Kookoo is a monthly multidisciplinary collaboration led by Japanese sound artist Mieko Suzuki and Ara alias Arno Raffeiner, editor at Spex Magazine. Kookoo nights are built on electronic music and include visual art and conceptual image design, all of which are based on a carefully chosen song quote that sets a different mood and provides a fitting motto each time. The special atmosphere at Kookoo events is created through a constant dialogue of the artists responding to each other, a dialogue with the space at the venue – the Ohm Gallery (former Shift club) inside an immense defunct power plant building in Köpenicker Straße and, most of all, a dialogue with the audience. Kicking off in the summer of 2009 as a monthly event at Farbfernseher, Kookoo created a unique and intimate underground party vibe, gathering a strong and dedicated following. From early on, hosts Mieko Suzuki & Ara focused on collaborations with, among others, Australian artist Carly Fischer, Japanese painter Yuki Mori, dance performer Nobuhiro Mitani or video artists Yukihiro Taguchi, Ink Agop, Aiko Okamoto and Kookoo quickly became one of the favoured hot spots in Berlin’s notoriously nocturnal music and art scenes.
