Satellite 6: Tarek Atoui

Join us at Bar Laika for the sixth edition of Satellite, featuring Tarek Atoui.

Tarek Atoui is a Lebanese artist and electroacoustic composer based in Paris. Atoui engineers complex and original instruments that challenge and expand our ways of understanding and experiencing sound.

His work WITHIN, a collaboration with Pauline Oliveros, explores new instruments and performance techniques developed for a deaf audience. For his project The Reverse Collection, Atoui invited a group of musicians to play instruments of unknown age and origin at the Ethnological Museum in Berlin-Dahlem. From these recordings, Atoui wrote scores for improvised pieces for the same instruments and performed them at the 8th Berlin Biennale.

Atoui has presented works at Sharjah Biennial 9 and 11, Sharjah; the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; SeMA Biennale Mediacity Seoul, Seoul; Haus Der Kunst, Munich; documenta, Kassel; Berlin Biennale, Berlin; NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, and Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow among other places.

Satellite is a monthly experimental music series curated by Sanna Almajedi.

5 USD cover at the door.
