"Reich Richter Pärt, an immersive live performance and exhibition in two parts—one conceived by composer Steve Reich and painter Gerhard Richter, the other by Richter and composer Arvo Pärt—explores the shared sensory language of visual art and music. The Richter Pärt partnership builds on a concept developed by Alex Poots and Hans Ulrich Obrist for the Manchester International Festival and features a live performance of Pärt’s captivating choral composition surrounded by Richter’s new work, including wallpaper and three jacquard tapestries. The Reich Richter collaboration, a Shed commission, draws connections between Richter’s mathematical formula for his “Patterns” series and Reich’s rigorous, repeating musical structures in a moving picture work made with Corinna Belz synchronized with a live performance of a new Reich composition. Organized by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Senior Program Advisor, and Alex Poots, Artistic Director and CEO Richter Pärt Choral composition Reich Richter commission"
