Museum Oder-Spree "Listening and Noising" // Exhibition Opening

How far can one trust their ears? At least this year, as far as the borders of the Oder-Spree district. Those who want to discover who is behind the sounds and noises of the region between loud and quiet should not only open their eyes at the new annual exhibition of the museum oder-spree. … And again I seek you, you dark refuge, and your mighty rustling of treetops now speak! I give you the word! The lament and jubilation have fallen silent. I want to listen. Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 – 1898) Meyer's dialogue with the forest reads as if it has always been a ritual of the (sought-after) solitude. Where "sound events" annoy, even provoke disputes, "forest bathing" can be the solution. Instead of making noise, we listen. Between these extremes stretches the arc of stories that range from forest silence to sirens and polyphonically "set to music" our present in the new annual exhibition of the museum oder-spree.
