The second day of the Triennale’s concert program is dedicated to an artistic exploration of physics, particularly the force of gravity. The concert will open with a sound performance by Azadbek Bekchanov — perhaps one of the most moving stories within Rites of Eternal Wind. Azadbek was born in Uzbekistan but, as a child and due to circumstances beyond his control, moved to Lausanne, Switzerland, where he grew up and developed as a contemporary artist and sound practitioner. At the invitation of the Triennial team, he has returned to his native region for the first time — and his sound performance is dedicated to the experience of this long-awaited return. The second-day program will continue with the second performance of a new composition by Mieko Shiomi — a cult Japanese composer and living legend of conceptual music, who has collaborated with John Cage, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, and other key figures of the 20th-century avant-garde responsible for shaping new directions in musical art. Her new piece, The Rite of Wind and Shadow, is an experimental sonic performance score commissioned by the Triennale. Its premiere will take place at Tselinny and will be presented in three versions over the first three days. The second iteration will be presented by Tañsulpan Buraqayeva and Nazira Omar. Tañsulpan is a contemporary artist and feature film director from Bashkortostan who is unafraid to work across unfamiliar genres. Her musical partner is Nazira Omar — one of the most promising representatives of the younger generation of performers of Kazakh traditional music, and a participant and laureate of numerous national and international competitions. The concert will conclude with a performance by one of the Triennial’s most high-profile participants — Turkish sound artist Cevdet Erek. Known for his large-scale installations at the intersection of sound art and architecture, he has created one specifically for Rites of Eternal Wind. During the performance, Cevdet will activate the sound system embedded in his modular installation. The performance is presented within the guest curatorial program of CTM Festival in Berlin — one of the world’s leading platforms for electronic and experimental music.
