On Wednesday 30 April at 20:00 — against the backdrop of Falke Pisano’s second Rehearsal II at PRAXES, subtitled Heart Head Hold-up—the Berlin-based artist and occasional radio-host Kerstin Cmelka (Austria) will perform a live DJ set and radio broadcast, If loving you is wrong, I don’t wanna be right, exploring female emotional desires and their attempts of expression in pop music.

Cmelka's practice spans from her early experimental films through photographic reworkings of film stills, ad images, and production shots to her performances—known as "microdramas"—which act as reflexive commentaries on the poles of art and life by blurring the line dividing staging from reality.
