Cassette Culture Node.Linz
An exhibition collection by Wolfgang “Fadi” Dorninger OÖ Kulturquartier 21.6. - 14.7.2018
Cassette Culture Node.Linz shows how Wolfgang “Fadi” Dorninger from Linz broke out of his musical and artistic solitude in Linz and became active in the global network of cassette culture. The exhibition illuminates this parallel culture from the sphere of action of Dorninger's cassette label Die Ind (1983 - 1994) and the Linz bands Monochrome Bleu and Josef K. Noyce. With the help of the Cassette Culture Network, Dorninger toured with both bands across Europe and several times through the USA. Under the motto “Contact, Document and Exchange”, an action space developed that the protagonists have not left to this day. “You could only be there if you made contact and you could only stay there if you maintained a lively exchange and got a node running.” With increasing density and global networking, an active and interconnected community emerged. Tape compilations were the driving force behind this communal trade. Dorninger networked the Linz underground scene locally with the “Fadi The Sampler Linz” (1984 - 1988) and internationally with the “Tape Report” (1985 - 1990).
In the exhibition Cassette Culture Node.Linz, Wolfgang Dorninger opens up his archive consisting of tapes, fanzines, letters, folders, flyers and videos, revealing the strategies of this network. The exhibition also explores the question of whether Cassette Culture and its strategies can provide tools for today's music-making. Lectures and workshops will explore how radically artificial intelligence will change music production, what future music might look like and whether old-fashioned concepts such as attitude, authenticity and do it yourself still have any validity.
Wolfgang Dorninger will guide visitors through the exhibition every day and workshops, concerts and lecture evenings will take place every week as part of the accompanying program. According to Dorninger, the exhibition is sure to delight “music maniacs” and “tapelunatics” and open up new perspectives for people interested in art and culture. Information, links, ...
