“French artist Saâdane Afif. In his work, french artist Saâdane Afif appropriates strategies of art and music, in order to critique common notions of interpretation and repetition, and to reflect on artistic authorship. His installations combine lyrics and music, for instance from popular culture, with prefabricated or ready-made objects.
For ‘L’S BELLS—The Busker of the Gray Line’, Afif invited Brooklyn-based street musician Mount Moon to compose and perform nine songs using such texts, in his American singer-songwriter style. While the lyrics will be presented at the gallery, the other part of the exhibition will wander through the city with Mount Moon, who will perform the songs in the Bedford Avenue and Lorimer Street subway stations in Brooklyn at various unannounced times throughout the exhibition period.” –from the Goethe-Institut
