Through live music and short films, Intuition Festival touches on themes in The Broad’s collection exhibition, Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature. On the outdoor stage, Osees—torchbearers of Krautrock pioneers such as Can, Kraftwerk, and NEU!—let loose in an energetic special set, moving between songs from their prolific oeuvre and improvisations responding to themes of the festival. Alejandro (Ale) Cohen, Music Director at KCRW, will be playing vinyl from his personal collection to open the event, representing the genre known as “Krautrock” and related contemporary music. His DJ set will trace the lineage sparked by artists such as Michael Rother and Kraftwerk and contextualize their work with those they have influenced over the decades.
On the indoor stage, harpist Mary Lattimore and accordionist Walt McClements collaborate on a performance that stretches the limits of what their respective instruments are expected to do in a meditative, healing, and uplifting sonic experience. Barr, whose personal reinvention throughout her career echoes the shapeshifting and self-mythologizing Joseph Beuys, performs in a reinvigorated iteration of her fomer Kill Rock Stars label era output. Clare Major’s short documentary film, OUTCRY: Alchemists of Rage, follows activist and sexual abuse survivor Whitney Bradshaw as she photographs women mid-scream in cathartic group sessions in a journey from anger and heartbreak to triumph and joy.
