24.02.2005 – Drip´n´Draw – Design and Concept in the Works of Jackson Pollock, Lecture Olga Lewicka, 7 p.m.
Right down to today, Jackson Pollock is connected with "dripped paint" – as his own emblem, and perhaps as a concept. His drawings offer an opportunity to reexamine this perception: Can Pollock’s tossing of paint, his direct approach to the picture, be read as an independent design, as a theory? Olga Lewicka is a visual artist and author. At the beginning of the year, her dissertation on Pollock was published in German by Wilhelm Fink Verlag.
Admission: € 6, reduced € 5

CONCERT SERIES MORTON FELDMAN
The Trio Nexus, Berlin, presents music by Morton Feldman (1926-1987). Featured on two separate evenings will be late and seldom-played works of the American composer, who was a close friend of Pollock.
Feldman’s work was influenced by the music of Edgar Varèse, Anton von Webern and John Cage, and derived inspiration from the abstract paintings of Philip Guston, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Jasper Johns. Upon a second hearing, these seemingly fragile, precise and poetical compositions develop into an image of the inexorable progression of time itself.
Trio Nexus: Erik Drescher - flute, Tomas Bächli – piano/celesta, Claudia Sgarbi - percussion
Admission: € 10, reduced € 8
22.03.2005 - Why Patterns? (1978), 7 p.m.

Crippeld Symmetry (1983)
Flute, Piano/Celesta and Percussion
30.03.2005 - For Philip Guston (1984), 7 p.m.
Flute, Piano and Percussion

PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
No Limits
Jackson Pollock’s works are full of dancing lines and graffiti – waiting to be discovered are the fascinating traces of barely recognizable figures all the way to the invigorating, intermingled traces of paint in his later works. What is it that can be narrated solely with lines and color without drawing a concrete object?
Duration: approx. 1.5 hours. Admission: € 5
