M Leuven and STUK present the first edition of Hear Here Live. Expect a wide range of performances at the intersection of sound art, visual art and adventurous music. From museum hall to chapel to black box, Hear Here Live takes you on a multi-sensory parcours for both ear and eye.
On Friday, May 16, the day opens with talks & network lunch on archiving and presenting (historical) sound art. In the afternoon M will host performances by audiovisual duo Gwendolyn Lootens & Saif Al Qaissy, artist Cevdet Erek and musical monuments Mark Fell & Limpe Fuchs. Afterwards, the walk will move to KADOC’s chapel where Anouk Kellner will interact live with her organ installation, along with guest musicians Yannick Guédon & d’Incise. In the evening, Mihalis Shammas and Vica Pacheco showcase new performances with self-built instruments at STUK. (The programme (talks and performances in STUK) on Friday is completely sold out. You can attend the performances in M with a regular museum ticket - this is still possible).
On Saturday, May 17, Gwendolyn Lootens & Saif Al Qaissy and Cevdet Erek reprise their performance from Friday, alongside work by multidisciplinary artist Nazanin Noori and the mobile sound system De Zwerm (compositions by Stijn Dickel & Karen Willems). After Anouk Kellner’s second organ performance at KADOC, with guests Nils Vermeulen & Clara Cozzolino, the evening will culminate at STUK with the final concert by international improv band ØKSE and cellist Leila Bordreuil.
In addition, M resident Brahim Tall's show moment at M where he displays his sound system is accessible throughout.
Hear Here Live is a collaboration between M and STUK.
