MONTOYA
Once again - with great pleasure - Berlin´s venue for art and fashion
MONTOYA announces the next event!
Gay Brasilian multi-talented-artist
Marcio Marques
is offering
contemplation: possibilities of musing about desire, false attractions
and impossibilities through his installations.
Not one but two musical highlights we will enjoy this night: contraduo Rave Icon & Benson love to combine the opposing. Feminine
electro-melancholia meets masculine in your face rock and roll
electro beats.
Also Die Outlanders will hit the stage in perfect harmony with
enchanting indie/pop/rock vibes. Two gentlemen, one with a crystal
clear high range voice and the other´s unique touch on the drum set
bring us brilliant music.
This evening will be loaded with personalities and feelings, endlessly
deep and true. A must do experience!

Starting March 14th MONTOYA shows his installations
and 1 de 2.
Polissemia
Polissemia
“Polissemia” is about subjective architecture, presenting a diversity
of thematic possibilities that emerge as impermanence in dynamic
territories.
At first televisions appear in an empty space, simulating a starry sky.
Gradually a skyline may be seen in an urban landscape. Analogies
emerge between the virtual and real world, the urban and outer
space, the public and the private areas.
The flow of the contend in the televisions creates another dynamic as
images cross form one window to another, creating infections and
unfolding echoes throughout space. Social and organic forces cross
the body in a process where the mental, social and environmental
ecology is blended in the technosphere. Here our subjectivity
develops.
1 de 2
“1 de 2” (1 of 2) is a set of
images
that
were
printed
twice.
These
pairs
were
recombined and just one half
makes up the installation. The
rest were sent to different
cities for household usage as
placemats in private houses. The other group is set up as an
exhibition, simulating windows in a building. They are offering
contemplation: possibilities of musing about desire, false attractions
and impossibilities.
Rave Icon & Benson
Rave Icon & Benson is a Belgium duo
consisting of Veronica De Rycke and Michael
Bennetsen.
Bringing a nice individual selection of the
boths musical range, the result will be an
awesome blend of Rave Icon´s electronic
melancholy and Benson´s rock and roll and in
your face electro beats. „We like to combine
acoustic elements in all this ´Elektro-Zeug´“.
While Benson is a professional guitar player
having performed for more than ten years in a
ska band, he now is producing and performing
for his own band DTNA in Belgium. Rave Icon his counterpart - is a Russia born professional
piano player.
The both met in July 2014 during a collaboration
in Belgium and decided to move to Berlin
afterwards. Excellent decision!
What can we expect this night at MONTOYA?

Die Outlanders

Die Outlanders is an indie rock
pop duo, formed in 2014 and
currently operating in Berlin.
We have two decent gentlemen
here brining us far out brilliant
music:
Adir
O
Ohayon
(songwriter,
singer,
guitar
player) and Gilad Gili Reichental
(drums). Their specialty is an
epic melding of alternative rock
influences and the raw simplicity of pop composition arrangements.
Adir's crystal clear high range voice and Gili's unique touch on the
drum set give Die Outlanders´ music a very personal feel and never
ending depth.
Die Outlanders are currently working on their debut album and
playing live shows in Berlin and all over Europe. It is our grand
pleasure to present you this beautifully dainty experience tonight at
MONTOYA.
