The 50th iteration of Second Sundays will be provided by our two current artists in residency: Franziska Windisch & Paul Gründorfer.
Second Sundays is a monthly series initiated by Q-O2. Each session a new guest is invited to share an insight into their own listening, playing and speaking about a selection of sound and music that is important to their thinking or practice. The sessions try to put value on listening to recorded music in a social setting as a space for discussion. The series takes place on the second Sunday of every month,. Each session is paired with a cocktail-of-the-month, as decided by the invited guest.
Post-residency presentation 25 May – 18h – @Q-O2 – free multilogue (Jiyun Park, Sybella Perry, Hye Young Sin, Franziska Windisch)
multilogue will present four sound performances for multiple performers, developed during a week-long residency. Starting at Q-02, the audience will be guided on a tour through nearby parks and urban public spaces for which these performances have been conceived.
multilogue (Jiyun Park, Sybella Perry, Hye Young Sin, Franziska Windisch) is a collective of four artists based in Köln, Berlin and Brussels with a shared interest in sound, space, movement and interaction. In this collaborative framework, they develop individual pieces simultaneously while continuously rotating the roles of author and performer.
