Ragnar Kjartansson & Alterazioni Video As part of the accompanying program of the exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof, the Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson is presenting the world premiere of Symphony No. 2<\/em> in collaboration with the Italian artists\u2019 collective Alterazioni Video. The performance is based on the traditional structure of a symphony, whose four movements are performed on stage by members of Alterazioni Video making use of a variety of props. Ragnar Kjartansson appears in four different video clips which determine the length of the individual movements. Each movement is based on visual and acoustic actions repeated in a \u201cloop\u201d by the actors. A documentation of the performance will be on show in the exhibition following the event.<\/p>\n Ragnar Kjartansson<\/strong> (b. 1976 in Reykjav\u00edk) operates in the areas of performance, theatre and music. His performances and video installations, which he frequently develops in close collaboration with artist and musician friends from different spheres, centre upon the artistic process and the moment in which art is created. His works often last hours and even days through their use of constant repetition, and many of them feature the artist himself in physically extremely demanding performances in which he plays a variety of roles.<\/p>\n Alterazioni Video <\/strong>is an artist collective founded in 2004 in Milan, Italy and is now based in New York and Berlin. The members of the group are Paololuca Barbieri, Alberto Caffarelli, Andrea Masu and Giacomo Porfiri. Since 2004, Alterazioni Video has participated with their projects in international exhibitions. In 2009, the group was invited together with Ragnar Kjartansson to take part of Performa 09<\/em> in New York with the performance Symphony No. 1.<\/em><\/p>\n A project by Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof \u2013 Museum f\u00fcr Gegenwart \u2013 Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in cooperation with Freunde Guter Musik Berlin e.V and HAU Hebbel am Ufer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
