MusikRaumGarage is a public rehearsal room on the level -3 of WIPARK Garage Freyung, Vienna. Every Tuesday musicians from different genres are giving a performance situated between concert and rehearsal, which can be followed via livestream or watched later in our Archive.
The concept elaborated by Dilruba Erkan and Peter Oroszlany originates from the idea of using family garages as rehearsal rooms. Re-using the idea of the garage as an off space for creation, MusikRaumGarage gives musicians access to experiment with the particular sound qualities of an underground parking lot. The raw acoustics of the concrete halls completed by the sound of bypassing cars defines the unique qualities of the performance space.
MusikRaumGaragen is part of the project KunstRaumGarage, which was initiated by WiPARK in cooperation with departure (Bettina Leidl) and University of Applied Arts Vienna (Barbara Putz-Plecko). It is curated by Barbara Holub, and takes place in Garage Freyung and in Votivpark-Garage. The garage as a formal context for art projects, which are reflecting on the fundamental questions about mobility, allows to address relevant topics surrounding urban public places.
