LIMPE FUCHS & MARK FELL

 

Mark Fell is a multidisciplinary artist based in Rotherham (UK). Recognised as being “one of the most compelling and influential electronic artists in the world” his practice draws upon electronic music subcultures, experimental film, contemporary philosophy and radical politics. Over the past 30 years Fell’s output has grown into a significant body of work: from early electronic sound works and recorded pieces, to installation, critical texts, curatorial projects, educational systems and choreographic performances. 

In 2017 Fell curated a major exhibition of sound art for V-A-C foundation (Moscow) “The Geometry of Now”; he led a British council research project to India to study Carnatic music composition and emergent electronic arts (with AC Projects Glasgow); and Serralves Foundation (Porto) premiered “Intermetamorphosis” which featured collection of works by Fell including new commissions as well as retrospective pieces. In 2018 he completed two large scale multi-spatial sound works: “Protomusic#1” for Sage Gateshead, forming their flagship contribution to the Great Exhibition of the North; and “Frameworks” at Palazzo delle Zattere (Venice). 2019 saw two new performative pieces: “Hominin” (Rewire, Den Haag/Bergen Kunsthall) and “Against Method” (Pirelli Hanger Bicocca, Milan), as well as the solo exhibition “The Concept of Time is Intrinsically Incoherent” (Focal Point Gallery, South End on Sea). Drawing from sacred geometries to programming structures, these works underlined Fell’s particular interest in non-linear systems and structures, and our complex inter-relationships with them. 

The diversity and importance of Fell's practice is reflected in the range and scale of institutions that have presented his work: VAC Foundation Palazzo delle Zattere (Venice), Hong Kong National Film Archive, The Baltic (Gateshead), Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, La Casa Encendida (Madrid), Laboral (XIxon), The Institute of Contemporary Art (London), Royal Festival Hall (London), The Serpentine (London), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Whitechapel Gallery (London), The Institute of Contemporary Art (London), Barbican (London), Raven Row (London), Seville Biennale, The Australian Centre For Moving Image (Melbourne), Artists Space (NYC), Moma (NYC), Issue Project Room (NYC), Corcoran (DC), Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (NY), Lampo/Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts (Chicago), Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (Karlsruhe), Pirelli Hanger Biccoca (Milan) among others. Fell's work is in the collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (Vienna) and has been recognised by ARS Electronica (Linz). He has worked with a number of artists including: Yasunao Tone, Laurie Spiegel, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Okkyung Lee, Luke Fowler, Will Guthrie, Peter Gidal, Terre Thaemlitz, John Chowning, Ernest Edmonds, Peter Rehberg, Oren Ambarchi, Carl Michael Von Hausswolff and Mat Steel (as SND). 

Limpe Fuchs received her first piano lessons at the age of about twelve. After completing her secondary education, she studied from 1962 to 1967 at the Munich University of Music, initially school music up to the artistic examination as well as piano and violin, later percussion with Professor Hans Hölzl. In the early 1970s, she began developing her own instruments made of wood, metal, or stone together with her husband Paul Fuchs. Together, they founded the duo Anima Musica in 1969, which quickly gained recognition in the German music scene. From 1972 to 1978, she formed the trio Anima with her husband and Friedrich Gulda. In 1988, she went on an Atlantic Crossing tour with flutist Carlos Nakai. At the end of the 1980s, the group disbanded.

Limpe Fuchs played in numerous formations. For example, from 1985 to 1988 she formed the duo Consonanza Personale with Friedrich Gulda; from 1994 to 1997 the Julias Trio with Sebi Tramontana and Georg Karger and in 2006 played in the Occhio Quartet with Hans Wolf, Zoro Babel, and Elmar Guantes. In 2012, she performed with five musicians and a choir (conducted by Michael Fischer) as part of the Wien Modern festival. In 2017, she played in the ensemble Bunte Truppe together with Ruth-Maria Adam, Ignaz Schick, and Ronnie Oliveras. She also collaborated with musicians such as Albert Mangelsdorff, Hans Rettenbacher, and Theo Jörgensmann. In 2015, the Berlin record label Play Loud! Productions released the complete catalog of Anima and Limpe Fuchs in the form of the Limpe Fuchs Archive.
