For the last time in Europe! 6th-22nd May 2015 at Alexander Ochs Private, Berlin Discrete exhibitions of The Rosenberg Museum have featured in the musical life of Berlin on a number of occasions - Kunstlerhaus Bethanien 1986, Inventionen 1989, Freunde Gute Musik 1993, Podewil 1998. And here for the last time in this town, Jon Rose will present the collection of violin artefacts which celebrates all that is musically perverse, historically twisted, and politically incorrect - before the remnants of the museum are shipped back to Australia from whence the story started long ago. Throughout the exhibition, hans w. koch will display his Leichte Muse, an apparatus for determining the relative weight of music(s). (It should be noted that the relative distances of music were determined by Dr. Johannes Rosenberg and his double piston, triple neck, wheeling violin of 1985.) The theme of this final show is "dysfunctionalism" as illustrated by performances of the Data Violin Robot (driven by live data from Wall Street traders) and The Rosenberg String Quintet (sonifying that relevant standard "Pennies from Heaven"); "Dysfunctionalism" is the central theme of "rosenberg 3.0 - not violin music", the new book from Jon Rose. What could be more appropriate for the time in which we now live? Wednesday 6th May, 19.30: Opening of The Rosenberg Museum by Ben Patterson (except for Yoko, he is the last active Fluxus artist still going). The launch of a new book by Jon Rose - rosenberg 3.0 - not violin music. A demonstration by hans w. koch of his apparatus Leichte Music for determining the relative weight of music(s). Thursday 14th May, 19.30: Great Fences of Australia - multi-media performance by Jon Rose (video and violins) Thursday 21st May, 19.30: Channeling Charlotte - Audrey Chen (voice, iphone bra, and cello)- multi-media performance in tribute to Charlotte Moorman . Jon Rose is the major philosopher and cosmologist in a violin-centric world. Through his work he has fashioned totally new ways for violinists to think of their bows and their instruments. He has given listeners freshly made dimensions to contemplate. When I think of Jon, I'm reminded of Leonardo. He has fearlessly and fancifully explored all the currently known parameters of the violin and discovered many previously hidden ones as well. Jon has led the way in using the violin as a tool to explore life. If all he had ever done was to give us the sounds and the image of the violinist bowing barbed wire fences throughout the world, it should be said that his work has placed the violin front and centre as a force for renewal and regeneration in a tired world David Harrington, Kronos Quartet, San Francisco, 8 March 2012
