German SWR2 Ars Acustica premiers a new radio work by Jan Jelinek: Vom Rohen und Gekochten (On the Raw and the Cooked). The stream and free download for 18 months available here.

Solid, raw, boiling, powdery, liquid, broken and folded - empirical categories which describe the nature of material. They can also be read in a chronological sequence: solid becomes broken becomes powdery becomes liquid. Material tells of its essence as it drifts through its states. Vom Rohen und Gekochten captures material transformation processes in sound - it observes the artists Thomas & Renée Rapedius as they design their paper and metal objects, the photographer Peter Granser as he ritually prepares Japanese tea - Vom Rohen und Gekochten shatters glass, bents metal and burns wood. The results are sonic descriptions of consistency that are woven into a sound composition.

ZwischenRaum and Futaoki Collection, DG Kunstraum Munich

Peter Granser´s "Zwischen/Raum" is part of the group exhibition "Wieder und Wieder. Ritual, Kontemplation, Obsession" together with works by Lars Koepsel, Claudia Starkloff, Ignacio Uriarte and videos by Judith Albert, Anne Pfeifer & Bernhard Kreutzer, Thomas Thiede and Lin Wei-Lung.

"Zwischen/Raum" functions as a refuge- and a tea-room and was designed in collaboration with Friederike Daumiller. Granser combines in this installation his photographic work with architecture, objects and a complex soundpiece by Jan Jelinek.
