The fact that I despised the popular music of my youth so much made me seek alternatives. This complete hatred continues to be a source of inspiration. When I hear piped popular music from that era in public spaces, I find it such an infringement. It\u2019s a form of torture that\u2019s infiltrated the western world. Everything about it makes me want to create the most unsympathetic music possible. The intersection is vital.

I regard them as \u2018the audience\u2019 as they are active participants with all their senses involved in the exchange; the emotional and physical state they are in, their knowledge of the references, their frustration with the mode of transport used to get there, and so on. These are all factors that influence the way they will respond to the experience. The traditional exhibition format is something I\u2019ve been frustrated with for a long time.

These impossible sculptures are held in place thanks to a precarious equilibrium that defies the laws of gravity in order to \u201corganise chaos,\u201d according to the artist herself.\u00a0 As an architect of ephemeral and nomadic worlds using stones found here and there along her way, she uses meditation and time as means of approaching and transforming the world. Using man-made materials including cinder blocks, bricks, broken concrete walkways and statues as well as rocks and stone slabs shaped by the elements, Bridget Polk builds architectures where \u201cnatural\u201d and \u201ccultural\u201d worlds meet.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S: Introduce us to your practice. How did it begin?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bridget Polk: In 2009, I saw photos of the work of Bill Dan, who balances stones on the shores of the San Francisco Bay. It looked impossible and I needed to know how to do it. I googled &#8220;how to balance rocks&#8221; and found several videos explaining the surprisingly simple mechanics which, when combined with a little practice and patience, enable one to create these seemingly impossible structures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I started balancing, I had been meditating for many years and I enjoyed the way stillness, silence, and singular focus were the essence of both practices. I didn\u2019t go looking for themes in my work because, for the first few years, it was more like a hobby. I had no idea that this \u201chobby\u201d would lead to the opportunities it has. I became aware of the different layers of meaning and themes within my work as they revealed themselves. For example, I discovered the theme of non-attachment when I had to learn to let go of the frustration I felt when a piece I was working on fell, or the anger I felt when someone knocked one over intentionally. I found that acceptance of the ephemeral nature of what I do helps me remember that everything is temporary. The good stuff and the bad stuff. There\u2019s no point in trying to control any of it. We are not in charge.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":109838,"id":109838,"title":"","filename":"25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","filesize":454453,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/meet-3-artists-presenting-at-berlin-atonal-2023\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":109831,"date":"2023-08-21 15:43:12","modified":"2023-08-21 15:43:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1200,"height":1800,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","medium-width":1200,"medium-height":1800,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","medium_large-width":1200,"medium_large-height":1800,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","large-width":1200,"large-height":1800,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2-1024x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","2048x2048-width":1200,"2048x2048-height":1800,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail2.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1200,"wpvr_mobile-height":1800}},{"ID":109839,"id":109839,"title":"25099-bridget+polk+balancing+rocks+and+rubble+detail","filename":"25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","filesize":472720,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/meet-3-artists-presenting-at-berlin-atonal-2023\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":109831,"date":"2023-08-21 15:43:15","modified":"2023-08-21 15:43:15","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1200,"height":1800,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","medium-width":1200,"medium-height":1800,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","medium_large-width":1200,"medium_large-height":1800,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","large-width":1200,"large-height":1800,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail-1024x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","2048x2048-width":1200,"2048x2048-height":1800,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/25099-bridgetpolkbalancingrocksandrubbledetail.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1200,"wpvr_mobile-height":1800}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":"Images Courtesy of Daiga Rudz\u0101te.

I delight in the sense of energetic interaction I feel when people are watching me work and come with me into a very quiet and focused state. Sometimes a person approaches a piece not quite knowing what they\u2019re looking at, but as it dawns on them, I can watch stages of disbelief, wonder, curiosity and joy expressed in their body language and facial expressions. Some come to me in tears thanking me for some realisation they had while watching me work or spending some time looking at a piece. I tell them I appreciate their gratitude, but I\u2019m not responsible for their experience, but the fact that they allowed themself to be still and quiet for several minutes is what created space for the realisation to come through.

