Concert Tim Shaw & Heinz Riegler

As part of his 2-week residency at bb15, Tim Shaw invites Austrian artist and musician Heinz Riegler to perform alongside him for an impromptu response to the sounds of Linz. Drawing upon local field recordings, sound synthesis and acoustically stimulated found objects Shaw and Riegler will form a highly spatialised soundscape within the gallery space.
Heinz Riegler is an Austrian born artist working
between Australia and Europe. First emerging as a songwriter and
performer in the late 1980s, Riegler has since expanded his output
across video, installation and visual art.
