Meta Marie Louise Feat. Julie Dassaud @ Kulter 26/09/12
@Dejacopis @TheC Amsterdam
If you think that Performance Art and Happenings are, well not happening anymore and they are only in the pages of some catalogue from the 60’s, you simply are not looking around. “Kulter” defines itself as a proeflokaal, literally a tasting space. An experimental outlet right in the middle of Bos en Lommer in Amsterdam, an area densely populated yet often out of the cultural radar. You are still on time though, so hop on your bike and face a bit of the chilling fall and the reward will be an intimate and hypnotizing impromptu performance from a trio of swiss jazz musicians and the Lady of the Kulter herself: Julie. The combo is comprised of the most daring post-modern musicians you could be hearing at the Bimhuis; Marc Stucki on the Saxophone, mixing spoken words with voice loops ranging from crumbles of noises to heavy coughing yet profoundly poetic and entrancing. Kevin Chesham and his playful, free flowing, mature drumming style. Manuel Engel, a chameleonic keyboard and synth player, capable to recreate the sweetest melodies a moment before getting wild and uncontrolled.
And to top this all, you will not be able to take your eyes off Julie and her slow, thoughtful, pure Action painting. At times it feels like she’s following the music, every line a note. In other moments she will appear lost in a black glass of indian Ink, but look closer: the lines are geometric, dancing with the space around. A series of ideograms, letters to form sentences you might be able to read only by closing your eyes. Tasting is after all, a slow and continuous flow of our senses.
Meta Marie Louise and Julie will be performing at Kulter also on the 27th and 28th of September.
