ALBERTO TROIA (Kyselina) + DAN BODAN (D.F.A.) – CATCHING FIRE POSTER + Zweikommasieben 10 launch. 27.01.2015
from 6pm

This summer after completing his new album, ‘Soft’, Dan Bodan asked Munich based artist Alberto Troia (Kyselina) to choose a song and interpret it as a series of images. The result is a limited edition collection of 3 wall posters depicting Troia’s unique take on the song ‘Catching Fire’. With the kind participation of DFA Records, the posters will be made available to Europe exclusively through Motto Distribution.

The launch corresponds with the release of SOFTY SOFT vol 2, the second part in a series of radical reworking of songs from the album. Vol 2 collects remixes from Lotic, KABLAM, Draveng, E+E and a previously released remix by Gobby.

The posters collection will come packaged with a digital edition of the entire remix series, including the yet unreleased Vol.3 featuring remixes by CFCF, McFERRDOG, Low Concept and veteran producer Howie B.

Join us January 27th at Motto Berlin at 18h to a reception featuring a DJ set by Draveng + Zweikommasieben Djs

PALATTI AR AI (Moving Multiples & Palatti 2015) @ Motto Kunsthalle Basel
January 22nd 2015, 6:30pm

PALATTI AR AI (new publication!)

It is late summer, together we stroll over the hill at Birli, along the Moosbach and the Goldach, we converse in various languages, and wander through the forest. We meander. We find mushrooms in the undergrowth, stones and snake sticks. We climb over fences, cross brooks and gaze into the water. We arrive at the Chastenloch, this mystical meeting point of trails, and we drink cider. Then we go our separate ways, taking the explorations and findings of the day to the next stage (…) From: Moving Palatti by Ursula Badrutt

The artist network Palatti proudly presents a new publication – a follow-up project to the 2013 residency at the Birli. From May-October Palatti was working in East Switzerland at the house of Dr. René und Renia Schlesinger Foundation in Wald, Appenzell in the framework of the 500 years anniversary festivities and the culture project Ledi – The Traveling Stage. The artists took the experience and their individual project as starting points for the artist booklets that have been developed for this publication.
