Light Art, Music und Performance
with Rina Kaçinari, Özlem Bulut und Sakina Teyna
5.10.2024
Überdachte Ausstellungsfläche
Freyung 8, 1010 Wien
For Verfassung im Dialog on October 4 and 5, an event organized jointly with the Constitutional Court, the Foundation will focus on a creative approach: how can art and constitutional law communicate with each other? What ideas and associations can be released with the help of a creative intervention?
On the evening of October 5, these and other questions will be explored on the Freyung: Light artist Victoria Coeln, composer Maria Gstättner, musicians and vocalists Özlem Bulut and Sakina Teyna, cellist Rina Kaçinari, DJ Feine Töne, performer Žiga Jereb and others will focus on exchange, similarities and communication between art and law as part of a performative assembly. The creative communication between the basis of the rule of law and the mobility of performative art will open up new perspectives and constitute the independence and interdependence of art and law.
Artists' biographies
Born in Prishtina (Kosovo) into a family of musicians, Rina Kaçinari studied cello at the Music Academy Zagreb and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. She worked as an orchestral musician at the State Opera Maribor and has been living as a freelance musician in Vienna since 2006. Rina gained recognition through the duo Catch-Pop String-Strong and now performs solo and collaborates with various musicians and bands. As a theater musician, she has played at renowned theaters in Austria, and her compositions, accompanied by her vocals, traverse the realms of jazz, tango, pop, world music, and the underground scene. In addition, she is engaged in educational activities, offering workshops both nationally and internationally for all age groups.
Özlem Bulut, with captivating stage presence, forges a unique connection between folk and pop as an opera and jazz singer. Born in Eastern Anatolia, she has paved an impressive path from her beginnings as a street musician to engagements at opera houses such as the Vienna State Opera and Opéra Bastille in Paris. Since 2008, she has been shaping the world music scene with her own project, blending elements of Anatolian and Oriental music with jazz, pop, and soul. Özlem's debut album, "Bulut," carries the essence of clouds, as "Bulut" means in Turkish. The poignant lyrics, often composed in her native Turkish, address contemporary societal issues, from child marriage to a life without identification. Her artistic contributions were honored with the Mia Award in 2012.
Sakina Teyna, a Kurdish singer, served as a vocalist in the Center for Kurdish Culture and Art in Istanbul from 1991.
