Concert
Summer Happenings: Social Shaman

Part of 2018 Summer Happenings at The Broad

Sa, 28.07.2018
The Broad

Co-presented by Goethe-Institut, this evening is inspired by the creative practice of German artist Joseph Beuys and the Fluxus movement he fostered. Legendary Krautrock group faUSt dazzles with experimental sets, and Baltimore duo Matmos — who recently composed an album by playing a washing machine on a stage — performs in the Plaza and throughout the museum. EYE presents a politically timely DJ set. Pharmakon deconstructs and manipulates sound into a spiritual journey. Total Freedom offers a disruptive, cross-genre set as evocative as it is danceable. FlucT investigates the physical, political and emotional through a new performance created especially for the evening. Nelson Patton joins forces with Lonnie Holley for a shamanistic improvisational set. 

Happenings are 21+.
Tickets include same-night access to the museum. 
Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away will not be open during the event. Capacity for the various performances are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the museum. A Happenings ticket does not guarantee access to all performances.

Formed in 1969 in Hamburg, Germany and considered the inventors of "Kraut Rock," iconoclasts extraordinaire Jean-Hervé Péron and Zappi Diermaier — faUSt — are key figures in 20th-century music.
In the early 1970s, along with Can and Kraftwerk, they reinvented pop music as a specifically European art form. In their studio they revolutionized the process of music production: they improvised with industrial noise, generated bizarre hypnotic grooves, indulged in studio-based collages and dabbled with every conceivable musical genre, sometimes simultaneously. Among those faUSt has strongly influenced are Brian Eno, Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Test Department, Neubauten, My Bloody Valentine, Julian Cope, Sonic Youth and a host of industrial and techno bands. The music has lost none of its immediacy or relevance — it sounds as if it was recorded last week, not last decade. faUSt will be joined by the all-female punk trio Ernsthafte Angelegenheiten.
