Mutual Misunderstanding
Random Institute embarks with the theater director Marcus Rehberger on a pioneering experiment: leaving the audience in the dark, as well as the actors. Presenting a theater play that fully develops in pitch darkness it leaves the scenes to the imagination of the public. Well almost. Every few minutes the room is lightened for milliseconds by a flash, revealing an awe-inspiring scenery that proves again and again that imagination might be only a mutual misunderstanding.
ThoughtsThoughts
The Playtime festival centers around an elastic exhibition, a 12-hour sequence of presentations by international project spaces that experiment with temporality and visibility. Selected were art initiatives that dare to take risks in their programming and identify new trends in art which are often overlooked by institutional frameworks.
Each of these initiatives presents in its own unique way, a project that stretches the boundaries of space in which audience, art and artist collide.
Playtime is organized by K_nstvl___ Platform for Experimental Art Spaces.
