For the first time, Casey Spooner performs his latest album With Love From Death Beach. The transcendental dance album consists of complex arrangements, produced by Julian Stetter.

As part of the public programme accompanying the exhibition DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG by Rirkrit Tiravanija, the Gropius Bau invites you to a monthly series of Long Evenings. In addition to the concert, there will be a screening of a film by Rirkrit Tiravanija and a conversation between Isabelle Graw, Jackie Thomae and Brigitte Weingart on the same evening.

Having been written and recorded on a nudist beach in Mexico, With Love From Death Beach continues the years-long collaboration between Stetter and Spooner. It brings together Stetter’s experience in theatrical score and underground club culture with Spooner’s raw vocals and intense lyrics. Stetter’s sense of drama combined with Spooner’s penchant for heightened character and narrative create a vibrant techno opera about sex and death.

At Gropius Bau, Spooner is also debuting his first bronze sculpture that has been produced in collaboration with Noack Bildgießerei.

 

Casey Spooner is a multifaceted artist and co-founder of the electroclash duo Fischerspooner. Engaging with themes of spectacle, politics, glamour, sexuality, the body and emotion, Spooner’s work has been featured in institutions such as the MoMA and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), Mumok (Vienna) and Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin).
