“Between” is a series departing from music-based practices, which takes place between exhibitions in the Kunstverein’s gallery spaces for the duration of 24 hours. Its fourth edition is programmed by Stanislav Iordanov and Moritz Nebenführ and focuses on the artist and musician Bruce Gilbert. In addition to a concert and conversation, the event will screen a selection of Gilbert’s musical works for ballet and film. Live sets by AJ Pain and Vera as well as a new performance work by Nikhil Vettukattil extend the scope.
Aside from his regular gig as guitar operator and lyricist in the band Wire, which he co-founded in the mid 1970s and ultimately resigned from in 2004, Bruce Gilbert has been making noise and sculpting sound as a member of a number of other (non-)groups and projects such as Dome, Cupol, MZUI, P’o, Duet Emmo, A.C. Marias, and IBM. His focused and uncompromising solo releases, meanwhile, are the curved crystal of genre-defining/defying electronic music. Many of the tracks to be found on his first four albums originated as scores for ballet, contemporary dance, and film, beginning with his hauntingly beautiful “Work For ‘Do You Me? I Did’” (1984), a commission for a piece of the same name by choreographer and frequent collaborator Michael Clark. After a veiled appearance during a Wire concert, whose shows occasionally borrowed from the vaudevillian antics of Dada, Gilbert was given the nickname Beekeeper, which he soon adopted as his DJ alias. As The Beekeeper he was resident at britpop incubator nightclub Disobey in the mid 1990s, where he played blacked-out optical media in a garden shed suspended above the dancefloor. While many musicians follow a certain trajectory after the first few records, Gilbert’s recent releases and live sets continue to open up new terrain. On Friday evening, he will join us at the Kunstverein for a very special performance of a new piece titled “The Secret of Futility”, which lends its name to the event.
