Lasse -Marc Riek

His works are interdisciplinary and can be conceived as groups of works of both visual art (action and conceptual art) and sound art.

Here, Riek uses acoustic field recordings, storing them with different recording media, editing, archiving and presenting them in different contexts. 
Since 1997, he has operated internationally with exhibitions, concerts, lectures and projects and given guest performances in galleries, art museums, churches and museums. Contributions in public media as well as in podcasts. Scholarships, Awards, Nominations and Artist-in-Residencies and Audio- and Book Releases in Europe, Japan and Africa.

The choice of the locations is purely subjective and does not foll…
