«First Friday»
Mit Carla Milena Vollmers

For four years now, First Friday has been an important part of the event program at the Kunsthalle Darmstadt. Every first Friday of the month, the ongoing exhibition is opened in the evenings and supplemented by a musical program. Even in a time without local events, the Kunsthalle wants to continue this format and publish a digital series for First Friday. The individual episodes are designed by the invited artists.

In July, the artist Carla Milena Vollmers performs her piece ‹Die Sinnlichkeit der Unzulänglichkeit› on our digital channels. The solo performance tries to develop a philosophical, social and collective language from an intuitive position. At the center of her work are processes of perception anchored in the subconscious that reflect the experiences of everyday life. Her subjective impression is based on concrete situations, emotions and dreams, which she reflects in processes of writing, making music and drawing. The entanglement of pieces of music and read texts lead to a meditative, dream-like manifestation of reality. Carla Milena Vollmer's performance can be seen on July 3 at 8 p.m. on the YouTube and Vimeo channel of the Kunsthalle. These and all previous episodes of the First Friday podcast can also be listened to on SoundCloud.

Curated and documented by Louis Baca.
