FLORIAN HECKER

In his installations and live performances, Hecker deals with specific compositional developments of post-war modernity, electro-acoustic music as well as other, non-musical disciplines. He dramatizes space, time and self-perception in his sonic works by isolating specific auditory events in their singularity, thus stretching the boundaries of their materialization. Recent solo exhibitions include MMK, Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt, IKON Gallery, Birmingham and Chisenhale Gallery London, all in 2010. In addition, he has an extensive discography including Haswell and Hecker, Blackest Ever Black (Electroacoustic UPIC Recordings), Warner Classics, 2007 and Acid in the Style of David Tudor. Editions Mego, 2009.
