First and foremost, we are fans.
We are fans of Maryanne Amacher.
Being a fan means sharing a fascination, showing interest, and mutual engagement. Being a fan can begin in a very casual way, sparked by a feeling, or emerge from years of deep involvement with Amacher’s practice.
For an entire day, we will gather fans—welcome new ones and invite long-time followers to exchange their thoughts. Together, we aim to reconstruct the relationship between Berlin’s institutions and the US artist. We will listen to archival materials, trace connections, and find rhythms. This involves holding on to and letting go of how something reaches the ear, using movement to pay attention to shifts in our acoustic environment, and exploring how the presence of others shapes our listening experience.
Over the course of twenty-four hours, interventions, discussions, and activations will converge into a choreography of listening, marked by circulation, exhaustion, and pauses.
With: DAF (Michael Akstaller, Theresa Hartmann, Rudyard Schmidt, Anouk Albrecht, and Silja Beck, Paul Wick), Luka Aron, Barbara Bloom, Bill Dietz, Agustín Genoud, Yara Mekawei, and others
