The Stupid Orchestra
Household appliances in a Symphony delirium is not something that you normally expect to see in a Museum. Well, not anymore! Conductor, cembalist and composer Michael Petermann (aka Weisser Rausch) gathered 200 historic vacuum cleaners, mixers and washing machines, transforming them into musical instruments.
In this half an hour performance a telephone is the conductor and the all the vacuum cleaners and the mixers are the musicians. The Stupid Orchestra will be ‘performing’ until April 30th 2011 at the MKG Hamburg (Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg) and will make you reconsider the way you think about home appliances.
