Alfred 23 Harth
with Choi Sunbae
and with Rui Ibana, Rémi Klemensiewicz, Ian-John Hutchinson as Dojirak Orchestra
In 2024 Alfred 23 Harth was invited to present an evening at Moss in Seoul under the deliberately provocative title La Patte Fait Mal. This event, which combined an intimate duo with the renowned trumpetist Choi Sunbae and the premiere of the Dojirak Orchestra with Rui Ibana, Rémi Klemensiewicz, and Ian-John Hutchinson, was framed by Harth not merely as a musical performance but as a conceptual statement on the historical and aesthetic problem of the artistic patte—the signature style that has haunted much of Western twentieth-century discourse.
The French term patte, literally “paw,” came to designate in the early decades of the twentieth century the idiosyncratic and readily recognizable stylistic "hand" of an artist. Around this notion coalesced the ideal of individual signature as the measure of artistic authenticity. Harth’s title, La Patte Fait Mal—“The paw hurts”—encapsulates a twofold rejection of this model. On the one hand it signals the theoretical obsolescence of a stylistic individuality that once functioned as a guarantor of artistic value but has since been eroded in an age of polyglot, poly-stylistic production. On the other hand, the phrase bears the mark of bodily truth: for several years Harth’s work as a saxophonist has been accompanied by growing pain in the hands and shoulders, an embodied reminder of the cost of instrumental mastery. His title thus performs a double critique—of outdated romantic notions of style and of the very corporeal tolls of their pursuit.
The historical resonance of this gesture reaches back to Marcel Duchamp’s decisive stay in Munich in 1912. Witnessing academic painting in the Alte Pinakothek and reflecting on its conventions, Duchamp came to reject the compulsion of patte, inaugurating instead a mode of working in which the idea, rather than stylistic consistency, dictated the artwork. Duchamp’s pivot toward what would become conceptual art established a critical alternative to signature, mastery, and repetition. Harth aligns himself explicitly with this refusal, adopting an aesthetic of poly-stylistic openness that refuses categorization not only across musical idioms but also across media.
The structure of the Seoul evening reflected this ethos. In his duo with Choi Sunbae, the focus lay on immediacy and dialogue—two musicians compressing decades of improvisatory knowledge into a language of gesture, timbre, and breath. Here, individuality was not expressed through stylistic branding but through dialogic responsiveness, articulation without fixed identity. The debut performance of the Dojirak Orchestra, by contrast, extended the field of exchange. The ensemble’s very name—dojirak, the Korean lunchbox divided into compartments yet united in a single container—served as metaphor for Harth’s broader project: the coexistence of diverse sonic elements, not fused into one homogenous style but juxtaposed in resonance and difference. It was precisely the anti-synthesis of these compartments that asserted itself as a contemporary alternative to the strictures of patte.
Ultimately, La Patte Fait Mal inscribed itself less as a concert than as a performative essay on authorship in the present. It staged the exhaustion of the paradigm of signature style, aligning with Duchamp’s century-old refusal, while simultaneously intertwining that history with the reality of Harth’s own aging body. Physical pain became inseparable from conceptual resistance; the body itself testified to the demise of the ideology of mastery. In the Seoul context, this proposition resonated further, for Korean traditions of collective artistry and hybrid performance already stand apart from the Western burden of individualized stylistic signature. By situating his gesture here, Harth allowed La Patte Fait Mal to function both as provocation and confession: a challenge to historical notions of style, and an avowal of corporeal vulnerability as a generative force for art.
Thus the 2024 evening at Moss can be read as a summative statement within Harth’s oeuvre: an insistence on multiplicity, transversality, and conceptual play as the only viable response to a twentieth-century legacy haunted by the fetish of style, and a lived acknowledgment that both history and the body place their marks upon artistic production.

Brussels has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by a descendant of Charlemagne to a sizeable city. The city has a population of 1.1 million and a metropolitan area with a population of over 1.8 million, both of them the largest in Belgium. Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been a main centre for international politics.

Teng Li-chun (Chinese: 鄧麗君; pinyin: Dèng Lìjūn; 29 January 1953 – 8 May 1995), commonly known as Teresa Teng, was a Taiwanese singer, actress, musician and philanthropist. Referred to by some as the "Eternal Queen of Asian Pop", she is considered one of the most successful and influential Asian popular singers of all time. Teng is recognized as a cultural icon for her contributions to Chinese pop, giving birth to the phrase, "Wherever there are Chinese-speaking people, there is the music of Teresa Teng." A polyglot, her crystalline voice and emotionally resonant songs, have transcended geographical, linguistic, and political boundaries, captivating audiences across Asia for several decades.
With a career spanning almost 30 years, Teng established herself as a dominant and influential force in Asia throughout most of her career,[4] including East Asia, Southeast Asia, and, to some extent, South Asia. Teng is credited as the Far East's first pop superstar and by some as the pioneer of modern Chinese pop music—a major force in the development of the Chinese music industry by incorporating western and eastern styles into her music, replacing the most revolutionary songs then prevalent in mainland China and laying the foundation for modern Chinese popular music. Teng was also instrumental in bridging the cultural gap across Chinese-speaking regions[ and was one of the first artists to connect Japan to some of East and Southeast Asia by singing Japanese pop songs, according to Nippon. In Taiwan, she was famous for entertaining the armed forces and singing patriotic songs that appealed to civilians on the island. Teng was nicknamed "the patriotic entertainer" and "the soldiers' sweetheart."
Teng recorded more than 1,700 songs throughout her career, starting at age 14, not only in Mandarin, but also in Hokkien, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Japanese, Indonesian, English, and Italian.[16] To date, Teng's songs have been covered by hundreds of artists worldwide.
According to IFPI statistics, Teng has sold over 48 million albums, excluding sales in mainland China.[ In 1986, Time named her one of the seven greatest female singers in the world.[ In 2009, in a poll by a Chinese government web portal to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, Teng was selected as the "most influential cultural figure in China since 1949" by 8.5 million netizens. On the eve of the "March 8th International Women's Day" in 2010, she was named "the most influential woman in modern China" in a poll conducted by many well-known Chinese media. In 2022, Teng received a street name in Ivry-sur-Seine, Grand Paris, from the Municipal council of France. She was inducted into the "Popular Music Hall of Fame" at the Koga Masao Music Museum in Japan in 2007, making Teng the only non-Japanese national to do so.

The Plantin Polyglot (also called the Antwerp Polyglot, the Biblia Regia or "King's Bible") was printed by Christopher Plantin in Antwerp (Belgium) between 1568 and 1573.
Plantin was suspected of Calvinist sympathies, although Antwerp at that time was firmly Catholic. He developed a plan to prove his loyalty to the Catholic king Philip II of Spain by producing a polyglot version of the Bible, in five languages. The king promised to finance the project — completing it nearly bankrupted Plantin — and sent the Spanish theologian Benito Arias Montano to Antwerp to watch over the production of this eight-volume of printing, which was printed in 1,200 copies on paper and 12 copies on parchment.
Printing the Bible required thirteen printing presses and fifty-five men to run them, as well as expert linguists who acted as proofreaders.
The first four volumes contain the Old Testament. The left page has two columns with the Hebrew original and the Latin translation, the right page has same text in Greek with its own Latin translation. Underneath these columns there is an Aramaic version on the left-hand page and a Latin translation of this on the right-hand side.
