Danielle De Picciotto Danielle de Picciotto Danielle de Picciotto (* 19. Februar 1965) ist eine in Berlin lebende US-amerikanische Multimediakünstlerin. Sie arbeitet als Malerin, Zeichnerin, Musikerin, Autorin und Filmemacherin. Ihre Werke werden international ausgestellt. 1987 siedelte sie von New York City nach Berlin über. Zusammen mit ihrem damaligen Lebensgefährten Matthias „Dr. Motte“ Roeingh initiierte sie am 1. Juli 1989 die erste Loveparade in Berlin. Leben Als Sängerin war sie von 1990 bis 1995 Mitglied der Berliner Band Space Cowboys. Sie begründete 1997 zusammen mit Gudrun Gut den Ocean Club, einen offenen Ort, in dem Kunst und Musik vorgestellt werden. Später verwandelte sich das Projekt in eine Radiosendung. Sie beteiligte sich von 1995 bis 2000 maßgeblich an der Berliner Clubkunstkultur-Bewegung als Künstlerin/Kuratorin und gründete 1998 das Institut, eine Galerie, in der sie über 150 Künstler, Musiker und Schriftsteller vertrat. 1999 begründete sie die regelmäßige Ausstellungs- und Eventreihe Kunst oder König und präsentierte Berliner Künstler, Musiker und DJs in internationalem Rahmen in Gruppenausstellungen, Konzerten und Kulturprojekten - oftmals in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Goethe-Institut (Rom, Mailand, Neapel, Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Sarajevo). Sie wurde regelmäßig als Künstlerin und Kuratorin dazu aufgerufen, Berlin in seiner Vielseitigkeit und Kreativität zu präsentieren. 2005 initiierte sie Kunst oder Königin, eine Ausstellungsreihe, in der ausschließlich Künstlerinnen vorgestellt werden. 2005 produzierte sie zusammen mit Alexander Hacke und den Tiger Lillies das audiovisuelle Bühnenstück Mountains of Madness. Im Jahr 2006 heiratete sie ihren langjährigen Lebensgefährten Alexander Hacke, den Bassisten der Band Einstürzende Neubauten. 2007 erarbeiteten de Picciotto und Hacke das Werk von Sebastian Brant Das Narrenschiff, das im Folgejahr auch als DVD und CD veröffentlicht wurde. Beide tourten mit dem Werk weltweit. 2008 wurde Danielle de Picciotto vom deutschen Auswärtigen Amt beauftragt, einen Filmclip über europäische Tänze zu drehen. Der Clip Sternentanz veranschaulicht, wie volkstümliche Tänze „clubtauglich“ und jugendnah erarbeitet werden können. 2009 wurde sie abermals vom Auswärtigen Amt mit einem Kurzfilm über 20 Jahre Mauerfall beauftragt. Im Mai 2009 wurden Hacke und de Picciotto in dem Dokumentarfilm In Berlin unter der Regie von Ciro Cappellari und Michael Ballhaus als schillerndes Berliner Künstlerpaar vorgestellt. 2011 wurden sie zu einem viermonatigen Aufenthalt in der Meetfactory von David Černý in Prag eingeladen, um eine audio- visuelle Installation aufzubauen und brachte Ihre Berlin Memoiren The Beauty Of Transgression (Die Gestalten Verlag) heraus. 2012 wurde Danielle Mitglied der Cultband Crime & the City Solution. 2013 brachte die interdisziplinäre Künstlerin Ihr zweites Buch (Metrolit Verlag) We are Gypsies Now - Der Weg ins Ungewisse als Graphic Diary heraus. 2014 wurde Danielle eingeladen Musik für das Theaterstück Republik der Wölfe (Theater Dortmund) zusammen mit Mick Harvey, Alexander Hacke und Paul Wallfisch zu komponieren und während der Laufzeit live aufzuführen. Eine neue Band Ministry of Wolves entstand aus dieser Zusammenarbeit der vier Musiker.

Here, the noise of the traffic recedes and the street’s charms surge subtly into focus: fashion boutiques and indie cafés tucked into the ground floors of 19th Century Altbauten, the elegantly run-down Kino Babylon and the dark and seductive cocktail bar Würgeengel, the “exterminating angel”, a name borrowed from a surrealist film by luis Buñuel. It all looked very different in the 80s of course, when the Berlin Wall stood just under a kilometre away and the façades of these houses – now expensively renovated and worth a pretty penny – were still pockmarked by World War Two bulletholes. Mostly devoid of baths, the interiors heated by coal, their inhabitants – mostly Turkish immigrants – shivered and shuffled their way through the Berlin winter. 12 13 It was during this pre-Wende milieu that a tall, skinny and largely unknown Australian musician named Nicholas Edward Cave moved into no. 11. Aside from brief spells in apartments on naumannstraße (Schöneberg), yorckstraße, and nearby Oranienstraße, Cave spent the bulk of his seven on-and-off years in Berlin living in a tiny apartment alongside filmmaker and musician Christoph Dreher, founder of local outfit Die Haut. It was in this house that Cave wrote the lyrics and music for several Birthday Party and Bad Seeds albums, penned his debut novel (And The Ass Saw The Angel) and wielded a sizeable influence over Kreuzberg’s burgeoning post-punk scene.

