELKA (AT) is a multifaceted artist and theoretician who has worked
in film, cooking, music, architecture, speech and writing. He communicates
through lectures, which also use non-verbal elements ‘to free our world
view from being the exclusive property of language’. Kubelka’s
cinematographic work is short and highly condensed. His ‘Metric Films’
preceded and laid the foundations for structural cinema.
Kubelka will lead a masterclass on film & cooking.

OLAF NICOLAI (DE) is a German artist whose conceptual approach and use of
diverse media question the way in which we view our everyday environment.
He also translates theories from science and the arts into
aesthetic-artistic idioms, rendering them accessible in a new context. His
works deal with the perception of time in the reception of art. Nicolai has
participated in international solo and group exhibitions. His works were
shown at Documenta X, and at the 49th and 51st Venice Biennales. Several of
his works can be found in public collections, such as the Museum of Modern
Art / New York; Thyssen Bornemisza Art Contemporary /Vienna; Friedrich
Christian Flick Collection / Berlin and Migros Museum / Zürich.

PAULINE OLIVEROS (US), composer, performer and humanitarian, is an
important pioneer in American music and electronic music. She has explored
sound for five decades, breaking new ground for herself and others. Through
improvisation, electronic music, ritual, teaching and meditation she has
created a body of work with such breadth of vision that it profoundly
affects those who experience it.
Pauline Oliveros will lead a Deep Listening session.

TINO SEHGAL (DE/UK) is a British-German artist whose works, which he calls
‘constructed situations’, involve one or more people carrying out
instructions conceived by the artist. What all of Sehgal's works have in
common is that they reside only in the space and time they occupy, and in
the memory of the work and its reception. The artist himself describes his
works as 'constructed situations', whose materials are the human voice,
language, movement, and interaction, without the production of physical
objects. His pieces are choreographies that are regularly staged in museums
or galleries, and continuously executed for the entire duration of a show.
In 2012, he will present a newly commissioned work for the Turbine Hall at
Tate Modern, London.
