For, Before, And After Silence: new website https://www.gksh.net/.
Over the past three years, I have dedicated myself to establishing spæs Lab Berlin (www.spaes.org) as a community and opportunity for you and others to engage in artistic spatial utopia at Funkhaus Berlin. This initiative stemmed from discussions and exchanges, particularly during the lockdown, prompting questions about the essence of future media art, sound art, and music in light of the conditions of our communities and economies.
As a result of this introspective process, I have decided to reassess my own work and contemplate how I can contribute to the current state of affairs with the knowledge I possess. I am deeply moved by the developments at spæs Lab Berlin, and if you are receiving this email, you likely have been involved in the ideas, planning, organization, or mindsets that supported this endeavour during these challenging times, without relying on institutional backing.
The lab is now established and has formed a community so that I can concentrate more on my own artistic work again.
During this period of reflection, introspection, and contemplative silence, I have thoroughly revisited my personal archive of compositions, installations, and publications spanning the past 20 years.
You can explore this collection here: www.gksh.net (old and new address, featuring a reconfigured website).
If you are in Berlin, please feel free to reach out to spæs Lab if you wish to visit, develop your utopian visions, seek exchange, or simply peruse a book from our library.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude for all your contributions, friendship, and support.
The continued possibility of our work is owed to the atmosphere we have cultivated and will endeavour to sustain for as long as possible.
