PRATER STERN STUNDEN (3/4)
Omid Darvish & Sarvin Hazin – Open Music Workshop

12.06 – 03.07.2018 2018, every Tuesday and Friday 5 – 7 pm

Opening Concert: Tuesday, 12.06.2018, 6 pm

Venue: 
at the foot of the Admiral Tegetthoff Monument at Praterstern 

With the sounds, melodies and rhythms created by Omid Darvish and Sarvin Hazin the Vienna Praterstern becomes a place of listening and dreaming, captivating both those who linger and those who pass by. On one hand these sounds can sound exotic as they differ greatly from classic European music. On the other hand they may also evoke a sense of home among those who are familiar with this type of music. Over a period of four weeks the two musicians will come to Vienna Praterstern, roll out a carpet and play on their traditional string instruments such as the Kamancheh and the Tanbur. Passers-by and other visitors are cordially invited to join in, sing along and participate in this transcultural musical performance.
Omid Darvish and Sarvin Hazin were both born in Tehran. Sarvin Hazin is currently studying violin at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and performs the violin and the Kamancheh in different orchestras and musical ensembles. Omid Darvish learned to play the Tanbur and traditional singing back in Iran. In Austria he pursued Jazz singing. Both are part of the Kurdophone Ensemble, which was founded in 2017 by Omid Darvish and brings ancient Kurdish melodies and Western aspects into harmony.

Artist Talk

The artist Patrick Timm presents his research results. Since May 15 he has occupied daily his art research ship Hafenmeisterei, which lies at anchor at the foot of the Tegetthoff monument. During this time he dealt with the Praterstern as a ‚place of transit‘, did research on Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff and entered into dialogue with people passing by.

Patrick Timm – Hafenmeisterei

 

Ceremonial Ship Launching:
Tuesday, 15.05.2018, 5:45 pm

Duration of the intervention:
15.05. – 13.06.2018
daily occupied from 2 –7 pm, by the artist

Venue: 
at the foot of the Admiral Tegetthoff Monument at Praterstern 

With the work of visual artist Patrick Timm, the project Prater Stern Stunden enters its second round. By conducting months of research and multiple research trips, he approached aspects of the Praterstern, especially Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff, to whom a monument is dedicated there. He found out that the admiral of the Austrian navy defended his homeland Schleswig-Holstein during the naval battle of Helgoland in the 19th century. This reflects the interconnectedness of Austrian-German history.

Patrick Timm combines the idea of the rise of sea level giving Austria access to sea, with the emergence of a new traffic component at the Praterstern. His project takes place in the form of an art research ship, the „KFS Hafenmeister“, which will moor at the Praterstern. From the 15th of May to the 13th of June 2018 this mobile art studio will be occupied by the artist daily from 2 pm to 7 pm. Patrick Timm interacts with the passers-by and with the place itself. On the outer and inner walls of the „KFS Hafenmeister“ he shows works that are being created on site. On every second day there is a presentation or an interactive happening. His works, happenings and performances have an open ending.

From April to July 2018 philomena+ is realizing a series of artistic interventions at the Praterstern in Vienna. The interventions are created with an emphasis on location and participation and aim to turn visions and dream images of an inhospitable place into reality.   

The artist Markus Hofer starts this series with the project „PolizeiS“ (a pun with the German words of police and ice cream). In general, his artistic works are based on familiar, everyday items and materials, altering their original functions by minimal manipulation and thus providing them with new levels of meaning.
In the scope of Prater Stern Stunden, Markus Hofer designed the first PolizeiS stall with its own PolizeiS flavors, distributed to the public for tasting. By adding a single letter at the end of the police logo, the law enforcement organization is given an ice-cold and at the same time sweet component. In addition to the association of the police force with security and a state of alert, new sensual associations arise such as refreshment and pleasure of eating ice cream.
