Music for ceiling fan and tubes
IDEA: Artistic ideas are like mutations of the reasonable. They might lead nowhere or to the development of something new. The beauty is in following the path revealing.
WHAT: 'Music or Ceiling Fan and Tubes' is a performance with a ceiling fan and two corrugated tubes. One tube is attached to a fan blade to create a constant tone while the fan rotates. A smaller corrugated tube is played as a 'flute' while laying underneath the rotating ceiling fan. The ends of the tubes are used to play the fan blades percussively.
WHY: Klaas loves to put attention to things that might not have artistic value at first sight and search for a way to create something that I find poetic. If he can make the temptation disappear to ask why, he might have found what he was looking for.
"The journey to South Kurdistan left a deep impression on me. I learned a lesson in serenity, endurance and hospitality. I feel I learned something that should be fundamental to our human existence. If this is the 'Wild Kurdistan' people meant I feel that the world should be a wilder place" -- Klaas Hübner
