From the 30th January to the 5th February, various venues across the city will be hosting concerts, exhibitions and discourses as part of CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts. This is the thirteenth edition of the Festival, and as always the CTM is running in parallel to and in cooperation with transmediale – Berlin’s festival for art and digital culture (25 years old this year – happy birthday guys!).
Here’s some more on CTM.12:
In addition to a comprehensive music program at HAU, Berghain, Passionskirche, Gretchen, Kater Holzig, .HBC and Horst Krzbrg, a discourse series developed in collaboration with the philosopher, psycho-historian and author Andreas L. Hofbauer will address the festival’s theme by pursuing questions concerning art, theory, and music.
Ghosts Off the Shelf is an exhibit created by the curator, art critic, and architect Thibaut de Ruyter at the Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien, and explores the artistic use of the exponentially growing capacities of technical archives and their “inherent ghosts”. The exhibit opens on 27 January as part of Vorspiel, a comprehensive partner program within which a number of independent Berlin art, music, and media spaces will present their activities.
