Start at 10 am
The internationally renowned conceptual artist and musician Stephen Prina is offering a public workshop as part of a cooperation between the Kölnischer Kunstverein and the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz. In his artistic work, Stephen Prina makes use of a differentiated aesthetic system of reference in the fields of new and pop music, painting and architectural history. He also works as a composer and was a long-time member of the avant-garde rock band The Red Krayola.
In the seminar, Prina will present his working methods and in particular his two films Vinyl II and The Way He Always Wanted It II, talk about composition strategies and make his interdisciplinary approach the subject of discussion. Part of his seminar will be the preparation of a music performance with students of the Musikhochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, which will be shown within his solo exhibition He was but a bad translation.
