DADA L!VE: Experimentation Celebration
Thu 04 Aug 2016, 8 pm
ATK
From the organizer:
To celebrate the 100th year anniversary of Dada, join Doclab on a 2-hour journey where we will explore the video works of the movement with a live semi-improvised interpretation from following musicians:
Cabaret Maxim was formed in 2015 when two French friends from childhood, separated for 1 year, met again in Vietnam. Live saxophone/Sopranino improvisations over a deep disco/funky/housy soulful mix is what Cabaret Maxim is.
– Born and raised in Paris, Antoine has been playing drums since he was 14 and is now a 10 year year-experienced DJ who started producing music.
– Maxime, also a very experienced musician, has been playing saxophone intensely during the past years and brought his Sopranino from California.
DUY
Hải Duy is an accomplished musician, with a background in jazz drumming and percussion. This outlook has a clear influence on his confronting and electrifying solo performances. Duy’s sonic exploration takes the listener deep into unknown territory, blending complex rhythms with gritty intense textures to build a wall of sound that transports and inspires.
PABLO YANG
Materialist discourse states that the task of the artist is significant form, but only if culture is interchangeable with reality. Thus, Marx uses the term ‘constructivism’ to denote not, in fact, narrative, but neonarrative. The premise of Marxist socialism holds that culture is fundamentally a legal fiction. Therefore a Bataillesque, but constructivistic approach to diatonic music is designed to undermine the status quo of neonarrative Materialism.

QUAN
Nguyễn Đỗ Minh Quân is one of Hanoi’s most innovative experimental musicians. His output spans myriad styles, from deep minimal techno, through to uplifting experimental soundscapes. Quan has a unique ability to manipulate his hardware and software spontaneously, creating an improvised sound world that is original and different every time.

About Dada:
This year marks a 100th year anniversary of Dada, a movement of free experimentation that cannot be reduced to one single form of expression, and therefore is almost impossible to define. As one of the founders of the movement, Tristan Tzara, stated – Dada means nothing. This new anti-art approach opened the door for personal freedom of expression of artists, which ultimately shaped today’s contemporary art as we know it.
Dadaist films break the usual rules of conventional filmmaking – they are non-narrative, nonsensical, experimental both in form and in content. They often play with motion and montage.
At DADAL!VE we will present works by Man Ray, Hans Richter, Marcel Duchamp, Fernard Leger and others. Together with a group of outstanding local musicians we will create a truly experimental, immersive live experience.
