Vienna is famous for its musical tradition. But apart from its strong connection to the past, Vienna can bost of many innovative contemporary musicians and composers. SCOPE is proud to introduce a musical journey through history, commissioned specifically for the scopeII conference.
Gerald Neumeister interpretes 'Narrating Heritage' musically. „The perception of compositions has changed and are still changing like the meaning of cultural sites has and does. Mozart at his time was avantgarde, today he is easy listening“, Gerald explains.
Therefore he creates a sound installation, which will be set up in the 'Engels Raum' of the Augustinertrakt. During the conference breaks people can walk in to this space, sit down and listen to a series of 20 minute sound loops which take you on a non chronological journey through musical history.

Vienna: scopeII presented Homi K. Bhabha in a press conference on Wednesday 12 July 2006, where he talked in detail to Austrian Journalists about the international conference “Sites & Subjects. Narrating Heritage”.
„The fact that the discussion on cultural heritage is happening in Austria is of a great significance because of the country's strategic, liminal position between the western and the eastern nations. Austria could be a bridge in this discussion.“ This was Harvard Professor Homi K. Bhabha's starting statement during the press conference, for which he flew in to Vienna, Austria, on Wednesday 12 July 2006 to Vienna, Austria. Bhabha, born in India and one of the leading postcolonial theoretician in the world, was discussing as scopeII committee member and key note speaker the topic of the forthcoming conference.
