The Sparda-Bank West Foundation and HMKV Hartware MedienKunstVerein cordially invite you to another Sparda Night at HMKV, taking place as part of the exhibition Holding Pattern – Warteschleifen und andere Loops.
The evening’s highlight will be live concerts by Dagobert and LIN, performed right inside the exhibition space.
To kick things off, join us for speed dates with the artworks – a playful way to explore the exhibition at the start of the evening. Enjoy cold drinks, lively conversations, and a relaxed atmosphere at the bar – all in an endless loop of art and music.
Admission is free.
LIN (Electropop / Berlin)
5 in 1: drums, synthesiser, guitar, bass and vocals. LIN is more than a solo artist, LIN is a solo band. Using footswitches, cables, a loop station and her instruments, the Berlin-based artist has built a cockpit for concerts with which she creates an impressive sound. In terms of genre, somewhere between electro and pop, multi-layered, rich in detail and intense. The English-language songs are not only danceable, but also explicitly political. In her lyrics, the queer artist stages a world in which socially created norms are broken up and redefined. LIN demands ‘We need new norms.’ At her live shows, she literally sweeps the audience away, like the momentum of a spherical wave in which the energy spreads in ever larger circles.
Dagobert
Dagobert is a Swiss musician who has been releasing songs in his own unique style since 2013. This style is hard to describe: lots of synthesisers, a calm voice, a Swiss accent and lyrics that somehow sound like pop songs but are still profound.Dagobert's four albums are, in this order: Dagobert, Afrika, Welt ohne Zeit, and Jäger. The latter album was only just released this year and has already been described by music critics as a departure into a new style - Dagobert, who probably didn't take himself and his music so seriously in the past, shows with his latest work that he has matured as a musician and found his place in the music world, making him an artist to be taken seriously.
