In cooperation with Mood Karlsruhe, the ZKM and HfG present the legendary artist and music group Chicks on Speed. At the end of the 1990s, Kiki Moorse, Melissa Logan, and Alex Murray-Leslie, students at Munich’s art academy, founded the electro-punk band. With their famous multimedia performances, Chicks on Speed blur the borders between art world and underground. Lately, they have begun to perform more frequently at art institutions. Most recently they appeared, among other places, at MoMA, New York, and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Star-VJs und DJs, such as Tobias Thomas, Âme featuring Kristian Beyer and Shahrokh Dini, will provide a perfect warm up. A highlight of this concert evening will be the Chicks on Speed’s remix of the 1970s band Hotel Morphila Orchester. The present ZKM chairman and artist Peter Weibel was one of the band’s members in its day.
