The 3-Room-Conference is a performance project, which
was organized by the Berlin Tiefenrauschorchester especially
for the rooms of the artspace Art Laboratory Berlin.
In
connection with his painting Inbetween (2001) and his
film projection Cloud Pieces (2005) Leo Königsberg
will realize a sound collage on his space cello. This audiovisual
production will be taken further by the live act by Christian
Glass' electronic acoustics. The dance performance by janusz
de woyciechowski, in relation to his film Titania (1970),
which will be projected in the art space, will develop this
interdisciplinary experiment through the human body in movement.
The
Tiefenrauschorchester consists of sound and visual artists,
performers, dancers in varying combinations. It is part of
the FACTORY-BERLIN, an artist community located in a former
battery factory in Berlin-Oberschöneweide. It was founded
at the beginning of the 1990s as a place for the production
of painting, sculpture, music, performance, dance, film, photography
and theater.
"The
performance project 3-Room-Conference is an artistic
communication in three different spaces. The artists communicate
with one another by means of different media in their own
specific forms. Elements of sound flow together with the help
of an electronic setting which complements the video works.
These, in turn, correspond to the dance performance. Altogether
we have a whole body of art, which the spectator through his/
her pure presence will become a part of, and without having
to act he/ she will become an agitator."

Christian
Glass, born 1974 in Hamburg, studied history and theory of music
in Hamburg and Berlin as well as composition under Prof. Younghi
Pagh-Paan in Bremen. He composes theater and film music. In recent
years Glass has realized concerts, sound installations and performances
in Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin and Munich.
Glass: "Often in my music you can come upon streams of sound.
I produce sound material, which amplifies the sound of space by
means of accordion, drums, guitar, piano and voices. Then I try
to transfer the stream of sound into the visual. Within my work
with sound, silence plays an important role. This might seem like
a paradox, but silence can be understood as sound, which, with its
streaming, creates the possibility to temporarily break free from
the feeling of linearity. Silence also gives space for the reaction
of the participants." Christian Glass was a founding member
of Tiefenrauschorchester Berlin and is a member of the artist group
Tiefenrausch Ost (T.R.O.). He has lived and worked in Berlin since
2001.
