A sound thread for Wolfgang Sophie
Musical intervention by Cornelia Ottinger
for the exhibition Wolfgang Sophie.
Hommage à Sophie Taeuber-Arp by Wolfgang Nestler
Kunstraum Krüger Berlin, Hohenstaufenstraße 67, 10781 Berlin
August 7, 2021 – 8:00 p.m.
Wolfgang Nestler’s installation at Kunstraum Krüger is full of energetic input to receive,
to explore, to experiment, to move, to resonate.
Musician Conny Ottinger exposes herself to that speaking world and lets us participate in her encounter with Wolfgang Nestler’s visual inspiration and his dialogue with Sophie Taeuber.
“I sit at the round table.
I don’t do anything. I wait. I listen. I follow.
The big clasp gets a movement impulse.
It swings with itself in duet.
I keep eye contact with Sophie’s doll.
I open my mouth, listen to the doll, and it sings.
The force of the large disc and its tenderness fascinate me.
Then I watch and play the circular score…”
