The Kunstkapel itself is an incidental station for birdlife, as performers in rehearsal have repeatedly noted the action of the birds on the domed roof. Michael Pestel is also known for his invented instruments and installations that are grown out of his complex relationship with birds. For October Country, Michael Pestel will sketch out an atlas for birds which will make a strong connection with the work of the artist Joseph Cornell, who was a great bird enthusiast. Michael Pestel is currently exhibiting his collaborative work with artist Jeroen van Westen in the exhibition BirdScore at Zone2Source (www.zone2source.net).
