life and work
Nevin Aladağ has Turkish roots, has lived in Germany since 1973 and grew up in Stuttgart. From 1993 to 2000 she studied sculpture with Olaf Metzel at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich .
In 2017, Aladağ's performance Musikzimmer was performed at documenta 14 . In collaboration with instrument makers , she transformed pieces of furniture into musical instruments that can be used as extraordinary sound bodies. During the exhibitions, the objects created in this way are played at set times as part of a performance. “Raise The Roof” was performed at the Venice Biennale . In the process, dancers leave prints on copper plates with the stiletto heels of their shoes by dancing to different songs that are only played through headphones and are therefore not audible to the audience. The titles of the songs can be read on the t-shirts of the dancers.
