Haunch of Venison Berlin
Haunch of Venison will open its major new Berlin space with a unique performance, presented by Jamie Shovlin, of the legendary German band Lustfaust and Berlin-based Schneider TM. The opening event follows Shovlin’s presentation at the ICA London in 2005 of ‘Lustfaust: A Folk Anthology 1976-1981′, an elaborate archive of fan memorabilia documenting the activities of Lustfaust in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The archive contains cassette covers and posters made by the band’s supporters; fan reminiscences; a film-led interview with one of the band members, and samples of Lustfaust’s music. The event on 13 September will allow Lustfaust to perform as never before, and will be broadcast live on this website to ensure that it can be enjoyed by Lustfaust fans the world over.
During the first two weeks of September, a limited edition series of 47 new and unique 7” record covers created by the original designers of artwork found in the Lustfaust archive will be previewed daily online. Subscribe to the Lustfaust-Live mailing list and we will send you regular news updates detailing the release artwork.
Members of Lustfaust and Schenider TM will also add regularly to the Lustfaust-Live blog, posting images and video clips of rehearsals. We welcome anyone attending the event on 13 September to record the event and send us clips for posting on Lustfaust-Live.
Haunch of Venison Berlin will present an exhibition of the Lustfaust archives from 14 – 16 September.
