Parallel, Haus der Kunst will show a new work by the artists on 13 June (to 14 September) STOP, REPAIR, PREPARE: VARIATIONS ON ODE TO JOY FOR A PREPARED PIANO.
At centre of this cycle of works, which were created over the last two years, is the critical examination of music’s appropriation within the historical as well as contemporary context of warfare.
