Merz







Seen here at the launch of the exhibition Born After 1924 at Castlefield Gallery Manchester, singer, speech performer and practitioner in psychiatric medicene, Florian Kaplick, delivers in forthright fashion the third section of Kurt Schwitters' sound poem Ursonate (or Sonata in Primordial Sounds). Castlefield's show, organised by Ingo Gerken, features work by Madeleine Boschan, Matti Isan Blind, Rainer Ganahl, Atonia Low, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Reto Pulfer and Gregor Schneider. An updated version/adaptation of Schwitters' collaborative magazine, Nasci, is also on sale. Florian had started the poem earlier at Cube Gallery where the Manchester-wide Merzman project features a developing and evolving series of installations by Office For Subversive Architecture. There's further Schwitters action coming soon at Madlab.
