„Über dunkle Energien und leere Räume“ ("About dark energies and empty rooms")
Dark energies are the starting point for the work cycle “energeia aphanés” by Michael Quell. In astrophysics, this mysterious phenomenon serves as a hypothetical attempt to explain the observed increasing speed of expansion of the universe, which otherwise stands in clear contradiction to the gravitational effects caused by matter. Its existence has not yet been proven, so it itself cannot be observed, but, like dark matter, it essentially determines the space-time structure of the universe.
In the works of the same name, this idea becomes a symbol of a musically aesthetic world whose actual control principles remain consistently hidden, but whose results determine the world of experience. Space, time and the idea of time dissolution play a central role.

„Über zeitlose Augenblicke“ (About timeless moments)
Timeless moments - we can experience them in moments of greatest concentration or total relaxation, of incredible happiness or deep sadness, while experiencing great art or nature, with others or in absolute solitude.
The works selected for this program by Lisa Streich, Pablo Araya, Gerald Eckert, Pablo Olabarria, Stefan Streich and Iannis Xenakis oscillate between the greatest density in the smallest space and breathless delicacy and fragility, between liveliness and rigidity, between artistry and naturalness.
