sound:frame Festival at the MAK:
Thursday 9/ Wednesday 15/ Thursday 16/ Friday 17 April 2015

A cooperation of MAK and sound:frame

In 2015, the sound:frame festival focuses on the physical coexistence of performers and spectators in a certain space and at a certain time. Over the course of six days sound:frame presents an international programme featuring LIVE showcases, performances and labs.

The theme of this year’s sound:frame festival promises much excitement: LIVE puts a spotlight on the experience of synchronous listening and viewing. The transient and unique nature of the moment is at the core
of the festival. Those who are not in the right place at the right time will miss out on something essential. And, of course, this moment takes place right here – in Vienna. In April, sound:frame will transform the city into a
hotspot for the international visual art scene. Major players from the creative industry will meet in various locations around Vienna in
order to exchange ideas and to expand their network. sound:frame is indispensable for the art scene – both in Vienna and in Europe
– and for the audience – the heart and soul of this year’s edition. The juxtaposition of discussions, lectures and live performances offers a new approach to the bond between theory and practice.
