You can visit the installation Stripe by Cocky Eek, on Saturday 7 June and Sunday 8 June. Daily from 13:00-18:00.
Aki Onda
Aki Onda is an electronic musician, composer, and visual artist currently living in New York. He is particularly known for his Cassette Memories project – works compiled from a “sound diary” of field-recordings collected by Onda over a span of two decades. Onda’s musical instrument of choice is the cassette Walkman. However, for this event it is likely to be more instrument based, highlighting his eclectic musical knowledge and skill.
Onda has collaborated with artists such as Michael Snow, Ken Jacobs, Paul Clipson, Alan Licht, Loren Connors, MV Carbon, Oren Ambarchi, Noël Akchoté, Jean-François Pauvros, Jac Berrocal, Lionel Marchetti, Linda Sharrock, and Blixa Bargeld.
Cocky Eek
Cocky Eek started experimenting with lightness and flight by building replicas of da Vinci's wings and physically trying them out. She studies and captures the dynamics of air, pneumatics and airflow by developing membranes and surfaces. Her approach blends quite naturally with dancer and choreographer Kenzo Kusuda who explores the dynamics and movement of the body in similar ways and in similar depth.
Kenzo Kusuda
Netherlands-based Japanese choreographer / dancer Kenzo Kusuda reveals poetry through the dancing body. Kusuda takes the audience to a world filled with imagination. His work is possessed by a mystic beauty that lies beyond the perception of our physical senses. With the body's movement on an almost empty stage, he is able to reveal the invisible through his very personal and intense movement language.
