Between is a series curated by Gloria Hasnay, departing from music-based practices and taking place in the Kunstverein München’s galleries between two exhibitions for the duration of 24 hours. Its third iteration is conceived by composer and artist Klein. Often blurring the lines between autobiographical and fantasy, Klein through her performances, films, video games, and websites creates a sensory world that melds reference points from pop culture and news media with personal associations. Unfolding over a week, this edition of Between entitled the roads were active is partly scripted, partly guided through sculpture, improvisation, text, and sound.
The opening performance on Saturday, April 30, is a new play, in part recreating scenes from Klein’s 2021 feature length film Care. It features Abondance Matanda, Dayax, and Klein and combines elements of choreographed movement, sculpture, sound, improvisation, and drama as a tool to unveil a portrait of social care. The closing performance on Friday, May 6 is be by Jah Umbrella, the shifting monikers of artist Curtly Thomas. Looking at sound as a site of deep-narrative, he uses sonic-scientific techniques borrowed from dub and noise to disrupt, unearth, and communicate in live music settings.
