Shasha Chen, Ute Wassermann

Concert and artist talk

On October 21, Shasha Chen (Fellow 2026) will be exploring the virtual-audio performance space as a living organism. In this environment, screens, sound, and live performance elements interact like interdependent “organs,” forming a dynamic and responsive system adapted to Grüner Salon. As part of Chen’s ongoing series fe-[mute(male)], the work examines the reproduction, commodification, circulation, and consumption of the female body as a simulacrum.

You’re invited to join us for an artist talk between Shasha Chen and Ute Wassermann after the performance. The talk is in English.

The project was first commissioned by SANE - Spatial Audio Network Europe as part of the Artist-in-Residence programme @ ECHO Factory, Festspielhaus Hellerau (Dresden), and ZiMMT (Leipzig).
