Clara Gesang-Gottowt / Lovisa Ivenholt
Wandering Landscapes
Clara Gesang-Gottowt and Lovisa Ivenholt are both true colour researchers.
They start with the oil paint itself and use the specific language of the brush to create their paintings. For both, the moods that the paint creates on the canvas are the answers to their search. Their works are created on the borderline between what is between what is depicted and what the colour and its forms evoke in us. For them, what is almost seen, what is felt, is important.
The exhibition at Werkhalle Wiesenburg is their first joint show.
Clara Gesang-Gottowt: “It will be fun to let my paintings and Lovisa’s paintings meet and to see how her dark and opaque painting communicates with my more atmospheric and transparent painting. I think we have a very similar starting point, that the process of painting is for both of us an intuitive wandering between different places, moods and emotional states. I am looking forward to seeing how these two wanderings meet!
Lovisa Ivenholt:“Clara’s light is ten minutes earlier than mine. Nevertheless, our pictures convey a similar mood – Clara catches the last of the sunlight, I catch the light of the city just after dusk”.
EVENTS 2023
Sunday 4 June 8pm
Trickster Sound Group
Immerse yourself in a world of sounds and colours. Ambient music, live acrylic animation.
Besides city walls, there is the sky above our heads and a world of fantasy and dreams that lives inside each of us. Through our multi-genre art project, we aim to convey a sense of who we really are.
Our musical performance is a magical collage created through electronic and live instruments. At the same time, the music is transformed into colourful images under the hands of an animation artist.

Resonance Art Trio
Ensemble biography
The “Resonance Art Trio” consists of the members Marc Kopitzki on viola, Franziska Aller on double bass and Moritz Ebert on cello. The three musicians got to know each other at the summer course of Resonance Teaching in 2018. Since spring 2019, they have been playing together regularly and continue to be trained in various forms of improvisation (free improvisation, jazz and folkloristic music) by the founder of the Resonance Teaching Thomas Lange. In the process, the “Resonance Art Trio” is constantly expanding its repertoire and is incessantly on the lookout for new musical influences.
The three members are also active outside of their formation in other bands and ensembles that are in contact with free improvisation and improvised music (including “Stegreif, “Ebert & Meyerhöfer”, “Conic Rose”, etc.). Exposed to these diverse and unique influences, the trio continues to develop the possibilities of improvised music.

Hybrid Sonic Biotopes
for Fieldrecordings & Konstruktion#4
Peter Cusack (Fieldrecordings) / Annette Krebs (Konstruktion#4)
Konstruktion#4 is a electro-acoustic live assemblage of metal pieces, strings, objects, microphones, tablets and sensors. Like through a microscope, microphones make audible the finest, otherwise inaudible sound shades and colours of the sound objects. Particles of sound and noise are transformed into neo-systopian organisms, sonic biotopes and hybrid sonic landscapes. (annettekrebs)
Peter Cusack is “DJ ing“ field recordings that he has recorded in many different places, live via a tablet (Lemur) to abstract soundscapes that sometimes remind of electronic music.
( crisap.org/people/peter-cusack | sounds-from-dangerous-places. )
In Duo, the sounds of Fieldrecordings, Konstruktion#4 and Werkhalle Wiesenburg itself are transformed into abstract, surreal and hybrid-organic resonating sonic landscapes.

Guilherme Rodrigues
Improvised Music
This ensemble explores the concepts of acoustic improvisation.
Made up of viola, flute and cello, the music produced by the trio creates intimate atmospheres with special attention to detail in textures and sounds in a small chamber ensemble setup.
Silence and acoustic space are two important factors in the match between acoustic materials.
The sound breaks out of the silence to dive back into it.
Ernesto Rodrigues – viola
Carlos Bechegas – flute
Guilherme Rodrigues – cello
