CRU – Contemporary Radical Underground

March 25 – April 27, 2017 

OPENING RECEPTION Thursday, January 26 | 7 – 9 pm

CRU (“RAW” in French) is both a physical magazine and a virtual body: a secret website of sound art with access through a code only given to those who have bought the magazine and a printed issue documenting CRU exhibitions and performances held at La Plaque Tournante, a non-commercial artist space in Neukölln, Berlin. Conceived as a four-part publication, each edition CRU features postcards, posters, exhibition images, limited edition artworks, a DVD of performances and an audio CD. This is the first exhibition of CRU magazine, with deluxe editions of 1 and 2, curated by Martha Willette Lewis. A subsequent exhibition has been organized for later this year in London. Artists include: Frédéric Acquaviva, Tomomi Adachi, Silva Gabriéla Béju, Broutin, Henri Chopin, Denis Dufour, Bernard Heidsieck, Hém-Ish, Ione, Johannes Kreidler, Katherine Liberovskaya, Loré Lixenberg, Jacques Lizène, Alvin Lucier, Alex Mincek, Phill Niblock, Pauline Oliveros, François Poyet, Trevor Wishart and Gil J Wolman.

This event is free and open to the public; we do want to remind people who’ve never been here before that the Institute Library can only be reached by walking up a flight of stairs, and the Library is not ADA-compliant.
