studio remains closed & master class launch
within
the current lockdown situation the studio will remain closed. we announced the
temporary closing back in november 2020 expecting to reopen in february. now it
is clear that big productions, software renting, personal interaction among assistances
and internship students does not make sense within the pandemic and the lockdown
situation. piayda is recently working on new work drafts and show concepts, but
no show is scheduled with a fixed date recently. the studio will remain closed
until further notice.
piayda has taken up a concept which was at first
announced in the news back in autumn 2018. here the idea was given to reduce producing
and exhibiting for turning to consulting. now the time is up: the studio offers
a digital master class, piayda will be teaching sound and vision in the context
of art. the master class will be offered as a digital format using video conference
tools, so you will be able to join form everywhere without any threat of the covid-19
virus. please check the studio website for applying, the master class will be
free, please apply by sharing your portfolio via website link and a short statement
of motivation.
even
if the studio is closed we have updated the portfolio site and have added a first
video piece and the first tableau works for 2021. updates to 2020 series have
also been added. find out yourself.
sven
piayda is once again in negotiations with the szeniale staff to place a video
piece outside on a digital billboard for the festival period. curator nancy e.
watt is recently working with the studio to pick, modify and produce the right
piece for it. more soon.
the
studio has been working on ‘little dancer of fourteen years’, a complex video
piece which is half done. the production needs some extra software and maintenance,
so the finishing of the piece is supposed to happen somewhere in the future. it
was supposed to be done in 2021, it is possible that it may be even later. cross
you fingers.
do
you miss visiting art shows or even making them? we do. for the meantime we have
updated the press kit, you can open and/or download it from the recourses
section.
the
multiverse memory created one year ago and was supposed to be presented within
the postponed ‘needle in the multiverse’ show. it is available from the studio
site but has not been exhibited or playable (it is supposed to be played!). please
be patient.
without
any announcement in advance and definitely surprising primal scapes and record
of tides released their new collaborative album ‘revenant euclids’ via zany music
and distributed via bandcamp. the album features ten tracks mostly based upon
randomized euclidian pattern. michael schreiber a.k.a. primal scapes has been
busy within the last weeks in illustrating the production method or even using
it live via streamed performance. the collaborative album was not mentioned but
was already produced in november and december 2020.
we
sad to announce the postponement of the new sven piayda solo exhibition at essen-based
kunstverein kunstwerden which was originally scheduled to be opened on sunday,
november 8 at 4 pm. the show entitled ‘needle in the multiverse’ as curated by
petra steinhardt combines multiple disciplines and aesthetic impressions. on october
21 the kunstwerden directorate has decided to close their rooms in reaction to
rising infection cases of the covid-19 pandemic. the show is supposed to be opened
when infection numbers go down again. the kunstverein kunstwerden and piayda considered
working together back in 2013 and have scheduled a 2020 show back in autumn last
year. as a result of the covid-19 pandemic a fixed opening date had not been announced
as the pandemic development might have delayed announced dates. the studio has
been working on this project for over a year now. during the lockdown certain
sneak peeks have been posted via news and journal.

michael
schreiber has directed and produced a video for the track ‘p110_fracture’. the
video features the full track as featured on the album. schreiber states: ‘sometimes
being a human in an urban environment feels like being part of the matrix and
I start thinking of giant 3d printers creating all these monotone structures.’
watch it over at youtube.
update
2021-01-09: we are delighted to announce that the final track from ‘revenant
euclids’, the current collaborative album by primal scapes x record of tides,
entitled ‘p73_aic_closing’ is featured on the recent episode (#554) of the weekly
sundae podcast as hosted by stefan schulz. back in august he record of tides track
‘exxa’ was already featured on episode 534 followed by two instrumentals from
the ‘entertain’ album in episode 549.
in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus - hütte
– hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja and
karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler and
sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides, the
‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only featured köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. with the ending of 2020 the group show in erlangen
ended, too. many thanks to gallery head gabriella hejja and all participating
artists for having this great show together.

back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display
as postcard versions at galerie gublia in essen.
