Kunsthalle x Lunchmeat: Aw!Lab—from scratch! 2.0
A second collaboration between Lunchmeat Studio and Kunsthalle Praha brings an evening of live audio-visual improvisation by visual and musical artists. In the gallery, inspired by the current Strange Attractions exhibition by London’s United Visual Artists.
CODE–MOVEMENT–GRAVITY
The unique experimental performance Aw!Lab—from scratch! invites you to experience artistic creation using digital technologies. Everyone starts working from scratch – "from scratch". The live creative process will be accompanied by musicians whose improvisations will enter into a dialogue with the projections on the vast surfaces of Gallery 3. The main theme is visual programming. During the evening, the artists will create new compositions focusing on questions of gravitational forces and their unpredictable patterns.
The evening is curated by Lunchmeat Studio, and Kunsthalle Praha.
