Sam Belinfante - On Falling Short

Free admission, no booking required
Performance as part of the international conference Jean Tinguely Revisited. Critical Re-Readings and New Perspectives


Taking the broken beats of the ellipsis as starting points, On Falling Short is a musical exploration of falling, failing and flailing—embracing processes of collapse and letting things go. Prepared and articulated by chance operations, these movements will draw on the work of Tinguely and his contemporaries while creatively embracing Belinfante's own productive shortcomings. 

Featuring unprepared contributions by local musicians.

The performance will be followed by a Q&A with Sam Belinfante and the curator, Tabea Panizzi.
