28 June - 24 July 2012, Moscow, Garage Center for Contemporary Culture opens
a new venue with the Touch the Music exhibition. It will present 30
major installations from the famous Mobiles Musik Museum (Dusseldorf)
collection.
The exhibition will attract the interest of both kids and adults: they will be
invited to play the unusual oversized instruments and feel themselves to be
musicians, conductors and composers. Unlike usual museum, here visitors are
allows to touch everything: various drums, gigantic metallophone made of
automobile parts, jerry cans, bells, doorbells, saucepan covers and many other
unexpected things. The founder of the Mobiles Musik Museum, Michael Bradke,
will perform and host workshops for kids and adults. Musical instruments will
offer visitors a basic insight into the physics of sound. They will learn how
length, tension and various materials can change the tone pitch or result in
sound variations. Kids will not only explore new and unusual objects and
features, but will also develop an aspiration to create through interacting
with musical objects.
Special performances for kids and experimental concerts in the frameworks of
the exhibition will help participants feel the connection between hearing and
seeing, movement and rhythm, thought and feeling.
Touch the Music is a gigantic open air mobile orchestra, and evokes
enthusiasm everywhere it goes: Rome, Naples, Amman, San Francisco and
Berlin.
