In its fourth edition, the performance festival DOPUST Vienna 2018 / Days of Open Performance presents itself for the first time as an artistic “music score”, the programme of which is arranged at different locations in Vienna on the topic of sound. Just like image, sound can also open an unimaginable number of new dimensions. What is the meaning of tone – is it a piece of sound, part of melody, or merely a tool? The visitors will be given the opportunity to explore the manners in which sound and hearing shape our everyday lives, tradition, and history.

Sound art is the most direct way of artistic engagement – literally with the eyes closed.
Music can influence our senses without any reason or explanation. Sound art, the artistic interaction between art and music, floats between the borders of interpretation that can be expanded to the extreme. DOPUST Vienna sheds a light on the different approaches and perspectives of music expressions in performing arts.

The featured artworks are engaged in the various interactions of sound, space, time and movement, from sound sculptures to scenic performance, thereby deconstructing the listening habits. Some artists explore sound in its pure form – whereby the borders between sound, noise, and music are crossed and blurred – or its social, cultural, and political implications.

DOPUST Vienna features electronic music, sound experiments (noise, audio-video installations, drone) punk, underground and Rap. Performances, music interventions, sound and speech experiments, a project in collaboration with students of the University of Applied Arts, artist talks, screenings, and discussions will be presented at the intersection of art and music. The mutual influence and interaction between music and visual arts will be explored, as well as the range of sound and music in open and closed spaces.

The festival programme is also aimed at the activation of students of the University of Applied Arts via OPEN CALL. Such range of activities is important so as to mediate the artistic and creative power of the students on the Viennese scene to commercial galleries, galleries with an experimental approach, and alternative underground locations.

DOPUST Vienna 2018 will be held at different locations in Vienna: on the underground scene, in academic educational institutions, art galleries, off-spaces, and in open space. The invited artists come from both fields – visual arts and music.

The opening ceremony will be held at AU and “bad weather report” will be on display in Zentrale on Thursday evening. The synergies will especially come to the fore during the Freihausviertel Festival in Wieden District (28-30 June). Two stages for scenic and music performances will be set up in Schleifmühlgasse Street / Galerie Michaela Stock, gallery 12-14) and divergent sound installations can be explored in Studio Mollay Bibawy.

The festival programme will be rounded up with a “Sound Brunch” and discussions held by artists and renowned experts (Salzmann, Schimana, Smirnov, Zimmermann) who will address the scope and perspectives of sound. An attempt will be made to make visible and interconnect the overall cultural scene that is not part of the already-established cultural framework – in Vienna, but also outside of Austria – regardless of its commercial exploitability.  Translation: Mirta Jurilj
