In Reich Richter Pärt, painter Gerhard Richter presents two distinct immersive installations made in collaboration with two composers, Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt. The Richter Pärt partnership builds on a concept developed by Alex Poots and Hans Ulrich Obrist for the Manchester International Festival and features a live performance of Pärt’s captivating choral composition surrounded by Richter’s new work, including wallpaper and three jacquard tapestries. The Reich Richter collaboration, a Shed commission, draws connections between Richter’s mathematical formula for his “Patterns” series and Reich’s rigorous, repeating musical structures in a moving picture work made with Corinna Belz synchronized with a live performance of a new Reich composition.
