This year is the 80th anniversary of Hitler's cynical, disingenuous and ultimately murderous Entartete Kunst project. Kurt Schwitters was one of its' targets. We and our good friend Carolyn Francis were invited back to the Schwitters Merzbarn by Ian Hunter and Celia Larner to commemorate a dark moment by celebrating its' unwitting legacy along with Jens-Peter Voss, German Consulate General in Scotland and The North, and an eclectic mix of visitors including artists, students, activists and musicians. This kind of collaboration/collision is what we had in mind when we first rolled the pipes out..voices, bellows, air-driven sounds, rough music, repetition and, on this occasion in particular, a delight in incongruity, absurdity and impurity.
