Silver Tape Presents Nick Klein.
Silver Tapes second edition presents Berlin based experimental sound/noise artist Nick Klein. He will be performing at Miscellania Club in Melbourne on the 13th of February and will be supported by ambient artist BODYXVIII and a DJ set by Moopie.
Klein is an artist working in sound and art and sometimes (begrudgingly) sound art with alean towards the social potential in those modalities as they interact. Klein has recorded a large amount of music for tape, CD, digital file, and vinyl editions for music labels around the world, as well as running his own amorphous label project PL (primitive languages, Psychic Liberation, etc). Concurrently, to the best of his ability, he has shown work in visual art contexts. Klein is uninterested in the prohibitive ideological tropes and circumstances that both contexts offer, and focuses the intent of his work on trying to see what productive energy comes from the friction between the two.
Klein likes loud volume, cooking, offline community building, records, bars, synthesisers, and comedy.
Klein has performed and shown works in contexts and festivals like Sonic Acts Biennial (NL), Art Site Soje (KR), The Amant Foundation (USA), Julia Stoschek Foundation (DE), SARA’S (USA), MOMA PS1 (USA), De La Cruz Collection (USA), Volksbühne (DE), Empty Gallery (HK), Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE), Seendosi (SK), Cafe Sismo (CDMX), Cafe Oto (UK), Folkteatern (SE), Burning Fleshtival (USA), Herrensauna (DE), and Summer Scum (USA).