Can I remain unattached to the outcome and remember that the easier they fall, the more fabulously delicate they are?

He composes for site-specific projects that bring together sculpture, installation, performance art and live and synthesised music. His music is rooted in the electronic tradition, but deeply inspired by renaissance music, early baroque and medieval polyphony. His compositions are dark and melancholic and translate through noise, ambient metal and experimental orchestration.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S: You compose for site-specific projects that take shape through sculpture, installation and performance art. When it comes to the composing sound, does the process differ depending on the format of the project itself?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billy Bultheel: Each project is embedded within a space, or some kind of spatial thinking. The process of composing sounds, whether electronic or instrumental, are dependent on the resonance and architectural characteristics of the space the music is for. Choosing instrumentation often depends on the movement the instrument allows the musicians, and so performance and choreography become an important part of the composition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S: Naturally, your work is very collaborative. Why is collaboration important \u2013 both in terms of your practice and the wider art industry?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BB: After studying music I got really obsessed with dance and started working with collectives and performance groups. One thing that attracted me in performance was that the work happened through working with people, and not just through me sitting alone behind my computer, \u2018composing\u2019. The way I work with musicians now is very similar to how choreographers work with dancers. I meet them in a rehearsal space and through improvisation and collaboration start to choreograph music. I write very basic musical scores that function as anchor points for the musicians, but most of the music happens through following live improvisation and movement scores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also collaborate with artists directly. I\u2019m currently working with the artist James Richards on a performance for video and live music. I\u2019ve worked with the instrument builder and artist Tanya V. Abelson, and I&#8217;ve had a long history with performance artist Anne Imhof, composing, choreographing and performing in her works between 2015 till 2019. All these collaborations were based on exchanges of interest and a sort of clashing of practices. Successful collaborations are when you feel like you\u2019re going beyond your regular practice, and really dive into the deep end with the support of someone you trust. I think collaborations of this kind allow us to take risks and really push the art into uncharted territories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m very lucky to be collaborating on The Thief\u2019s Journal with curator Marie-Therese Bruglacher, scenographer Andrea Belosi, and nine extraordinary musicians.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":109904,"id":109904,"title":"Unter, Disappearing Berlin x Radialsystem, Spreewaldbad, Berlin 2021, Photo Thyago Sainte, courtesy of Schinkel Pavillon_3","filename":"Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","filesize":223341,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/meet-3-artists-presenting-at-berlin-atonal-2023\/billy-bultheel-and-viviana-abelson-unter-disappearing-berlin-x-radialsystem-spreewaldbad-berlin-2021-photo-thyago-sainte-courtesy-of-schinkel-pavillon_3\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":" ","name":"billy-bultheel-and-viviana-abelson-unter-disappearing-berlin-x-radialsystem-spreewaldbad-berlin-2021-photo-thyago-sainte-courtesy-of-schinkel-pavillon_3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":109831,"date":"2023-08-23 09:01:56","modified":"2023-08-29 07:35:33","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1080,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":72,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1080,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1080,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3-1536x864.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":864,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1080,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":10,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Billy-Bultheel-and-Viviana-Abelson-Unter-Disappearing-Berlin-x-Radialsystem-Spreewaldbad-Berlin-2021-Photo-Thyago-Sainte-courtesy-of-Schinkel-Pavillon_3.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1920,"wpvr_mobile-height":1080}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"\u201cUnter\u201d by Billy Bultheel & Tanya V.

How does Berlin Atonal lend itself to this approach?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BB: Kraftwerk is an amazing space which allows for so many options. It\u2019s also a space where many musicians and composers have come with their alternative programs and projects. So I definitely felt that some kind of directed approach was necessary. I\u2019ve been researching the psychoacoustics of renaissance architecture and have developed with Andrea and Marie-Therese a sort of side chapel to Kraftwerk\u2019s cathedral-like main hull. I\u2019m really excited that I could build my own little church-like acoustic chamber within this gigantic mastodon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S: Berlin Atonal seeks to challenge the exhibition format through a reconsideration of the model itself \u2013 for both viewer and artist.
