April 18th - 21st // Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin (Mariannenplatz 2) // Free EntryStacks, tubes and conical apparatuses, for those engaged in the appreciation of sonic endeavours, are more than inanimate objects. Sound System Culture aims to shed light on the aspects of the sound system that extend beyond the PA system, to the group behind it that builds, operates, and creates the crucial interaction between social groups. These may be the crew, musicians, technicians, but also the local supporters of such scenes. When seen in such light, sound systems become an instrument to play music, a tool to create and change landscapes, to amplify statements, and eventually form cultures and communities.
Held in a festival format at the Kunstquartier Bethanien, the four day program invites you to get involved in the event through workshops, exhibitions, lectures, installations, performances and of course through moving to the sound.
We bring the academic discourse to the dance floor, the party to the lecture hall and the sound system as an art object to the gallery.
