BORIS HAUF

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Boris Hauf is a musician and composer currently touring his synth-based sci-fi space adventure solo project CLARK, the concert/performance CLARK here dust and hair with Litó Walkey, and as keyboarder with the legendary Austrian indie rock band Naked Lunch. He runs the politically and ecologically committed independent record label Shameless and lives in Berlin.

Litó Walkey (GR/CAN) is a Berlin-based artist whose work operates collaboratively through writing and choreography. Her performance and publishing projects engage collective structures that energize affective circulations of sense (and self) drifting. She teaches and advises choreographic work internationally and is currently a PhD candidate in Performance Practices at Gothenburg University.

Litó Walkey and Boris Hauf have worked together since 2001 in a wide range of collaborative performances, and presented their own works internationally: Wings raised to the second power (2004), the missing dance no7 (2005), instanded I turn (2006), Like that, like this (2008), Come here dust and hair (2018).

ABOUT THE WORK:

CLARK here dust and hair is a concert performance of synth-based beat-oriented music and language spoken through notions of ‘wrong writing’. It brings together two long-term projects: Boris Hauf’s CLARK and Litó Walkey’s Come here dust and hair. Newly released on Shameless Records, CLARK 3 juxtaposes disassembled post-industrial minimal technoid music with modernist contemporary experimentation. Come here dust and hair is a series of performative practices that attend to strategies of collaboration, translation and proliferation.
