Angles of Incidence (AoI) 40°, 3° is a 24 hour creative exchange spanning from 22.00 - 22.00. This platform congregates the movers and makers of culture in a dynamic environment that activates the potential of the creative network across borders and genres. Incidences unfold in series of transforming moments, where professionals and the public interact in an original performance. In this way, AoI initiates a lasting network of exchange. Evolving from the intimate setting of a private dinner through to a public market, the performance comes together in five entangled acts - the Supper, Concert, Lounge, Market, and Show - between the interior space of Nave 16 and on Plaza Matadero.

Act IThe Supper will delight the palate and rouse conversation with a fusion of salon talks and bite-sized courses set within a networked rope environment designed by AAIS. The Supper is an exclusive event curated by Ariadna Cantis together with the AAIS, where members of the audience are invited to contribute to this special culinary and conversational dialogue.

About

Since January 2009, the Architectural Association’s Interprofessional Studio (AAIS) has been challenging the frontiers of working in between art, architecture and performance. The studio, operating as an interdisciplinary creative office where knowledge exchange is one of the core points of focus, finds overlaps in the various expertise of its members to develop a language that spans the creative disciplines. Led by Studio Director, Theo Lorenz, and Studio Master, Tanja Siems, AAIS has successfully completed 7 projects to date across Europe including AoI 50°, 6° [Mar 2012], Exquisite Corpse AA [Sept 2011], EC DQE [July 2011], EC MM [Apr 2011], C’n’B [Jun 2010], Seed to Scene [May 2010], and Theaterhaus Jena [May 2009].

Act IIThe Concert is a series of cyclical performances throughout the evening where the audience, performer, and environment are interchanged. This performance brings together timing in sound and space, featuring the AoI music collective from Köln, a special DJ set from Andy Dean and others. Act III - The Lounge offers the opportunity to spend the night cocooned in specially designed pods suspended from the rope environment. Following the supper and concert, 20 special guests can experience the full 24 hours of AoI. The Lounge will revitalise the senses.

Act IVThe Market offers gourmet local food prepared and served within structures designed by AAIS. Local farmers, restaurateurs, and

visitors collaborate to create tasty new dishes.

The market also houses workshops by AAIS and New Movement. Act VThe Show is the final performance of AoI 40°, 3°, a collaboration between AAIS, New Movement Collective, AoI music collective Köln and Andy Dean

- Where architectural

installations transform into

performance, then into art, then into sound, then into stage, and back again, unraveling and unknotting the very structure through which they have been formed.

Angles of Incidence will occur in a series across Europe in 2012 with performances in Köln [50°, 6°], Madrid [40°, 3°] and London [51°, 0°]. The project is the product of the Architectural Association’s Interprofessional Studio, which aims to expose a hidden ‘worknet’ between multiple professions and their products.

“The Interprofessional Studio was set up to explore the genuinely multidisciplinary, collaborative conditions of contemporary design [...] AAIS is a valuable and meaningful tool to challenge today’s climate of ‘service professions’ that have begun to erode architecture. The course, in constract to traditional architectural programmes, draws attention to the distinctly cross-disciplinary experiments starting as early as a century ago.” Brett Steele, Director of the Architectural Association School of Architecture in an Interview with Theo Lorenz
