Deutsch<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Our most extensive series, CLUB RADIOKOJE, will return in 2026 under the theme of \u2018Luft von anderen Planeten,\u2019 featuring a poetic and performative afternoon at the public pool. We will draw on Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg’s radical transcendence of form and language to\u00a0envision post-planetary realities for a society after the tipping point<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 29. August 2026, 13:00-19:30<\/strong>. Artists: <\/strong>God\u2019s Entertainment<\/a> <\/strong>(EU), Black Page Orchestra<\/strong><\/a> (AT).<\/p>\r\n Regular swimming admission (Stadt Wien B\u00e4der<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Inspired by Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s maxim that \u201cthoughts must be thought, even if they are not understood\u2014even if they can never be understood,\u201d CLUB RADIOKOJE explores alternative ways of cohabitation beyond our planet’s ecological limits. The image of \u201cairs of distant planets\u201d is taken both literally and metaphorically: as a reflection on shifting atmospheres in an era of cascading crises (climatic and cultural), where true refuge might only be found in completely novel forms of social organization (materially) or of artistic vision (virtually).<\/p>\r\n \u201cI feel air of another planet\u201d [Ich f\u00fchle Luft von anderem Planeten<\/em>] is the famous opening line of the poem \u201cRapture\u201d [Entr\u00fcckung<\/em>] by Stefan George (1868\u20131933), which Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg set to music in his Second String Quartet in F minor, Op. 10 (1907\/08). Marking a watershed moment in music history, the piece bridges the transition from romantic harmony to free atonality. Sch\u00f6nberg mirrors George\u2019s mystical language\u2014where the lyrical ‘I’ dissolves \u201cin tones, circling, weaving\u201d\u2014translating it into a new sonic logic that transcended the structures of tonality, rhythm, and form.<\/p>\r\n This line anchors the theme for CLUB RADIOKOJE: Airs of Distant Planets<\/em>. The poetic, performative project asks how this “other air” can be conceptualized, heard and experienced today\u2014serving as a resonance chamber for the transformation of sound, body, and society amidst extreme weather, technological progress, and the breakdown of interpersonal communication.<\/p>\r\n Teaming up with the artist collective God\u2019s Entertainment\u2014who recently explored the \u201cbizarre societal trips\u201d of our time in their 2024 series \u201cLSD \u2013 Words and their Worlds\u201d\u2014we broaden our scope. God\u2019s Entertainment’s surreal logic acts as an artistic medium (akin to an oracle), making the complexities and transitions of modern existence performatively tangible. They challenge us to imagine the \u201cairs of distant planets\u201d as a blueprint for other sustainable ways of life. On this occasion, they set forth their collaborative work with the ensemble Black Page Orchestra.<\/p>\r\n Hosted at the Viennese Kongre\u00dfbad, a historic site of public life and social gathering, the event transforms these questions into a collective, sensory experience. Through physical mediums of water and air, sound and light, instances emerges where music, performance, and social interaction seamlessly intertwine. Suspended between George\u2019s aesthetic rapture and Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s tonal rupture, this artistic experiment in thinking, feeling, and perhaps breathing points toward an impending paradigm shift\u2014a turning point we must face with clarity and mutual empathy as a collective.<\/p>\r\n Performances will take place hourly, 14:00-19:00.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n Funded by the Austrian Ministry of Living, Art, Culture, Media and Sport (BMWKMS), the City Council MA7 Kultur der Stadt Wien <\/strong>and the\u00a0District Ottakring.<\/strong> With the kind support of Head of District Stefanie Lamp. <\/strong>In collaboration with the City Pools of Vienna, MA 44 Stadt Wien B\u00e4der<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\nAirs of Distant Planets<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
