40 years of SIM at the Kulturforum
The Berlin Cultural Forum as a sound space

40 years ago, on December 14, 1984, the State Institute for Music Research (SIM) and its Musical Instrument Museum moved into the new building at the Kulturforum. It was built in the immediate vicinity of the Philharmonie according to plans by architects Hans Scharoun and Edgar Wisniewski. This anniversary is an occasion for reflection, discussion and celebration.
In lectures on Luigi Nono's sketch of an "Ars combinatoria" at the Kulturforum, on sound art in public space and on bells in urban space and their compositional treatment, the first part of the symposium is dedicated to architecturally influenced music and the Kulturforum as a specific performance space for music. Following this, speakers from various disciplines will deal with the Kulturforum as a musically shaped urban landscape. The history of the building in connection with Hans Scharoun's concept of "music at the center" and especially the architecture of the State Institute for Music Research with the Musical Instrument Museum as well as the Kulturforum as a soundscape will be discussed from a media studies and spatial acoustics perspective. Finally, the potential for networking interdisciplinary artistic research and musicology at the Kulturforum will be negotiated, rounded off by a round table with representatives of the neighboring institutions in order to take stock and discuss the current situation and to think together about a stronger networking of artistic and scientific sound and music-related activities at the Kulturforum.
With contributions from Veniero Rizzardi (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), Angela Ida de Benedictis (Paul Sacher Foundation), Julia H. Schröder (Berlin University of the Arts), Jo Wilhelm Siebert (SIM), Nikolaus Bernau (journalist and author), Flavia Hennig (SIM), Heinz von Loesch (SIM), Hannah Wiemer (Institute for Media Studies), Stefan Weinzierl (TU Berlin), Simone Hohmaier (SIM).
