KLAUS KILLISCH
(*1959, Leipzig) is a visual artist and passionate musician. He studied painting at the Weissensee Art Academy Berlin. His pictures are expressive; they originated in the subculture of the 1980s and its zeitgeist. Scholarships and trips abroad brought him to France, Italy, Ireland, USA and Japan. His works have been shown at the Biennale di Venezia (1990), in the Sezon Museum of Art, Tokyo (1991), the New National Gallery, Berlin (2003), the Museum of the Fine Arts Leipzig (2019), and elsewhere.
“On the always emotional, but also heretical and social-critical screens, it rocks and grooves; figures seem to have come from science fiction films. In this way Klaus Killisch develops his unique rhythmical, emotional, but also differentiated style. He translates image into musicality and vice versa”(Berliner Zeitung, 25.2.20). There with him at the photo shooting by Sibylle Fendt is the protagonist of many of his works: the blue guitar – inspired by a photograph of a Fender Telecaster, which he had build as a youth.

MUCKEMACHER
is a band founded in Berlin in 2012 by the musicians, composers and DJs Verena Roth and Florian Erlbeck. As MUCKEMACHER they are turning children’s listening habits upside down. Now the kids groove to the sounds of Cumbia, Ska, Rocksteady, HipHop, Mambo and Dub, songs far outside of the mainstream that flow into the dancing legs, and videos that recall the Dadaist collages of Hannah Höch or the Bauhaus artist László Moholy Nagy. Their albums are about everything that moves kids and their parents – about joy and fun, but also about topics like exclusion and our current throwaway society. They sweeten up the current quarantine with living-room concerts and the grandiose song CHASE CORONA OUT OF TOWN1 and at the same time draw attention to the precarious situation of artists in lockdown.
