A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
First live show outside the USA featuring one-off film pieces and live theatre from the ringleaders of the ‘weird new America’ psych folk explosion.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.
