Sanatorium Merkurial returns to Morphine Raum in Berlin with a focused programme featuring Katarzyna Karpowicz and su dance110. Their distinct practices meet within some of the central concerns of Sanatorium Merkurial: ambiguity, transformation and affect. Sanatorium Merkurial is a collaborative project developed by Sanatorium of Sound and Merkurial, bringing together highly individual artistic practices emerging from different musical and cultural contexts. Rather than proposing a unified aesthetic position, the project focuses on artists who develop their own musical languages beyond the dominant narratives of the Western European avant-garde. It is particularly interested in practices where tradition is approached not as something to be reconstructed or preserved, but as material capable of generating new forms, and in the affective dimension of abstract music — its capacity to operate through the body, intensity and tension. In the work of Karpowicz and su dance110, these questions take distinctly different forms, bringing two individual practices into dialogue without reducing their differences to a shared aesthetic language.
