Try it out, experiment playfully, change it and help shape it! In the interactive exhibition KlangTräume you can reinvent the history of the Bremen Town Musicians, hop melodies, feel the volume, compose timbres, get to know the pitch in the ship in a bottle, listen to your own voice for 100 m, set different rhythms on the large music box, hear your heartbeat very loud, play with your voice.

On the occasion of the 200th birthday of the Bremen Town Musicians, the kek Children’s Museum, together with the Bremen sound artist Ricardo Castagnola, will give the four famous adventurers a performance full of sound. At a specially designed hands-on station, visitors* can retell the story of the town musicians. The exhibition will also be complemented by exciting stations by akki e.V. (action and culture with children), at which elementary characteristics of sound such as volume, pitch, timbre and rhythm can be explored.

For the American artist Andrea Bowers (born in 1965, lives in Los Angeles), political involvement and artistic work cannot be separated. For more than two decades, she has stood for an artistic position which combines a well-thought-through aesthetic practice with acute political observation from a feminist perspective.

The exhibition at the Weserburg Museum for Modern Art is presenting the very first survey exhibition of Bowers’ creative production; it includes some 35 large-format wall works and drawings in felt-tip pen, films and word-objects, installations and small-format works in graphite from the last fifteen years. Moreover, this is the first presentation of the internationally renowned artist in northern Germany.
