The Beautiful Formula Collective is about painting and creating collective works based on The Beautiful Formula Language. The Beautiful Formula Language makes it possible to understand the course of compositions, to realize the compositions and to design new ones. We use the combination of spontaneity, improvisation, and rhythm in applying colors to surfaces. The Beautiful Formula Collective paints not only in the studio, but also in public spaces. The Beautiful Formula Collective has performed and exhibited in Kyiv, Singapore, Zurich, Istanbul, London and Wuhan, to name a few stops.
The Platforms Project is an international exhibition of the independent art scene and has been presented every year since 2013. The objective of Platforms Project is to map artistic action as it is produced in the context of collective initiatives by artists who decide to join forces in seeking answers to artistic questions by creating the so-called platforms.

NEW YORKER JAZZ TRIFFT AUF EINE LIVE-PAINTING-PERFORMANCE!
IM RAHMEN DER 1. BIENNALE LINDAU
Sonntag, 3. Juli 2022, 19:30 Uhr
Stadttheater Lindau
88131 Lindau (Bodensee)
Eintritt frei

Steve Coleman und Five Elements erkunden mit ihrem in Kürze erscheinenden Live-Auftritt im renommierten Village Vanguard in New York City, “Mdw Ntr”, ein neues Terrain in der Anwendung nicht-linearer Aufführungspraktiken in der Musik des MacArthur-Stipendiaten Steve Coleman. Mit seinem langjährigen Vorzeige-Ensemble Five Elements verwendet er spontane und vorkomponierte Module oder motivische Zellen, die in beliebiger Reihenfolge gespielt werden können und es jedem Musiker ermöglichen, spontan zu verschiedenen Abschnitten vor- oder zurückzuspringen – sogar zwischen Kompositionen – und so verschiedene Schichten der Musik hervorzuheben und die Form bei jeder Aufführung auf völlig interaktive Weise neu zu erfinden.

Die spontane und reflexartige Reaktion auf visuelle Bedingungen einer Komposition auf der Fläche ist
die wesentliche Struktur von The Beautiful Formula Collective. The Beautiful Formula Collective setzt sich mit der Malerei und der Schaffung kollektiver Werke auf der Grundlage der Kombination aus Spontaneität, Improvisation und der Logik des Rhythmus, die beim Anbringen von Farben Strukturen und Regeln gibt, auseinander. The Beautiful Formula Collective produziert und inszeniert Gruppenarbeiten nicht nur im Atelier, sondern auch als Live-Painting-Performance vor Publikum. The Beautiful Formula Collective hat Live-Painting-Performances an Kunsthochschulen, Galerien und Museen in München, Zürich, Istanbul, Teheran und London durchgeführt, um nur einige zu nennen.

Kompositionen mit konstanten rhythmischen Motiven werden von den Künstler*innen beider Disziplinen vor dem Publikum in variabler Form ausgeführt.
