The Contact Mood Share project developed by Hanne Lippard in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp, is a three-part programme focusing on language, especially the vocabulary and semiology that comes with particular social changes and developments. Each edition is an opportunity to introduce different artistic practices and guests. The last season titled Share dedicates its time and space to the interconnectedness of humanity happening both consciously and unconsciously, be it via memes or money. The word share holds a diversity of meanings and evokes contradictory emotions; it belongs both to the world of finance as well as socialist communities, its aim being to divide a larger part into smaller fragments. Technology has pushed the idea of sharing into hyperdrive, enabling us to share our time and existence via data, especially through images both moving and still.
Following the audio compilation for season Contact and Mood, MHKA presents the last sound piece created in relation to the season Share produced together with artist and musician Steven Warwick.
Hanne Lippard and Steven Warwick have been collaborating with each other for the last decade, reciprocating offers to work in the others performance or shows, starting with Steven inviting Hanne to read at his exhibition at Kinderhook & Caracas in Berlin and working across a wide range of media, such as records, video, telling jokes on April Fools day, diaristic correspondences in Switzerland, plays, art prizes etc.
Share is a selected documentation of these collaborations including a performance Autoreply (2016) in Rapperswill of missed connections w piano accompaniment, each person alternating between reading and playing, a play "The Public Image" (2015) performed in Berlin featuring spoken word by Warwick, acted by Lippard. Music of Warwick's music project Heatsick including Lippard's narration on "Re-engineering" and a video she made for the track Mimosa (both 2013) plus related material.
Steven Warwick is an artist, writer, and musician living and working in Berlin. His practice is paradigmatic of an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses theatre-making, social dramaturgy and composition along with art, music and writing. His work is disseminated on a multitude of platforms including records, galleries, nightclubs, publications and the Internet. Across these contexts, Warwick creates assemblages of performance, image, sound and language that speak to the ways in which ideologies construct and inhabit spaces, online and offline – from co-working spaces to clubs, television shows and online chat rooms.

The Contact Mood Share project developed by Hanne Lippard in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp, is a three-part programme focusing on language, especially the vocabulary and semiology that comes with particular social changes and developments.
The Mood season dedicates its time and space to the vague invisible but nevertheless tangible presence of emotions, both collective and individual, in a body, a room, or a state. To be in a mood is to be in a state. The state might also have a mood, because the people that belong to the state are in a mood, and moods easily transfer and create distinctive social spheres where one might feel a belonging or a lack thereof. A mood has an invisible but pervasive presence, like muzak in the mall or heavy perfume trapped within a tiny elevator.
Following the compilation for season Contact, MHKA presents a new sound piece in relation to season Mood: Rain over Curtains’ blues (for Hanne) composed by the artist and musician Felicia Atkinson.
Félicia Atkinson is the latest in a long line of artists to tackle deep listening practices both musical and visual. Her music explores the tension and tranquility between whisper-quiet sounds and searing noise, as she overlays her own words, field recordings, acoustic instruments and subtle electronics. After a run of lauded albums on her own Shelter Press imprint, as well as a collaboration album with New York's Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Atkinson most recently released 'Echo’, on Boomkat a low-key collection of homespun piano improvisations.

The playlist will air on Friday 23 April 2021 in collaboration with Montez Radio.
