Ornament & Verbrechen

In the organizer's words:

Robert and Ronald Lippok founded the music group "Ornament & Verbrechen" in East Berlin in 1983. With their raw sound aesthetics between jazz and punk, industrial and electronic, "Ornament & Verbrechen" shaped the underground scenes of the GDR before the fall of the Wall. The brothers saw the band as an open platform. As they were forbidden to perform in public, their concerts took place in the studios of artist friends, apartments or even churches. Even though Robert and Ronald Lippok went on to achieve international fame in other bands such as "Tarwater" and "To Rococo Rot", "Ornament & Verbrechen" still exists today. The appearances of "Ornament & Verbrechen" resemble performances for which Robert and Ronald Lippok develop spatial concepts or integrate the sonic properties of objects into their improvisations.

The concert by "Ornament & Verbrechen" takes place as part of the exhibition Andrea Pichl. Value Economy.
