bau 8 opening weekend images

"The Dog & Pony Show - Reality Live" opened last Friday with a fabulous Jazz night at BAU. Marvin BU-GA-Lu Smith & Friends once again filled the backyard with incredible energetic bebop. The constantly changing exhibition, thematically revolving around actual political and sociological facts and the reality presented by the media, was contrasted by a rich performance program, thus providing "reality live" and a lot of artistic interaction. The upcoming weekends will provide many more of fascinatinfg live events + significant changes of the exhibition .
