I am going to split myself in halves today. One part of me will enjoy Wolfgang Tillmans’ order of things in his new show at the Serpentine Gallery in London. The Guardian’s art critic Adrian Searle found a wonderful way to describe Wolfgang’s bewildering orchestra of sujets, and later on we will dance the night away to have a bit of a midsummer party – this a picture that Wolfgang took in the morning last year. Could be Berlin, eh?
This is where my other half will go: In the early morning, the walls of the Berlin Panoramabar of Berghain will shout for joy to the sound of “Chicago“. It will be quite a night. Efdemin celebrates his record release party, and it is a breathtaking album. Sound art you want to dance to, basically, as Efdemin imports the detailed treatment of beats we know from the likes of Photek and transfers it to modulate the sound of techno. This is taking house to a new, abstract, complex, and ecstatic level. If you listen to Night Train, you can already see it all: the hands up in the air, the chary morning light, the people filled with joy in Panoramabar.
One day in a not so far away future, biotechnology will take us to another level. Then I will split myself in two halves like a double helix, and I will say to myself: Tonight, we are going to have fun.
Find his beautiful video of “Chicago” further down here, or get an idea of what I am talking about by looking at the unofficial version of Wonderland that someone uploaded on YouTube.
So, where did you go?
I went to Wolfgang’s party. It was quite a Fest. :)
