Jakob Ullmann, from Solo II (for trombone/bassoon, 1992) from Buch der Stille (1989- )
During the week of June 19-23, 2017 documenta 14’s sound and music program offers various concerts that provide a focus on and contextualization of the work of German composer Jakob Ullmann and American sound artist and composer Alvin Lucier, both of whom are featured in the exhibition of documenta 14. Multiple appearances by American cellist Charles Curtis further illuminate the sonic concerns central to the documenta 14 project, among them the role of architectural space in a musical experience, alternate modes of listening, and the questioning of the composer-performer hierarchy.
