THE TRAGEDY OF THE APPLAUSE - Roubaix At the end of November, OHNO COOPERATION is presenting ‘The Tragedy of the Applause – Roubaix’. During this happening-cum-exhibition, OHNO COOPERATION and the artists it has invited will ask why pop music has never questioned itself. 26th, 27th and 28th November 2009 will be three days of sensory performance, when artists will produce work based on the question of the creation and perception of pop music. What remains are traces - sounds and images - which can be seen in the form of an exhibition at La Condition Publique in Roubaix until 23rd December. What the artists taking part have in common is that they ‘observe’ pop music. The questions they ask are those that real pop musicians never ask: ‘What is the meaning of a microphone? What is the meaning of feedback? Why do pop musicians all use the same lighting? Why do we all know the first three words of a pop song, but never what comes next? OHNO COOPERATION is inviting the artists to perform new songs, compositions and improvisations, playing the music themselves. |
