K Club, 2019

 


 

 

K Club is a musical situation staged for one visitor only at a time. A neon sign marks the entrance to a dance club, the exhibition space is designed accordingly. The music track was composed by Ari Benjamin Meyers with Canadian electronica musician Deadbeat and takes the visitor on a condensed journey through an entire night out clubbing. By mixing two vinyl records of the same track, a unique score for each visitor is created live by the DJ. An important aspect of the work is the situation of waiting: visitors are randomly assigned a number; only if their number is called by the bouncer are they allowed in.
