Art Karaoke

The interactive karaoke installation is based on the art songs that annette hollywood also used in other works, in which she replaces the word “love” with the word “art” in well-known love songs. The lyrics of seven of these songs are animated in a powerful way as a video and invite the audience to sing along, as does the projection of a singer. Art Karaoke is framed by a sitting sculpture in the form of an oversized painting palette, in the long brushes the microphones can be found. The audience can take a seat on the paint cans and sing about their passionate relationship to art—from “Art Is in the Air” to “Art Hurts.” The reflection on the meaning and function of art can be found in the joint act of Karaoke singing, a playful version of “Lessons in Art.”