  • Kid Congo Powers Double Record Release Party
    KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY Tonic, March 3, 2006 Kid Congo Powers is celebrating the release of two albums on March 3, 2006 at Tonic. The first, Solo Cholo, is a career-spanning compilation focusing on the legendary guitarist’s work as a vocalist and songwriter from 1985 to the present. The second, Philosophy and Underwear, is the debut recording of his current New York band, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds - in which Kid not only sings, but also plays blistering dual guitars with ace Jack Martin (Knoxville Girls, Honeymoon Killers, etc.). After twenty-five years in the recording business (The Cramps’ Psychedelic Jungle was 1981), these two albums are the first full-length recordings that focus on Kid’s songs. The event also marks New York Night Train (www.newyorknighttrain.com) webzine’s debut as a record label. For this momentous occasion Kid has gathered an all-star cast of collaborators, friends, and favorites that will amount to one of the most unusual assemblages of underground figures in downtown history. The headliner is of course Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds. The Birds will also back up Thalia Zedek (ex-Come, Live Skull, Uzi, etc.) on a few Gun Club numbers (Zedek is the vocalist who reminds Kid most of Jeffrey Lee Pierce). Another highlight of the evening is the reunion of the original New York version of Congo Norvell – Kid, Sally Norvell (actress, ex-Norvells, Prohibition, etc.), Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Vanity Set, ex-Sonic Youth, Cramps, etc.), Paul Wallfisch (Botanica, ex-Firewater, Love and Rockets, etc.), and Brian Emrich (film composer, ex-Foetus, Toasters, etc.).

  • Kid Congo Powers
    KID CONGO POWERS The gigantic tone of Kid Congo Powers’ open-tuned guitar is one of the more readily identifiable sounds in the history of underground rock. Best known for his contribution to the development of the contemporary noise guitar with The Gun Club, The Cramps, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in the 1980s, Kid’s spent the last fifteen years as a sideman (Make-Up, Mark Eitzel, Angels of Light, etc.), as a partner in Congo Norvell and Kid and Khan, a member of garage rock supergroup Knoxville Girls, and, most recently, the leader of Kid Congo Powers and the Pink Monkey Birds. What’s important about Kid’s resume isn’t only that he played with some of the best bands of all time, but that he did so during their finest hours, from The Cramps’ Psychedelic Jungle to Nick Cave’s Tender Prey to Angels of Light’s How I Loved You, Kid’s always had a knack for being with the right people at the right place at the right time. The last five years however, Kid’s gradually quit relying on his luck and taken matters into his own hands, emerged as a world-class songwriter and a distinctive vocalist. Jump-starting his career when he and Jeffrey Lee Pierce formed The Gun Club in 1979, Kid Congo Powers left the obscure new band in late 1980 when he was offered the universally coveted gig replacing Bryan Gregory in The Cramps. Though Kid was already a Cramp when The Gun Club recorded their classic debut Fire of Love (1981), a number of songs that he helped write and develop appear on the record.

When they decide to move to a small provincial town in Germany, Stevie attempts to slip into a normal life. Whilst her parents playfully escape their responsibilities, Stevie tries to make a good impression in town, spreading stories of grandeur and claiming to be the daughter of a diplomat. She makes progress. Yet the good weather doesn’t last and before long, she discovers that her parents have once more resorted to illegal means, as a way of supporting their leisurely lifestyle. As friends and hangers-on of her parents fill their new home, the chaos continually mounts. It is in this atmosphere of physical and emotional destruction, that Stevie must now start to define herself and perhaps even break free. THE UNPOLISHED/ DIE UNERZOGENEN tells the story of a girl caught up in a complicated adult world. A world in which the child/parent roles have been washed away and responsibilities are thrown back and forth. www.dieunerzogenen.de / www.theunpolished.com DIE UNERZOGENEN by Pia Marais DIE UNERZOGENEN THE UNPOLISHED by Pia Marais a production by PANDORA FILM PRODUKTION in co-production with WESTDEUTSCHER RUNDFUNK & SÜDWESTDEUTSCHER RUNDFUNK supported by FILMSTIFTUNG NRW FILMFÖRDERUNGSANSTALT MEDIA Programme of the European Community world premiere Tiger Awards Competition Rotterdam 2007 ARD-Treatment prize 2002 Max Ophüls Filmfestival Saarbrücken www.dieunerzogenen.de / www.theunpolished.com DIE UNERZOGENEN by Pia Marais Director's Comment An ambivalent childhood.
