A project for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, 2017
Students and Lecturer from Ansbach University and UT Sydney as well as inventor Ingo Bracke created six audiovisual boxed objects in relation to the topics of Luther’s catechism. Musically und visually they were referring to Luther-catechism-songs newly composed and arranged by J.S. Bach. The objects were corresponding to an exhibition of Bachhaus Eisenach called “Text Luter – Musik Bach”. Objects from the project were exhibited in the Berlin Cathedral (9.3. – 23.4.17) and in the Bachhaus Eisenach (28.4.17 – 28.2.18). In addition the exhibition was shown during the Ansbach Bach Week (27.7. – 6.8.17) at the Kunsthaus Reitbahn in Ansbach. The exhibition at Berlin Dome counted about 80.000 visitors.
Curators: Cornelius Pöpel, Mike Day, Chris Bowman (UT Sydney) and Ingo Bracke (studio kybra)
