A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
