Angles of Incidence (AoI) 40° 3° is a 24 hour creative exchange spanning from 22.00 - 22.00. Brought to Matadero Madrid by the Architectural Association’s Interprofessional Studio (AAIS) based in London, in collaboration with HfMT Köln, the KunstSalon Foundation, and New Movement Collective.

This platform congregates the movers and makers of culture in a dynamic environment that activates the potential of the creative network across borders and genres. Incidences unfold in series of transforming moments, where professionals and the public interact in an original performance.  In this way, AoI initiates a lasting network of exchange. Evolving from the intimate setting of a dinner through to a public market, the performance comes together in five entangled acts - Supper, Concert, Lounge, Market, and Show - between the interior space of Nave 16 through to the Plaza Matadero.
 

Act I - The Supper

from 22:00 – 00:00

The supper will delight the palate and rouse conversation with a fusion of salon talks and bite-sized courses set within a networked rope environment. The Supper is curated in collaboration with Ariadna Cantis, where members of the audience are invited to contribute to this special culinary and conversational exchange.
Price: 40 € (Concert adn lounge included).
30€ for students and young art professionals (who can prove this condition with any document)
 

Act II - The Concert

from 00:00 – 03:00

The concert is a series of cyclical performances throughout the evening where the audience, performer, and environment are interchanged. This performance brings together timing in sound and space, featuring the AoI music collective from Köln, a special DJ set from Andy Dean and others.
Price: 5 € (payment at ticket office)

 

Act III - The Lounge

from 03-11h.

The lounge offers the opportunity to spend the night cocooned in specially designed pods suspended from the rope environment.  Following the supper and concert, guests can experience the full 24 hours of AoI. The Lounge will revitalise the senses.
Price: 15€
 

Act IV - The Market

from 11:00 – 22:00

The market offers gourmet local food, where local farmers, restaurateurs, and visitors collaborate to create tasty new dishes. The market also houses workshops together with New Movement dance collective and others.

Act V - The Show

from 21:00 – 22:00

The show is the final performance of AoI 40°, 3° a collaboration with dance collective New Movement, AoI music collective Köln and Andy Dean.  Where architectural installations transform into performance, then into art, then into sound, then into stage, and back again, unraveling and unknotting the very structure through which they have been formed.
Free entrance
 

Angles of Incidence will occur in a series across Europe in 2012 with performances in Köln [50°, 6°], Madrid [40°, 3°] and London [51°, 0°]. The project is the product of the Architectural Association’s Interprofessional Studio, which aims to expose a hidden ‘worknet’ between multiple professions and their products.


“AAIS performances take a holistic approach, which surmounts the traditional division of the disciplines of architecture, dance, music, visual arts, and interactive art.  At Matadero Madrid, we are constantly experimenting with this interdisciplinary approach, and our collaboration with AAIS brings into focus new possibilities to explore and potential directions to pursue in this realm”. Manuela Villa, Art Programme Director, Matadero Madrid
 

“The Interprofessional Studio was set up to explore the genuinely multidisciplinary, collaborative conditions of contemporary design [...] AAIS is a valuable and meaningful tool to challenge today’s climate of ‘service professions’ that have begun to erode architecture. The course, in contrast to traditional architectural programmes, draws attention to the distinctly cross-disciplinary experiments starting as early as a century ago.”  Brett Steele, Director of the Architectural Association School of Architecture in an Interview with Programme Director, Theo Lorenz
