"Character Bytes: Kubota & Sutherland"
Film/Soundperformance
As a European premiere W. Mark Sutherland will show six videos at the Kunstvereinsheim which all originated in cooperation with Nobuo Kubota. Kubota is one of Canada's most well-known improvising free-style performance artists and musicians. Despite the differences in their ages and cultural backgrounds, the two artists share the desire to widen the possibilities of human expression, whereby they are united by the elements of space and silence.
