Verlag Vault is a new concert series happening at Roter Salon in Volksbühne, prompted by Berlin based label Verlag – a platform for music curation and artistic projects with a focus on sound, literature and fashion.
With a catalog encompassing about 35 releases that includes music and design items, Verlag represents artists whose practice is multidisciplinary, with a foundation in music. Verlag Vault is the community driven, public embodiment of the Label’s aesthetic research, bringing the narrative on stage through music performances. The coming event, scheduled for March 14th, will feature LABOUR, the Berlin-based duo formed by Farahnaz Hatam and Colin Hacklander.
Coming from music yet thriving in a mixture of scenes, they have recently presented their own work all over the world, including Martin Gropius Bau, Sharjah Biennial, Berghain and most recently EMST Athens. They regularly collaborate on works for theater, performance, video and fashion; are fellows of Villa Aurora Los Angeles; have a monthly radio show on NTS; and are long-term residents of Callie’s shared sound studio in Berlin.
Additionally Agnese Menguzzato will perform music inspired by her recently released Ep “Scusa”, alongside new material to be released on Verlag by the end of year. Drawing on historical and contemporary technologies, Menguzzato’s practice intertwines past and current techniques to explore the sonic prospects of the present, often employing the auditory potential of the lute. Engaging in various musical constellations, Agnese has collaborated and performed with musicians such as Sara Persico, FRANKIE, and Soho Rezanejad.
Music selector and radio host Rahina will be opening and closing the night with an ethereal / ambient selection of music.
