Raised between Germany, Turkey and Greece in an intercultural family and environment, Vert\u2019s artistic interests oscillate between religious systems, cultural identity, and language. The artist\u2019s multicultural background plays a key role in his research and work, as does his close connection to the various sub-cultural contexts of Berlin\u2019s club scene.<\/p>\n<p>Viron Erol Vert\u2019s site-specific installation, <em>The Hermit<\/em>, is created especially for the museum and is inspired by the work of Iannis Xenakis, the subject of two major exhibitions at E\u039c\u03a3\u03a4 in 2023-24. It aims to explore several aspects of the avant-garde composer, architect and mathematician\u2019s practice as well as highlight the influence he has had on contemporary musicians and sound artists.<\/p>\n<p>Vert\u2019s installation is an immersive, interactive gathering space with a nightclub-inspired aesthetic which is filled with sounds composed by contemporary experimental musicians (Agatha &amp; Kristianna Tsimpi, Korhan Erel, Franziska Lantz, Alexander Stewart \/ Ge1, Saint Precious, Andr\u00e9 Vida). At the same time, the six windchimes at its centre, transform the space itself into a musical instrument. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves and enjoy the enveloping audio-visual environment the artist has created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EM\u03a3\u03a4 | National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, invites you to the finissage of Viron Erol Vert\u2019s exhibition The Hermit with a live all-day music programme inspired by Vert\u2019s exhibition and his research into Iannis Xenakis and his work.
