With a reading
+ dj set feat VALESKA

I am delighted in my little sin
 
the screamers of the barrio, the locos del barrio the prophets
who are like why is nobody listening to me
I have to scream and still nobody is listening
what does it mean to be a prophet and not listened to
their prophecies are eaten by the masses before they can be heard
 
Can you deploy the vigour and energy of propaganda in service of life itself?
 
Madeleine Stack is an artist and writer. Their site-specific exhibitions often use atmospheric conditions, perishable materials and by-products alongside engraved passages, unholy books and rotting verses, to turn a glass eye on the contemporary votive practices of queerness, revolution, religion and communications technology. They are particularly interested in the intimate circulation of bodies, capital and languages, and the lack of divisibility between extremes and mundanities of pleasure, loss and distance, as well as the regurgitated ideologies found growing around alternative forms of living.
 
Leipzig-based artist and DJ Valeska's sets and mixes are driven by an enthusiasm for ever-changing rhythmic structures, unheard sounds, vigorous stabs and kicks, and uneasy moods. On stage, Valeska's sets quickly shift from soft embraces to heavy hits. Reflected in her musical excursions undertaken on tapes for the local Prepaid Records label, as part of the Pracht e.V. and in numerous other contexts. Other than that, she's part of the DJ collective L1CK, which traces modern currents of club music and uncovers new movements for ears and feet.
