TapeTreff is a tape and cassette-based happening organized by artist-initiative Belchkitchen (Quinten Dierick) a few times a year at different locations. People can bring in tapes of any kind: no selection, no hierarchy. Tape Jockeys play and manipulate sounds coming from cassettes, reel to reel tapes and VHS. In this occasion, the MINI Museum was mounted on the Tape Jockey table, displaying Let's take some distance from noiseculture (2011), a slideshow of very harsh, down-filtered, hyper-focused, re-captured, re-written, re-interpreted, feedbacked imagery with sound. At the TAPE-bar, a corner was installed with the MINI Museum and two “Shitmixers” (mixing consoles made of scrapings out of the drains of a print-place) and a possibility for the people to listen.
According to Belchkitchen, “the evenings were very nice and low profile. Many people showed up. The MINI Museum was exposed in a fuzzy environment, and got surprisingly good attention for its intimacy.”
